Mog Wardrobe 3 & 4 Announced With A Fee.

Personally, I'll pay for w/e they decide to come out with. I may not be the most active player anymore, but I do love the game and will support them. I already pay for multiple accounts, what a few more bucks?

If FFXI servers are costing SE too much to maintain, they would have merged away all of those dead ones by now lol.

I wish they would cut a few servers down anyways... Shiva NA pop is roughly 600'ish average but we have a huge JP population... upwards of 1400

This line of thinking begs the question, how much is too much for a monthly subscription to FFXI? If $4 is a laughable amount I imagine you'd be comfortable paying a monthly subscription fee a good bit higher than $17. Do you think that's the sort of thing that will help or hurt the game?

I'm paying 34 a month for 2 chars plus mule. I think I'm overpaying. I think I'm going to cut it down to 30 bucks a month. That will pay for 2 char and have 4 bucks left over for mog wardrobe 3 and 4 so yes I'm already paying more then 17 a month.

!!

Moar room for.....

You are right. But they have not done this. Everyone is angry about something that didn't happen and may never happen. All you angry people need to calm down. Why get upset about something you imagined?

Never said it was great money lol, always has me scratching my head but /shrug.

And by everyone he means an incredibly small group of self selecting individuals who don't really do much else.

For what it's worth, I'm (and I'm sure others) not only potentially upset about what might happen, I'm also upset about 4$ for wardrobes, 4$ isn't that much money sure, but it's a lot for 2 frigging wardrobes, on a game I'm already overpaying for compared to what I could get elsewhere.

I don't like the feeling of the game company monetizing non-cosmetic items, and I'm debating quitting, only thing keeping me around is my friends on the game.

I have no issue with people who play this game being upset about having to pay another $4 for the wardrobes. That's your opinion and it's perfectly valid.
What's annoying is all the people who don't even play screaming that SE is going to start selling kogas if this works. And you can tell they don't play cause why would anyone spend money on a koga? Since they don't play and this doesn't affect them, it makes me wonder what their agenda is for making up stories to get everyone worked up.
I think a lot of people who quit and still hang around this forum just want others to quit to validate their decision.

Actually, a lot of players in this thread that said "no thanks" to cash shop FFXI still plays, they just stopped posting ages ago as this discussion is currently going no where.

It seems no one has asked the question of what happens if you stop paying?

It seems it's tied to your monthly payment, so your game won't turn on

Probably locks you out of transferring anything to/from the deactivated wardrobe(s), so any items you put in there are basically held ransom until you pay again unless they add a moogle or something that lets you retrieve the items from an inactive storage box.

It would more than likely be exactly how your locker works with imperial bronze. Except this time the moogle will be asking for real money

Several people have asked, once every other page or so.

There is already a similiar system in the game involving you paying imperial currency. Also additional accounts loaded with gear also exist. In both cases you temporarily lose access to those inventories until you reactive or pay the imperial currency.

Honest question to the people saying that there's no indication that this is the beginning of a trend: Can you name one MMO that introduced a cash shop with gameplay enhancing items and stopped after the first batch of enhacemnts?

I have to first say that this first service only barely, if at all, makes XI a cash-shop game.

I'm not fond of cash shop games (probably obvious ._.) but that's because I've played them and have firsthand experience with the nickel and dime nature (or the dollar and five nature) and it has been a negative experience.

As I said before, if SE wants to sell a gold crab mount (or the yovra mount that I've only seen some player mention, I'll shake my head, laugh, and move on. But I really genuinely think this is different. Six months ago, I wouldn't have been worried about XI selling enhanced service, even though the state and population wasn't much better, but now that they've begun to do it (well, announced that they will), I am worried.

Maybe 6 months from now, you can all point and laugh at me and others in this thread and say we were wrong, or we can laugh (and cry) that the only double-exp method anymore is through a cash shop.

CP grind is one of the most ridiculously boring things in the game. I would be insulted if SE had a paid way around it *completely hypotheitically*.

Well, I have to say, based on the speed at which SE is adding additional pay-to-use options to the POL service we'll see the next addition added in about 14 more years.

In many other MMO's multiple characters are free, SE charges for them. They've been doing paid storage for over a decade now.

Isn't that how exactly posting here works out anyway. Make ppl post postraumatical threads/posts full off halucinating and doomsday talk? Then gang on ppl enjoying the game and calling them /White Knights/.
If not i must have missed the note.

Go dance at Lincolns Memorial and discuss with authoritys there if you so much into that kind of nonsense to valid your point how unfair the world and SE is to you.

I have yet to see an mmo made by those ppl posting the same ***over and over again here. If you can do it better, then do it.

And if you think all that is worth your time - go to Steam Forums and have fun with DEV teams there. If you think SE sucks - try some others for a while ;) I'll see you in a few months in 11 again tho.
My experience and PoV.


On the Token Topic, this was an unfair advantage also. When it was out there was no way in some countries to obtain that thing at all - or it had to be imported via Netherlands or the UK.
Then there also was the battery issue on that damn thing also wich made ppl back off to buy it.
Anyway - i knew andknow alot of ppl that never got a way to even buy that token and never had a satchel and that was at a time where when you had 4 jobs main'ed you been sitting on maybe 5 free inventory slots - while others run around bragging how cool token is, said ppl went emo and called it an unfair advantage - years later the Token is confirmed as a fair way of buisness ...
Dude i just dont lol after 6 months i lol after every new patch/update/tweak they do when i come here and read posts.

***is still far from DAED GAIME. And coming here reading trolls news allways made my day.


You get an addition service offered, they decided you have to pay dollahz this time. Nothing to get upset about. Move on.
