I'm out at the moment... off to bed after this episode of Criminal Minds.

Not at work on Friday, so GET SOME.

Also, MOTHERFUCKING WEEKEND, NIGLETS.

Is this fun?

Let's do a little maths.

I hate MMOs.

I've played some F2P ones, and I even gave FFXI a spin at a friends house.

It was alright, but didn't get me - the biggest FFfag in the world - interested.

FFXIV?

I preordered the collectors edition and am fine with paying a monthly fee for this.

Go figure.

Also, OFFICIAL UUDD FFXIV:ARR THREAD.

How much is the monthly?

£6 basic (1 character per world, max 8 worlds) or £7 for 8 chars per world, max 8 worlds.

Which is how much in MERICAN?

Slight miscalculation.

I'll be lumping for the £7.69 package.

$12.99 for the introductory month, $14.99 after that. buy 6 months at a time for the discount price of $12.99 per month.

No, sir. Not quite. Check the official link.

$12.99 gets you 1 character per world, with a maximum of 8 characters for 30 days.

$14.99 gets you 8 characters per world, with a maximum number of 40 characters for 30 days.

Buy the $14.99 sub, but buy 3 lots in one go, and pay only $13.99 x 3.

Buy the $14.99 sub, but buy 6 lots in one go, and pay only $12.99 x 6.

membership tiers

entry and standard. entry to me means first month. I could be wrong though.

Check the tables again. There's a difference between "entry" and "standard" in terms of characters per world.

I know, I saw that the first time. Still doesn't mean entry can be forever

First paragraph.

I'd be happy to put money on it meaning "Entry-level membership", "Standard membership", etc.

But hey, game be too much fun to be worrying about that right now.

Confirmed.

Those figures are monthly figures, with Entry and Standard referring to the level of membership respectively, and not first fee followed by regular fee.

Because I just confirmed my subscription and set it to auto-renew, which it will do on 28th Sept.
