Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

Wow so much name calling going on...idiot this and that..wtf? Is this really necessary? o_O And these same ones are calling the others "immature". Ah wait, this is the internet >_<

Whether the game is worth paying for or not is irrelevant..that's an opinion not a fact. What is a fact is that Yoshi-P did tell us that we could expect subscriptions to start back up once the game had a plan and they could begin moving forward. Never once did he, or anyone at SE, say subscriptions would start back up once the game was fixed. In fact, I believe Yoshi-P saw this crap storm coming from a long way away and tried to warn us.

What most people, including myself, are bothered with is how exactly this is all taking place. But the problems don't lie with the here and now, they lie in the past where the game was marketed as retail worthy and it wasn't. That however is in the past...nothing anyone can do about it now.

All that can be done by SE is to continue business as usual..and for the players its time to make a mature decision as to whether they will continue to play this game or not to play this game. This really isn't that difficult lol

When I first played in Alpha/beta I defended the flaws "oh its alpha/beta, will be fine later" after release though (and yes I bought the Collectors) I was a bit disappointed, I messed with it for a month and dropped it for a good while, but I kept an eye on it because I do love Final Fantasy...... I started messing with it again after 1.8 and even more so in 1.9 but to be honest, other then this one time story and me leveling my crafting and practicing mage classes, I wont get serious till 2.0

Is it still worth my money per month? yes, because it will entertain me with new things to do no matter when I pick it up and play it.

For me, I don't mind to pay.

But what I am worrying about is that, they going to make us to pay 1 year ahead before the 2.0 launch. And then once 2.0 released, we realized that everything is changed, and what we will have done in 2012 will become "Dated characters", "Dated Junks", etc. So everything we doing prior 2.0 is just simple wasted effort.

Then we realized that what we have been paying for, is to fund SE to continue the 2.0 project.

I'm proud of all you loyalists are admitting you are basically helping them fund a project.

You guys forget you are, or we are, part of a big minority in the MMO market. As far as MMOs, or even online games go, we are a very small player base. Too small. And now, SE wants to split us up again?

You do realize, that it's commonplace on the internet that everyone thinks as I do? because we are not blinded by faith? because most people who play online rpgs, or rpgs at all, would not touch FFXIV with a 10 foot pole?

You guys can huddle together and go "you go girl" to each other all you want. SE is not going to make money off of you in the next year. I can't believe you guys can go as far to say that even if ONE person pays for the subs, they make money.

You fail to realize that this is not the year that matters. It is when 2.0 launches. As of right now, FFXIV is really, really below market standards for an online only game. They took 100 steps backwards when they developed and released this game. Now, when 2.0 launches, by that time they promise it will be to market standards.

the problem I am seeing here is, I don't think anyone who are buying MMORPGs in 2012 holiday season are going to give a fuck. You don't realize how bad a bad launch for an MMORPG can be. It can be the absolute death of it from the get-go. Now, the new dev team are working extremely hard to get this game back on track, I realize that. But, another year of basically "bad" game, -and- you have to pay for it? NO ONE NEW IS GOING TO BUY THE GAME, at best in 2012, the few of us who bought this game on launch day may come back after 2.0

Stop whining. They are charging for the game. Deal with it. Better yet, go away. You're a useless waste of space.

Normally I don't respond to this kind of crap, but you really are helping no one by posting this. You loyalists really are making the community look like utter garbage to those who look to us from the outside. If someone wanted to actually look into this game, check the forums, and read all of your hateful bullshit, they may not buy this game. You guys really don't care that you get new players at all, do you? You just want to huddle together and shun everyone else who has any doubt. You guys really are starting to disgust me as a FFXIV player.

This game will do just fine without you or anyone like you. Also take a look in the mirror. You have been spouting hate ever since you started posting on these forums. Get a life.

You're so mad bro! Can't handle the truth? Personal insults always work when backed into a corner.

Backed into a corner? Dude, you need a reality check. This is really simple people. If you don't want to pay, fine don't. Nobody cares. Just go away. Slamming the forums with boohoo posts and deliberately trying to be a dbag because the game "deserves to fail" is immature and asinine. Backed into a corner? Yeah right. You all need to be taken over someone's knee to beat the brat out of you.
