#FFXIV TO GO FTP FOR FREE#
One it allows you to easily only have to sell one version of the game(not including collector's editions or things of a similar vain) and Two gives players doing older content a wider pool of players to draw from for Group Content and gives an incentive for Free To Play players to continue playing and stay invested in the game. Make it where Free To Play players have Access up to the 2nd newest expansion(Explanation: Once EW releases it would make SB FTP and then for the expansion after EW SHB would be FTP) There are 2 reasons for doing this.
#FFXIV TO GO FTP INSTALL#
Just create a FFXIV Account and download the Launcher Install and Play. No jumping through hoops in order to get it working. So I would make it where whenever a new service account is created it is put under "Free To Play" status which gives it access to any Free To Play content available at that time and you can just use the normal launcher with these.
#FFXIV TO GO FTP TRIAL#
Since from what I remember in order to sign up for Free Trial you have to go to the FFXIV Free Trial page sign up specifically from there for a FFXIV Account and then install a special installer which doesn't have you entering in your product key or signing into a standard account. The other reasoning is to make it simpler for players to get setup with the Free Trial and to start playing the game. Since if they were sour since they found out the Free Trial has the same exact content at no monthly cost they likely decided against continuing the game if they were going to have to pay a sub and since they got emotionally invested in their character they're not likely to be willing to start a new character on a Free Trial Account. The reasoning behind this change is to make it where the players who ended up paying for the starter edition and left once their month is over can come back on the characters that they've already built progress on and maybe even started to get emotionally invested in. Turn all Starter Edition Accounts(Or just accounts that don't own the expansions up through the 2nd newest expansion) into "FTP Accounts" and have this be the default state for a service account. On top of souring the players who ended up buying it it also makes the buying process of the game more complicated since this is an extra version which people will then have to read the description of to find what it includes and makes it where players have to pay for the content they've played through after they are done in order to be able to play the new expansions.
The reason why this needs to be done currently it sours the mood of the people who bought it when they found out they have the same content as the free trial players but have to pay for a sub which can lead to them quitting the game. Remove the starter edition from the game.
#FFXIV TO GO FTP UPGRADE#
Help retain the Free To Play players who don't plan on upgrading whether it's due lack of wanting to upgrade or being able to upgrade since they will be the people primarily playing the older content. Make the game more enticing for players who haven't played since HW or SB to try again Make it very easy for anyone to purchase everything they need to have access to the most current content without having to look at version descriptions So I honestly think that I have a very good idea on what can be done to fix this.įirst what are the goals for what I'd like to do? With streamers like Asmongold to everyday Joe Schmoes having this issue. Currently one of the biggest things holding back some people from playing FFXIV is actually just trying to buy the game.
