Ok, i know this sounds dumb but if i bought the PC version would someone pay my monthly fee for the first month i have to pay for? I cant afford it. Im guessing nobody will but i thought id ask anyway.

Why waste time man...? You cant pay a monthly fee? If you worked 2 hours a week, you just payed off FFXI for one month.

I guess everyone has their reasons, best of luck to you in your "Pay for me" adventure.:rolleyes:

Yet another indicator of what is to come when this game hits NA shores.

dood no offense but any joe can find enough quarters on the ground within a a months time to cover at least half if not all of the fee. On top of that - how can anyone have a computer that fit the rediculous spec requirements of a game like XI and not be able to fork out 10 bucks - sorry i went off on you - im really not a mean guy heh but i dun see need to try and have someone else pay for your bill.

don't rag on the guy, he's probably 12, would play it on his parents computer, but doesn't even get an allowance, poor guy. Well, here's what you do, you just rifle through mom's purse once a week, grab a couple bucks and some change and hide it in a jar somewhere lol.

Sigh . . . I can't believe that some people are desperate enough to resort to begging for cash to play a video game. I'm sorry if this may sound kind of harsh, but there are more respectable ways to earn money than asking people like a job.

Get a paper round man, one week is enough 2 pay the monthly fee.

If you are 12, then you can't get a job unless it's a paper route, and that just depends if you parents let you and if you live in a crap neighborhood you should probably just stay at home.

im not 12, but i am short on money and without a job. college life isnt easy. i figure that i really want to play this game but cant afford to because of gas for getting to school and my girlfriend, plus a guys gotta eat. the only way i could afford it is to get the game from ebay cause its cheaper, and that would set me back on my spending money, so it would help if people could donate a buck or two. its not much for just one person plus if lots of people do it ill have enough in no time. yeah i guess you could call me a beggar, or you call me reliant on the videogame community that i am a part of. this game does promote a community atmosphere after all. if anyone wants to donate to me through paypal or send me some change or a dollar or something just PM me, it would be much appreciated, plus ingame i can give you stuff and a percentage of my gil as appreciation. Thanks just for even reading this!

dude it's just 10 friggin' bucks! how desperate must you be to BRAG on a public forum? you know no one's gonna loan you the money. Just ask your parents, or your girlfriend or your best friend. And even though you are a college student, you must be able to save 10 friggin' bucks in a whole month...just save about 30 to 40 cents a day and viola, you've got the monthly fee...

"collage doesnt mean u cant get a job im 14 and got a job how hard is it...."

CollEge is a lot different than whatever school your in (middle or high school) It depends how many units this guy is taking, if hes taking 12, then get a job you lazy bum, but if hes taking 18 or more, i can understand not having a job. But anyways, im not defending him, i think its lame to ask people on the boards for money, atleast beg your real life friends for some cash. That would be a lot easier.

Ha! I'm taking 20 units and I have a job. Many other full time students I know have part time work out of necessity, including some young parents. If he really needed money that badly, he'd be able to squeeze in part time work. I don't even think this is a serious request, this is just some lame guy with time to waste, figured he might as well see if his little story could generate some pity. :sweat: If it is a serious request, then he's seriously lazy...

Yeah i know its lame beggin on a message board for money, but i do what i gotta do. im taking alot of classes right now and i figure i can use my spare time doing one of two things, either i can get a job (which around here is actually quite hard) and make the money to play the game, but have no actual time to play it. Or i can throw what little dignity i have left out the window and beg. Ive done worse for money. Ive always done pranks and dumb junk for money, but now its not so easy so this is what ive resorted to. Flame me if you must, i would probally flame someone too if they were begging for money to play a videogame. And to the few people that have PMed me about giving me a few bucks, Thanks so much!! Youve been a real help, ive almost got enough for the game itself. Well actaully ive got alot to go, but it still helps! And if anyone still wants to donate and help out a poor fellow gamer such as myself, or own a gil and item slave on the game, just PM or Email me! Thanks so much!

#1 Solution dump the girl that'll easily save you money:spin:

On another note you could you could do beer runs and charge more so you have some left overs for yourself... Or you could charge people for you to clean their rooms that'll easily make you 10 bucks... There is a TON of way to make easy money... even in non illegal ways

i hope your not using college as an exuse. i dont know your exact situation but being 19age i have full tme job 32+ hours a week, full time college student 12 credit hours, and bills ala dsl, car insurance, gas money, phonebill, and anything extra i might need like gams and cloths and stuff. and for some reason despite going to malls and movies with friends almost every week, i fnd time to play ffxi and pay for it....

no im not bragging but college inst a real excuse. you can cut back on your spending money of other things and put alittle aside each mothn to cover the montly bill. but as far as ordering it which will run you 80+ almost, i think about that part time job alittle more. i know you might not have time to play it OFTEN but you will be playing it ^^. some people only paly once a week that i know of. so give the part time job a chance and who knows.. ^_^

you would walk, carpool, get a more efficient car, ride a bike, public transportation (bus, taxi, subway, etc)... then after that, sell your car.
and my girlfriend
you could always dump her ass :p
nah thats extreme, nothing much i can help you there on...unless she's into gaming too. then have her help out, split the costs or something
plus a guys gotta eat.
you can get Ramen Noodles for 10 cents a package. 3 times a day makes all 3 meals 30 cents; times 7 days a week makes $2.10. a full week of food for hardly over $2. hey, it may not be fun but if you want it bad enough you have to make some sacrifices.


there ya go. suffer a little now for a lot of pleasure in the future :thumbsup: that should leave you with plenty of $$$ :)

ACK! Not ramen! I eat that stuff enough the way it is. And acutally you cant eat that for a week straight since there is nothing good for you in it, except a lot of sodium which after eating just that (and enough to get full on the meals so i dont whither away {2 each meal]) it will just harm me in the long run.

The reason im asking for money is so i can get them game that i REALLY want! I want it enough to BEG! Thats how bad it is, and i figured that the only people i could turn to would be on this board, but no, ive been abandoned! There are a few of you that love me and that wouldnt let me fry, or at least not MOCK me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Also about working full time and college and all that, your nuts! How can you pull that off and still have a life!? Im not making fun of you or nothing, im actually commending you for it, its something i just couldnt do.

And yes, Im lazy. Arent we all? Why else would we be spending time looking at a message board for a videogame that isnt even out in thiscountry, lazy or nerd, and im going for lazy. (or both)

So please, send all the donations information to me through this boards PM service, or email me at bitchnuts_vontrap@yahoo.com

Thanks again!

You know, thats a very poor excuse.. If you were 12, I'd understand it, but you're in college for gods sake. You can be responsible enough to come up with 10 dollars a month. I take it your parents are paying 100% of your college? If they're not, sorry, but its just the impression that I get after reading your posts.

I go to college 18 hours/week and work a part time job...and yes, I still have a life.

I am now a college student, and I dont see any point to be an execuse. I play the game, I pay the fee, and I'm a international student(which mean I pay more tuitioin fee than state resident).

But just same as other ppl advise, walk to college. Or save money from your food expense. I usually having two(or one) meals a day only. Which a meal cost about 4-6 dollars, and i can save about 30 dollars a week for my gaming expense.

If you want to beg for money, go to GameFAQs. Please don't do that here, you will not recieve any.

That's just the way it's going to be.
