December 2011 is the end

Even if most people leave, it's quite obvious by now that SE isn't going to let this game fail. After their horrid release, do you really think they will just let the game "die" a second death? They would have to be completely insane to let themselves get THAT much bad rep.

Even if NOBODY stayed, they would still release 2.0.

Mark my words.

Forgive me, this post was just so... out of touch I have to comment on it. So.. really? You think that SE is not going to pull the plug if it doesnt have enough people to support it via subs? If 66% (quoting a post above) actually leave, you can kiss this game goodbye. Why? Because upper management and bean counters wil lstate that since 66% is not paying then most likely the game would not be worth holding up.

Think about it please.

Let's use the 66% value. If 34% of the current game population starts paying, it's still an increase over 0% now...

Who cares. First it was the game was going to fail miserably. Now that future plans are stated through 2013 it's on to the next whine.. the dreaded start of pay to play. Sooo.. the game is good enough to play for free but when it comes time for people to ante up their beer and hooker funds it's a no go.

Lame. Look if people like the game and want to pay to play then do so. If you like the game but not enough in it's current state to pay then take a leave and come back when you think it's good enough to pay for. If you are just a free leech who never wants to pay despite the games condition then admit that to yourself and move on already and stop trolling the end of FF14. Haters gonna hate.. Players gonna play no matter what.

yeah that one comment is absurd. If noone stayed in the game it would end of course but that's ridiculous and not going to happen. Give Yoshi and his team and the suits at SE a little more credit. Don't you think these smart guys have sat down and taken all this into consideration already.. the potential playerbase losses vs gains present and future.

Everything you people have thought of that's the possible demise of ff14 they have already discussed a long time ago. The game is going to thrive and there's nothing you can do about it except post more garbage and stop playing or get onboard.

Most of my LS's are staying. I honestly think people are over-reacting about having to pay. OOO...a whole 10-12 dollars...


Honestly, I've only heard a few people complain about it, but no one has said they were leaving of the people I know.

Granted, the original pricing points probably don't hold water to what the new sub fees will be, but they were around $13/mo. for base subscription and one character. If I remember right, it was $9.99 base sub, and $3 per character.

I know a lot of my LS members have said if they charged a flat $10/mo, they'd stay. I'm not sure why the extra two or three dollars makes a difference, but it's probably the same psychology that applies to pricing anything with " .99" at the end.

You just jelly you're not me.
I am the greatest on this game, and people get mad, and when they get mad, they make rage threads to try and blame the game for letting me play.

My 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

Have you noticed that it's always Archers with this strange attitude? This and their impatience. Every time someone in my party runs ahead of the tank in a dungeon, engages a mob before we're ready, or aggros accidentally because they're running around - it's an Archer. No wonder they're turning you guys into bards. It'll be like putting you on ritalin. (and giving an aesthetic/responsibility boost, but that's beside the point.)
