So true. I'm mainly on this forum for the epic "wE neEdz da 75 cAp s3rv0rz" threads/posts.

Hmmm. Got excited when I saw this, but it seems there is no relation to free-to-play.

Not really sure why bg-wiki.com's main page is advertising this without an announcement I can find, but I'm guessing it's like Japanese FFXI Twitter or some recent streaming JP-only Q&A or something and will be in the "news" section of this site soon enough. Pity I resubbed at the first of the month, but wanted the cool Iron Giant mount.



Can't wait to see the returning players complain that full 2,100 JP leech used to be 8m and now it's a 500 JP leech for 8m.

Bad memes. Actually they aren't even memes really. They are more images telling a story. Bad 3 panel story:

Considering they release these every 2-3 months, and the 'rewards for paying players' are often not all too valuable, and as a casual player who sometimes only plays once a week.... I wonder if it is even worth paying the sub.

Paying money into something you care about is a purely selfish act, you aren't doing it for their benefit. You're doing it so the game is there when you do want to play it.

At the end of the day, these welcome home campaigns are run to bring people back. They do work, one brought me back 5-6 years ago and I've been subbed ever since.

They should change one thing though. The CP/Exp bonus event should not be linked to the play-for-free campaign.

Friday, December 17, 2021, at 12:00 a.m. (PST) to Wednesday, January 5, 2022, at the same hour.

That's 19 days. That's pretty generous. I was expecting it to end on the 27th.

Sorry for the bump, but this is official announcement and not speculation.

Someone probably told them that in certain parts of the world, people travel for a holiday around that time.

If you have one character activated and paid for do all of your other characters that lapsed inactive become able to be played when its free to play or do you have to be an entirely unsubscribed person?

Looks like no early discounts yet, sadly. I didn't expect there to be, but checked anyway.

Sometimes it takes a bit for all accounts to have their... for lack of a better term... "switch flipped on" for free to play. Try again every few hours through today and tomorrow. If nothing happens by the end of the day tomorrow, post on here again.

I have thoughts as to why, but don't want to write them up if F2P just went live and not every inactive account is flipped to free mode yet.

It's honestly not too bad. I think the biggest issue back in the day was internet more than anything, and maybe the fact that I'm remembering the PS2 updates/installs. Either way, I was updated and ready to go in about 15 minutes when I reinstalled.

Awesome. Downloading the game from the website now!
