Subscription deadline is coming up and the question is: will you subscribe?

[Azazela]

The only MMO since WoW thats actually worth playing, and has a future ahead of it. Though in its current state FFXIV is a foundation for a great game, but that will take time.

[Scarzi]

And who says it will be good? After 6 years of watching various mmos crash and burn it always starts out where people praise them for being the best thing ever just to have all that praise go down the drain less than a month later as people find out it's really not much different from any other mmo or the changes that looked so good suddenly are terrible.

Everything looks great so far, and the fact that Carbine is founded by old blizzard employees that made games when they were good by that company. They know it takes time to make a game, which is why its been delayed and they don't care that there are two other big title MMOs coming out then. I felt this game should have been delayed another 3-4 months after playing beta, but they never and its will cost them a lot of subscribers.

This is actually my first stab at an online RPG and I am loving it. Normally I play a single player game, which at the moment I am doing here as well, but there are many advantages to being part of a community in ARR.
I am an older gamer and can take my time savouring all the games storyline and graphics have to offer. I have 6 characters on different worlds and servers, which happened at the beginning when we couldn't get logged on. I made the characters in different fighting disciplines, so that when a server was down or full, I had choices of others to try. At the moment I am slowly progressing my characters to level 20, and while the story for some is repeated, like Gladiator and Marauder, I can still enjoy engaging the same story with different skill sets weapons and armour.

I have not even started on any of the crafting classes yet, rather concentrating on steady build up before switching some to get my backup skills. There is simply masses of things for me to do and I am enjoying the Final Fantasy backdrop and references to games I enjoyed on consoles years ago. Maybe because I mostly played on consoles before, I am pleased to still be able to use a game pad in this pc game as well, though I admit there are some major control issues of playing with a pad, which strangely weren't evident during the Beta trials?
I have subscribed for 90 days and at this monthly cost I hope I can stay subscribed and enjoying playing for many months ahead. Maybe I am easily pleased, but so long as I'm enjoying it immensely I'll keep paying and playing. If your not then I agree you should leave, it will make the worlds less congested for all of us that ARE enjoying this experience

Already subbed 3 months but that was well before I saw end game....

There is only ONE level 50 4 man dungeon, CM/Prae (little more than easy mode philo farms), 3 HM primal raids (2 are easy, third one is a giant road block) that once you get your weapon and or relic bit there is no point going back, and then the coil which only a VERY small part of the community will get to see. That's it.

Could level an alt class/job but I have almost always find a class I love (WHM) and stick with it. Heck, I played resto druid in that other game almost exclusively for 7 years to give you an idea of my dedication. Basically I am not an 'alt' person....and besides leveling other classes is extremely boring since it revolves around grinding Fates which the first time around was not bad but after that it's really um...not fun.

Could level a crafter but it really does not interest me at all and besides; competing with the other couple 1000 crafters and botters is just not attractive to me.

I will just have to hope that new content is added that adds some longevity. You take Rift at launch which had what 5+ lvl 50 small group dungeons with HM versions, 2x large raids, open world lvl 50 content through public/private raid rifts, and then fully functional PvP systems with 3+ venues for 16+ players to fight in (4v4 mode which is essentially a WoW arena thus no thxs! Wtb AV ); it is the only MMO other than WoW/pre-cu swg that has kept me going for more than 6 months. And amusingly, Rift was considered pretty light when comes to end game...so what is FF 14? lol.

Problem is FF 14 has a very limited end game atm compared to even games like SWtoR. Lack of 'end game' content has proven to kill more MMOs than I could count now, I pray FF 14 does not make the same mistakes. Until 2.1 or what ever comes out...there is not much to do really; I can only run AK so many times (over 100 now) before I may find something else to do...

I won't immediately subscribe, but it's highly likely I'll subscribe in a month or so. I just have too much going on in the next month to play. That said, you can kind of count my vote in as a "If I could subscribe, I totally would subscribe."

So basically Wildstar will also offer nothing new and you re excited, good for you. You should give a look at Everquest Next, at least there's some innovation

I can't wait until the end of free play combined with the new wow patch removes all the wow players. Awesome timing there, without the patch some of these people might sub. As much as I like the game now, it will be so much better when these people are gone, less stress on the servers too.

What are you talking about? Your condescending tone makes you look worse than most, if not all the people I ever met in WoW.

I played WoW for 7+ years...sure there was a lot of bad apples but my 300+ member guild that I was in for the same duration was down right mature and awesome over all. My faction was also great since we were under dogs so the community was super tight.

How long did you play WoW for? My guess is not very long if at all.

Since Yoshi made a statement ARR is considered as new game, i will put and try my faith to their product for now.
Even though im legacy, i will keep playing... right now there's still a lot of thing to do.... I know they will add huge content ahead sometimes in the future (it's not patch 2.1),
for that i am preparing, gearing, and making money. When i got bored i can play other games for a while...

My answer is Yes, i will keep paying... subscribed 3 months already.
