The open beta is the only trial people will get for at least a month, probably more than that. So I'll take that freebie.

^ This, this is the scourge of game development, this is why games like AoC got released seemingly "half-done"

So I should buy it without deciding whether or not I actually like it?

I'll pass. Got burned enough on FF11.

Thats what the trial is for after release, which will be active within a few months of the game going live. Then again, it took them a reallllllly long time to get one active for FFXI.

And true enough, for a lot of people-FFXI just wasn't for them. It was a pretty rigid game, with quite the learning curve.

Wasn't the gameplay that ticked me off that much.

I bought it the same time as a friend did expecting to be able to play with him, only wait, you can't pick a server and you only get one character unless you pay extra per char!

WTF. That was the most retarded thing I'd ever seen in MMO land, and still is.

If they haven't fixed that for FF14 there's no chance I'd buy it.

The pricetag per character is still the same. The good thing is, PoL is finally gone.

And yes, you can pick the server you want, i'm not sure what you mean about you couldn't in FFXI, after you finish creating the character you want, it lets you pick what server you want to be on.

Though admittedly, they hid the option of being able to pick any server pretty well at first.

They must've changed it after I quit playing. They had the 'have your friend pay after playing for at least an hour to give you a join code' system when I was playing. Retarded.

I doubt I'll buy it. I like having more than one char and I'm not gonna pay extra for the 'privilege.'
