Price Reduction =)

[DNO]

Sorry but anyone defending this 3$ a char is a biggest fanboys I've ever seen. There is no excuse to charge for it. There are other games which allow even more freedom to build your character and you can have more chars for the sub price. Some of you should start sending SE money just to feel good. SE should add donations to the game.

And anyone thinking you need more then one charatcer in a game that allows you to play everything in one mule is just plain silly and needs to really think about what they are asking for.

What we should be complaining about is the retainers. Why do we need to pay extra for those?

Yay for reduced price. Yay for FFXI discount.

Nay for $3/character. Nay for FFXI discount only lasting three months where it should be continued indefinitely, since they're not even putting effort into FFXI anymore. (It might change but I won't hold my breath, SE and their learning curve...)

Also nay for the possibility of having to pay for our 1st two retainers starting 2.0. The ones we've had all this time and filled with items which are integral to our playing routines. Yeah, that won't be an awkward transition... /sarcasm

Not sure why SE continues to be so full of themselves with all the negative response they get. Live and let die, or something!

Well, time will tell which (between XI and XIV) I end up quitting.

Does anyone else find it mildly frustrating that people seem to parade around that "3$ was always the fee, what are you talking about?" when not a single one of us has paid a single penny for a single day spent ingame thus far...?

3.00/char and 1.00/retainer has always been the projected cost since....sept 2010? THEN they decided not to make us pay so obviously we never payed a penny. The knowledge has always been there though. It's your own fault for being ignorant if you never realized it until now.

I know people feel clever when they state facts people tend to overlook, but really? Like everything else in this game, your projected cost was a decision born from a mountain of bad ones, which they are struggling to rectify. According to your logic, Richard, we should still be paying full price since you're stuck in 2010. Apparently, I'm not the ignorant one! Huzzah

3$ per additional char sounds bad on paper, tho most ffxi fans know you can do everything on 1 character, most new players looking to try/buy the game for the first time might get turned off by it.

im happy w/ the discount tho. i'll probably pay to play the whole way til 2.0 now. pending on how the patches are up to it.

I don't like that 3€/$ per character fee even though i agree you can do everything on one character.

You can always deactivate one of your slots and activate another one for as long as you wish, the only downside is that you are then stuck with that character for one month at least, unless you pay that is.

When do the updated prices show up on the account page?

I am still seeing the old prices in my recurring services...

I am showing the charge to be $60+ for 180 days

"Give us a discount!"

"Give us a discount!"

"I don't like this discount!"

You just made the best summary of these forums I've seen so far.


However, I'm still glad to see all the complaints since we might not have had that price reduction without them.

And that proves that people still care, even if it causes massive headaches sometimes.
