Charge for Final Fantasy XIV

[Kaedan]

Yes but 4% to SE to rebuild would put how many back to work as well. And it's not true that Red Cross doesn't have operating expenses to pay from what we donate. There are multiple ways to help the people of Japan. Donate to Red Cross AND pay SE!

But DO NOT donate to the American Red Cross. Please, for the love of all that is holy people, don't make this mistake (not if you want your money to actually get to Japan, that is).

Donate only to the Japanese Red Cross. If you donate to the American Red Cross or any of the other charity orgs accepting right now, you have no guarantee that ANY of your money will used for Japan.

Agree - Japanese Red Cross

If you want to help the displaced Japanese, quit talking about helping them and help them.

not meaning it as a flame because i would be willing to do so, but there are also only people playing now hoping the game becomes as they say "playable". i enjoy the game and the friends i have made on here so would continue to do so, but the last thing they need is another reason for anyone to leave before the game gets to an actual release quality if those people leave and don't come back.

like i said i did not mean this is mean and rude, but truth is even is only 10% of the people left that's more than they can afford at this point. i personally would pay, but i just don't think it's smart business.

if anyone wants to help japan go to one of the links for places like red cross and give. i have and i have heard alot on here say they have done so also.

No thanks, not being rude but if this game started charging me I would not play, even if the money was going to a good cause. I dont buy random crap on ebay just because I can donate some of it to a charity, I buy what I want, a product I like then I have the choice.

Theres plenty of places and resources to let you donate, I've already donated a bunch, and this game is not worth a penny.

If SE wants to shoot themselves in the foot and ruin the remaining chances the game has charging would be the way to go.

A better idea would be to copy what CCP did and do a crysta for relief... but then again you've got groups like the red cross and doctors without borders to donate to as well. If you want to donate, there are options people.

then please do everyone a favor and educate us on where is better place to donate, most of us have been directed to red cross ever since, and the OPs idea isnt really a good one.. driving away the already low base players? (i will probably keep playing, but i know shitload of ppl that still plays just because its free)

The unfortunate thing is there is no great "direct" way for Americans to donate. There is no online options to donate to the JSDF.

However, barring that, donating directly to the Japanese Red Cross is an option. You can donate directly to the JRC through this link provided by Google:

I agree, I don't see SE doing this, but the idea has merit. But if you do want to help out, the link above is the best option for an American.

Ugh, don't donate to UNICEF. The UN is a hive of scum and villainy. Plus I think they said, when they feel like they've spent enough, ie not everything, they are taking the rest of the money and putting it elsewhere.
