Price Reduction =)

[Dreadnought]

three dollars makes that big of deal to you people?
$13.00 was hardly a dent. $10.00 is the exact equivalent in my opinion. there literally is no difference as far as i see it.
id pay either price.

I just think this is not a smart move for future success in the game. (people on this forum have a for every aspect or against every aspect mindset on here so sadly I have to set that up lol)

Not to be rude, but I don't think they care. They are running a game that is currently bleeding money, yet they continue to run a company in the black. They have damn good financial advisers. They're giving the community a discount as it is. Also we have always known that extra characters were $3.00 extra. This is nothing new.

Also, 3$ per additional character is ludicrous. Is this their attempt to make up for the losses in reducing the base fee...?

It has been that way since the beginning of time.

It also sounds like quite the stupid way to make up for losses since it is completely voluntary payment and no one here is going to need it to experience the game.

Well why raise a topic that is irrelevant. When they released XIV, they said you didn't need to make multiple characters because of the armory system. You shouldn't have to make multiple characters, that's your own problem.

Relevance? Your topic is about Fees and I'm posting my opinion about part of the Fee. Don't see how that is irrelevant. I aprreciate that you don't think it matters and thats great for you ^^. But I wonder why make a post if you get irritated with anyone feeling not 100% the same way you do. Really seems odd to me.

Side point: I would pay 5$ extra a month if they make Puppetmaster in 2.0!!!! (Best class EVER! WAHOO!!)

The way the fees are presented is unsurprisingly convoluted (gg SE). I've read previous posts in this thread so I understand it now... At a glance, however, it appears they reduced the price from 12.99 to 9.99 and then once more to 6.99. At least these were my first confused and misled impressions... Also, 3$ per additional character is ludicrous. Is this their attempt to make up for the losses in reducing the base fee...?

it was always $3.00 per character.
they always had it as two payments. your base and your character payment.
you can have no characters and still pay the base price with 0 access to the game.

Because you said it's ridiculous that they charge us for extra character slots when they said YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING WITH ONE CHARACTER... geez.

I would pay full sub if was the original FFXIV! ^^ (but for the current FFXIV...i'm not really sure)

Off-topic: Nice character name lol!

I easily have that $$$'s worth of fun a month so SE can have my money. Besides, I spend more than the 180 sub price in wine a month.

For the most part all they did was wave the Character Fee of $3 from the prices before, dolled the lodestone post to make it look like we paying less ( which we are ), then came and said look discounted price. When its all said and done what we really paying is the Basic Service Fee from Previously Announced Rates.

So in short... we are paying to use the servers, and our 1st char is free. I don't know you can dress up poo to make it look better but in the end it will still be poo. I feel they shoudl just get rid of the Character Fee and just make it the Basic Service Fee, till 2.0.

Still not fully happy with price, but I'll see how many of my friends staying to see if ima keep playing or wait till 2.0/ps3
