Only thing we are really getting is more text in this build

You be real- the only thing our subs will fund is the localization teams' + GM salary and the server upkeep.

2.0 is getting funded out of SE's secret stash of booty.

Mmmm.....booty....

But seriously OP, you say nothing promised is coming until 2.0 when in reality, it's the opposite. The AH/MW hybrid system comes in 1.20 along with class balancing, the job system comes in 1.21, and the list goes on.

Of course, you would know that if you actually read any part of the roadmap.

Do you really believe our subscriptions are going to be in a large enough number to fund a project like XIV 2.0? Absolutely not. It's only going to pay for everything Betel said.

Also, booty.

Just from this one post, I'm going to assume you're nothing but a troll. Like ellohwell. This is one of the greatest insults I could ever come up with. *cracks knuckles*

I can't tell if you're trolling or legitimately an idiot.

They already said themselves that even if NOBODY (Zero) subscribe, they are still going ahead with 2.0. This means that they already have funds set and planned for to be used for 2.0.

This means that subscription fees are going towards server upkeep, GM crapola and the like. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

THAT'S THE POINT. If GMs, server upkeep, etc cost x amount of dollars, and the development of 2.0 will cost 1000x (a thousand times x), and our subs amount to ~x, then.... dur, you're basically just paying for the basic stuff.

Sub fees will be just enough to cover upkeep costs like I said. Everything else is funded by the house.

The revenue from this will be negligible, just like the upkeep costs.
