I wish subscription MMOs had a client-side-only room/space you could log into, or some other kind of limited-but-still-actually-in-game access (a bit like SWTOR w/ Free/Preferred/Subbed), so I could at least play with the look of a character, or think about my keybindings while they're in front of me, or something.
This is a gripe-chost about not being able to load up FFXIV unsubbed and get in game to fiddle with mods, now that I've learned there's, uh, a far greater range of options than just rehades or 'nicer quality textures than the game actually has'.
(I also have like 100gb of ffxiv texture mods that I very much want to sort through, b/c I'm damn sure there's duplicates, and once done I can delete the zips and claw back like 60%+ of that space...)
