  • One extra free month!

    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:
    ・Version Updates Coming Soon! (10/15/2010)

      No extension for SE customers? Kinda cheesy, IMO. They are suffering through the same crap the CE players are. On top of that, they are the most likely to leave prematurely. S-E continues to make very questionable decisions.

        I'll take this. Because of this, I will stick around another month and see how things go. I was going to suspend my account and then wait until March and try again.

          overall it's a good move, mew. it gives S-E an extra month to try to get those updates released so it improves stuff and convince people it's getting better.

            Same here TGM. I hope this major overhauling of crystals they have in the works turns out to make crafting less stressful. My biggest problem continues to be a severe lack of shards and crystals (particularly fire & lightning) as opposed to raw material.

                  Well I'm glad for this ... this is as close to a formal apology you'll get from SE and I'll take anything I can get at this point. It shows that they have acknowledged the problems, have felt the sting of public humiliation and are working hard to try to improve the situation.

                  I paid for my crystas, though, so it's not like this would've made me stay or leave, but it does put a smile on my face. Thanks for this news Etra.

                    I read the entirety. I just had my months mixed up. I was thinking Sept 25 which would not include SE players. My mistake.

                        Beta 2.0 go!

                        At least they are getting the message and doing what they can to prevent people from uninstalling the game. Otherwise it would've probably been Game Over for them come the first paid month.




                        Though people have already paid to get in the current Beta testing phase.

                          So now you're only paying an exorbitant sum for beta keys, the subscription is free! Assuming the game is better than a beta before December that is.

                            That's like SE giving a free extra dose of the "brown acid".
