Wait until everyone's been billed

[Jinko]

spending 30 dollars on a game and playing for a month is well worth it, and if people don't want to pay the fee
for subpar service they won't expect numbers to taper off starting today and thank god for that...lets face it this is a game for the hardcore ff gamers and im one of them....hopefully the pop will stay healthy for SE to
spend more money on upgrades and content GL SE

LOL really ?

LOL really ?

yah we'll see in around 1 year who's still hanging around I can guarantee you it won't be the casual ff gamers....count on it

SE isn't going to be making anymore hardware upgrades until everyone's been billed.

You say that like this game isn't already tens of millions of dollars in debt. They need to run it for at least 5 years before they see a profit (their words, not mine)

So if you aren't legacy, you're still SOL for another 20 days? :/

[nasomi]

Legacy expired today, but the people that bought the game have time left I believe. SE has major costs to recoup after 1.0's losses and 2.0's development. I can entirely understand hteir hesitation to buy new hardware for hte current population. I have never waited longer than 2 minutes in hte queue to log in, nor longer than 15 minutes for the duty finder, even during peak hours.

I did just renew all 4 of my service accounts. It was my first time in the new billing system, I have to say I don't love it. Also seems glitchy, it doesn't list all of my characters under each service account, and under one it says no characters. If I click on another service account, and click back, they'll be there. That doesn't instill confidence.

Got billed today and thus far I don't see myself unsubbing.. though.. still got 90 days to go till the next billing!

[Drako]

I'm legacy and I got billed three weeks ago for some reason(gonna check with support on this) but I also got billed today for my 30day sub. I actually couldn't login and had to go on and put in my payment method. I already did that a few weeks ago, and I thought everything was kinda honky when I put in my info three weeks ago and got charged. I was like wait don't we get some free time? So 1 I got charged already, and 2 I've been charged today, which is only three weeks from the last time I was charged, so idk something weird is going on.

SE isn't going to be making anymore hardware upgrades until everyone's been billed. 10k for an instance server for duty finder, 50-60k for a world server, hardly seems justifiable if no one plays past their 30day subscription, or their 1.0 subscription. Once the population levels out and SE can determine how many actual players there are playing, they'll make hardware adjustments. But before then it would be foolish to waste that kind of money, only to have the servers sitting empty and unused in a month.

Yeah clearly a company charging a $13/month sub should be stingy with their money, and offer worse servers than f2p or b2p games.

[nasomi]

Then go play the f2p games. No one is forcing you to pay $13/mo. and their servers are great for me, I haven't seen any issues since they did that maintenance to add servers.

You're in complete denial or blind. Also your personal experience means NOTHING.

Servers are great huh? No issues?

There is no defending this, if you are charging someone for this quaility of service, when guild wars 2 and pso2 is free to play and buy to play, with NO MONTHLY SUB, and has enough servers to handle everyone, you are bananas.

Game is fantastic, they need to use that monthly sub money to support the game properly, because apparently, if not, they need to go free to play.

That's not a server issue; something needs to be done to encourage more players to play tanks and healers.

What? COMPLETELY wrong, it's "reserving instance", you queue up with a full party of 4 people and have to wait 40-120 minutes just to zone in. The instance server is full, you cannot enter. It's not queueing, it's not forming a party, it's trying to enter, but the server is full. Please do not respond to things you know nothing about.
