MMOs in general, and FF11 in particular - do subscriptions get on anyones nerves?

Ok 3 months isnt so bad.

[Mirage]

I think keeping the account for only 3 months is bad. Anyway, I think they extended it to 6 months now, but I really think they should keep it alive for like a year.

I've heard stories that some people have come back after a year and found their character still there.

Remember though, never cancel your PlayOnline ID, only your Content ID. The Content ID is the one that gets charged monthly, and holds the character.

i have just got my playonline back and haven't yet checked on my character, but i know that i was being charged for it

[Rostum]

Because you didn't cancel your Content ID?

[charles55021]

yea i had to reformat my computer because of a virus and i had my id and password on a mail account that was closed down

never buy WoW no matter what.


Hardcore = FFXI

Casual = anything but WoW.

[Lionx]

They keep it up to 1 year now o.o

when I quit FFXI in July 2004 I had no plans to ever returning to FFXI so didnt care if my char was gone after 3 months.

However in July 2005 Square-Enix had this Return to game promotion, where i found out that my character hadnt been deleated yet. I happened to be without an MMO at the time having quit Matrix Online in June 2005 after only 3 months in that game.

When i Came back to FFXI not only did i keep all my Levels and Rank that i had gotten before quitting, When i checked my Mog House I still had a Stack of Beastman Seals and My Old Linkshell Pearls which had since been Broken and Disbanded.

Guild Wars the way its designed is not an MMORPG, its more a glorified Diablo II kinda thing from what i see.

pah.... you and your pre-judgement.....

pah.... you and your pre-judgement.....

Yeah, but the truth is that Guild Wars isn't a full on MMORPG. I still think it's a good game. =)
