[Request] Premium Servers!

[Raltar]

It would bring about the existence of a gated online community for players willing to pay a bit extra for such an experience.

But why, though?

[Just-Communication]

I think it would be wonderful if there were special servers that were only open to players willing to pay a premium fee to gain entry. For the sake of convenience they would be attached to the existing datacentres but world visit would be disabled for players who have not paid the entry fee.
I was thinking that it would also be a neat touch to name the servers themselves after the more opulent regions of the game world such as Kugane, Eulmore and Ul'dah.
It would be an excellent way for players with a disposable income to better identify each other and mingle within their own micro version of FFXIV's great community.

You say it would be wonderful but do not provide examples as to why. Why would it be wonderful? What would these players, with their extra disposable income, be paying for? Why would they want to pay a premium fee to play on these special servers? How does creating a gated online community help increase sales or improve the profitability, if there are no benefits?

The game already offers additional features such as extra retainers, name changes, appearance changes, and optional items from the Mogstation for those with disposable income to spend on. You can always create your own exclusive fellowship, FC, or a LS to have your own gated community without even having to pay extra.

If you have not thought it through, then it is merely a whim and not a serious request by any means. Either that or you only want to see the reactions of those who would be excluded.

You just got Gula'd so you might as well come clean with it.

[AngelCheese77]

Yeah, cause it went so well for Bethesda ...

[Alucard135]

How did you know I was fishing in game between my posts? I hope I catch a big fish!

LOL!! Ok this is a good one XD

As for your suggestion, I support you. And if people are asking why?

Today on "Why We Should Eat the Rich"...

[GetFoesReqd]

I believe Yoshi P has made statements in the past leading to the inference that he does not wish to divide the player base, which this would do. It was why we got an RP tag, but not RP servers. I cannot imagine he would ever support the idea of elitism servers. After all, his team is one of the few in video game land that are managing to make promises they actually endeavor to keep. *waves at Bethesda as it burns away all of its goodwill*

[StriderShinryu]

Sure. But they should name the server Eulmore instead.

[DJMau]

Found that one person who worships the ground that 76 pukes upon

[Reinha]

That sounds awesome. Quarantine all the whales in Eulmore and disable world visit to and from there.
