They should go back to what 1.0 did and not charge anyone for the game till they get everything in working order. It's a bit of an embarrassment that a lot of people simply havent been able to play yet at all.

I could care less about 2-3 free days. They're asking us to basicly pay money for a game right now when 60% of the time you are unable to even login to your own character, let alone the new people having only 4 Servers on the JP list left that they can make characters on. If not less by now.
