Lifetime Subscription

[Thunderz]

Would be cool if they had it at the start of the game...wouldn't make much sense to keep it as a payment option after the game is launched and I wouldn't mind paying for it

[Gramul]

I believe it's because Square Enix wasted million and million dollars to get us back and they are afraid to make Lifetime sub an option. And that's my guess.

Well, yeah, it's ultimately up to Square. I'm just wondering about the more personal reasons against it.

Lifetime Subs is usually a sign of change from P2P to F2P ( Hybrid or not). That's the only thing the worries me if they have that option. It's a Personal feeling that I hope "if" they offer it that they don't go F2P.

I think people hate on the idea because they are just haters and stink on everything... there's not any other reason... If they don't like lifetime subs don't buy them, sheesh.

FFXIV was voted least likely to go Free 2 play given FFXI never went free to play and Hiir thinks that game is um... like oatmeal, cold, no sugar. And FFXIV went Free to play and then stopped being free as soon as it could.

The unlikely hood of any free to play in the future makes me want a lifetime sub even more.

Yes FFXIV went F2P, but them being a Multi-Billion dollar Company, they have the Funds and resources to continue the game as if it were a "P2P" game.

Other companies don't have that type of Cash to Dull out on no income coming out of it. It was a F2P game but it "behaved" like a P2P game. However they can't do that forever without any income, so It's either ARR is Strictly P2P.. or they will go F2P and "Act" like a F2P game this time, with no hope to get out a third time.

No way ARR is worse than 1.0 was. So I don't see it going F2P...

You see, most people don't like paying bills. lol

$10-$15 a month is nothing man.

I agree with you, and it's already true, Alpha 2.0 is already 10 times better than Alpha 1.0. So I think were good. =)

Off-topic: I have been wondering.. Wait, I am just curious...

Any of you Alpha testers who have read the thread called "This is how I play."

Did it get abusive after I trolled it and went to the bed? Whenever, I read it and it definitely does look like it. >_>

[HiirNoivl]

No I'm not a tester, and frankly, the stuff that I've heard about the Alpha forums mentioned here kinda makes me glad I'm not >.>
