$12.95 per month and an extra $1.00 for every extra character you create.

But seriously though, a simple and painless research should already tell you all the basic information. C'mon man.

Does any one else think that is a massive rip-off. I really want the game but can't really afford the monthly cost.

I don't know about you but in my opinion, it is not a rip-off at all. Think about it for a bit. Squeenix have to maintain the servers everyday so that everyone can have a lagless playtime and maybe you didn't know, but there are around 20 servers total. They also have to keep fixing the game whenever a problem arrives so less people will bitch to them about it. Besides that, there are GMs Squeenix have to pay so they can deal with whiny players who complain about meaningless crap. Then there are expansions and the monthly updates so they can add new stuff for the higher level and low level people to mess around with.

As you can see, that's a lot of money needed in order to make everyone happy. It is only a price of 3-4 lunches. When looking at the world now and if you live in an average family, that's hardly anything.

Besides, you only need one character to enjoy the whole game. The extra characters, as used by many people, are only for the extra room for extra equipments and items. Look at my signature. That's my main character and I have that many jobs leveled. Only one character.

EDIT: I just felt the need to correct myself that there are no monthy updates, rather it is a bi-monthly updates.
