Log in to see forums!? <Can I have it?>

[Issachar]

O_o?! Very strange. I tried to view the forums Friday morning and got a message that said "Your account has been temporarily suspended and you are now being logged out". The account was suspended because I didn't fill out my billing. I refreshed the page and I was logged out. I... guess I didn't try to log back in. /shrug

They force-logged everyone sometime around billing. I got the same message, and I just logged back in afterwards.

I really don't like this idea. First of all, the live letter from the producer videos are public to begin with, so your idea is kind of.. pointless at the moment since Yoshi-P is giving out some seriously juicy information. But I can see why you'd want this, however, I don't think it's plausible. Nice try though ;D

What I'm saying is small tid bits, you know first look at ummm stuff before it goes public like, the male miquote ^.^ or first look at the new mount. Just little things nothing huge

You don't need to be logged in or even have activity to be able to see important sections like that.

That's very selfish of you to suggest.
I mean everyone needs to be able to see everything SE is planning with the game. Or else how would they know if they want to come back or not? I'm so sick of everyone wanting "special benefits" for paying.

I'm pretty sure the forums won't let you post if you haven't been logged into XIV for 30 days, unless they've changed it. Being able to read only is fine--it's probably more frustrating to the ones that want to reply SO BADLY and can't. That's fine with me. The problem is that the forum has an unusual measure of 30 days (i.e. wouldn't let me on after I'd been playing for a week).
