Why are you subing?

[Albuslupus]

Well lets see; um, because I love the game. And I intend on sticking around to see what they add to it, yes I have had trouble playing during EA. So what, its a great game. And a lot of fun to play, thats why I'm subing.

Got to play very little with 1017 and most ppl that get in are just not logging out so they won't have to wait later making it even worse. Hubby and I opened the game at the same time last night....he got in with 2 tries I was spamming for almost an hour....so those that are getting in and saying "I don;t know what you guys are complaining about." it is not the same for everyone!

Just have to wait, i don't mind waiting as i have other games to play aswell. The little money i paid for all 80 days of sub feels like a robbery xD I don't mind waiting, they will get the issues solved sooner or later, the problem right now is that there is no auto-boot option in the game that kicks AFK people.

NO auto-boot and 1017 happening without there being a queue those are the biggest issues atm. Besides those 2 problems there's little to complain about. Except maybe the horrid lip syncing when you are using english voice overs, I am unsure wether or not the problem persists when you are using japanese voice overs.
I'm loving the story, the combat while not the best thing since sliced bread is effective and really fun in groups. The crafting is really enjoyable, and the higher your level gets the more complex it becomes.

People want the veteran rewards, that's really what the rush is. /snip

You don't get the vet rewards until after the 30 free days is up though, as you are not charged sub fees until that time.

You're wrong. I got both the rank 1 and 2 vet rewards after adding my 60 days gamecard.

Timecards give them instantly, been this way for pretty much every game I've played.
Since you essentially just payed them on the spot.
S/he's talking about if you add a sub instead, I believe, in which case you would need to wait out the free month for them to charge you.

[Solerace]

The veteran rewards will always be there no matter if you pay now or 6 months from now as long as you sub so I still see no point in subing right now. I see to many people white knighting this game its sickening any other company they would of been hanged by all other news sites by now.

You get the veteran rewards as soon as you add the subscription. You can get all 3 months worth of rewards today if you sign up for 90 days.
