Thread: 4.2 changes & monthly fee

Then everyone in that fc that private rooms to it will loose them and maybe some items that can't be moved or put in storage.

No one is losing any houses, since the currently owned houses (both private and FC ones) are grandfathered.

I wouldn't mind them changing the monthly fee so I'm paying in AUD and not EUR...

SE is trying badly to squeeze our wallets without making the game any better!...

Heavensward was obviously better than Stormblood and there's no way to change that!...

Bolding your words doesn't make your claim more legitimate. Using logic instead would make your argument better.

Shouldn’t they adjust the monthly fee?

The main difference between Entry and Normal Subscriptions is the number of characters you are allowed to play in total and per world. Prior to 4.2 we were allowed to play 8 characters per world. But now, 7 out of those 8 will have a new restriction. Are they going to reduce the monthly fee too?

And I am not talking about an in-game reward. It is the real money we pay what should also be reduced, the very same as the service we get.

After all, what is the real purpose on having alts, besides making with them what we cannot make with our main? Do we really deserve having now, after 4 years, such a cap on them not applied to the fee?

*facepalm*

Just not on the same world, which for that i expect the ability to add alts to your own property.

Before going full doom and gloom, wait for the housing site to go live.

It's not just housing, by the way. See also: They're moving item codes from account-wide to single character.

Codes have always been ether account-wide or single. XD

I didn't realize housing was so important to people that the real world cost of the game should be changed for new restrictions. It's really not that deep.

First of all, I want to thank all your opinions and ideas. Just to reply some of them:

That is adding new content. Not exactly this thread’s topic, although related. The addition of new content, in terms of gameplay, is something applied to the whole player-base. In 4.2 they are changing, not only the content, but also the way that one specific kind of subscription works.

The measure itself doesn’t give a chance to anyone. It removes, indeed. Read it carefully.

What if I have already paid for a 6 month period on a Normal Subscription?
