FFXIV Free Trial Period Extension

An additional 30 days of free play!

Lots of good news coming at us from The Lodestone this morning, next up is an announcement regarding a 30-day extension of the free trial! All users who registered a service account and purchased a character by October 25 will be eligible.

Read on for details or discuss in the ZAM Final Fantasy XIV Forums.

First of all, we would like to thank you for joining us in the realm of Eorzea, and hope you are enjoying your adventures.

Since the official launch of service on September 30, 2010, we have received a wealth of constructive feedback from the FINAL FANTASY XIV community, and the development and management teams would like to take this opportunity to express their sincerest gratitude. For those who purchased the collector’s edition and began to play one week before official service began, the month-long free play period is drawing to a close. Considering the nature of much of the feedback we received, however, and the current state of the game, we have decided to extend the free trial period for all users. Please continue reading for further details.

We would like to assure players that the world of FINAL FANTASY XIV is constantly growing and evolving, and the voices of the community are essential to that process. The development and management teams are carefully considering all player feedback, and working diligently to implement whatever changes and additions will serve to make Eorzea a better home for adventurers. We humbly ask for your continued support to this end.

Today, we have released information regarding forthcoming version updates. For further details, please view the following Lodestone Topics:

Definitely needed, I suggested they do this last week on FFXIV core (http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/24838-bridge-the-gap-between-haters-and-fanbois/) was rather shocked to actually see them do it.

Amazing.

Hopefully they can turn it around before the next pay period.
They admitted it!
