    Rewards to players for each month they subscribe rather than charging extra money on top of the sub fee for cool things.
    you know, when I saw this. I think it look very brilliant

    now they only hav to release super cool reward every 90 day
    here my opinion about this

    sub base game : 30day reward - "ummm" // 60day reward - "cool" // 90day reward - "DAMN it look cool i want it now *sub for 90 day*"
    free to play game : here the cosmetic item for this month 5$ // next mount 10$ // super cool cosmetic item/mount 15$ *choose 1-2 from list maybe

    what i saw is that "this reward system" look very promising i feel like it can keep sub base game longer before free to play take over
    "if you dont like it, dont play the game! I love the way this game is 100% and nothing should be changed, because beta's aren't meant to improve a game. I will defend this games honor with my life and will refuse that anything bad be said about things that could be improved!"

    - The FFXIV Community. (and some of "legacy" player)

    Open beta characters will not be wiped unless there's a game-breaking bug, so you should be able to reserve names there.

    Apply for beta on the 17th and make your character during it?

    I thought "open beta" wasn't really open? What's the link to sign up for it? I'll do it tonight.

    Considering only the combination of the first and last name has to be unique, you'd quite frankly have to be pretty uncreative to have it taken by someone else.

    Its a cool reward system but I dont think the game is gunna go free to play..ever. Produced entierly by square enix they do not have to worry about makeing money back in a hurry to pay off other co producers and studios and I am prefectly fine with the game staying pay to play, itll keep that free to play trash out of the game. =)

    Didn't even know there were last names. I guess that answers that.

    Does anyone have a link to available servers at launch? I'm looking for the best server for East Coast and I think I'm leaning toward a fresh server without legacy players on it who are already end game. I just want to let friends know so we can all just jump in game when open beta comes instead of phoning everyone and making things difficult lol.

    Don't know about the "official" list, assuming there is one (the official websites are a mess), but this fansite forum has them:
    http://forum.xivnation.com/index.php...th-america.72/

    All North American servers are located in Montreal.

    white mage looking for guild! <3


    but.. UGH.. Anyone have hella stupid trouble with square customer support? phone AND email...

    I had 1.0 on a diff account that I had FF11.. I merged them together.. and now when I log in, I don't get any record of 1.0 OR ff11 on my account.. so frustrating... I'll probably lose my legacy over all this and end up having to make a new account all over again...

    So I was on vacation during the Phase three beta, but still managed to sign up my beta key on the website without actually playing the beta itself. Do I still qualify for the early 4th phase beta or do I need to wait until the 17th?

    Maxing all jobs, classes, professions.. will take some hardcore dedication.. (much like it did in FFXI)...

    Easily forget about wow when this game drops.
