Stop calling it a beta

[Rowyne]

I just emailed this thread to all of my friends to show them how retarded the FFXIV boards are.

Seriously, it's a silly thing to argue about at this point. SE has made their decisions, no going back now.

Some feel that this period is basically nothing but a big paid beta test and it's outrageous to be asked for a subscription fee. Can't blame you. I feel the same way.

Some enjoy the game and are excited enough to pay to get a front row seat to world-changing events. For those of you new to this sort of thing, it is pretty neat. For those of us who have been around the block, it's World of Warcraft Cataclysm all over again. They do a world event every expansion. Been there, done that. More than once.

Doesn't matter what you call it, it's all about your point of view.
