Since FFXI is a paid servers unlike FFXIV do we get a free month?

Since we are actually paying for FFXI it seems like its unfair to be charged for March if the game is going to be down for an extended period of time a week or more.

I don't even have an option to cancel my account since Play Online is down.

They posted on the main playonline site that they are giving the month of April for free.

Ah didn't see that thanks for the info.

Take a closer look at the announcements. The twitter thread says there's no charge for April.

It will most likely stay down for a month or two, or least that's what I think, and if it runs over to the next billing cycle I'm sure they won't charge for that either.

They can't do March because we had our accounts active during March, and will be billed for that when it is due.

They bill in advance. We've all all paid for March already.

yeah, they bill us on the first of the month, that's why on the first you always get that check fee's notice when you log in. Tho i can understand that being confused with the last day of the month easily.

I think you might be right there. As long as it takes is fine with me, I notice that the admins are still here as threads have started to be locked (they should really be canned altogether) so I'm sure we'll be kept up to date on the situation.

Not all of us paid for March already. I de-activated my Content IDs at the end of February, thinking I was going to take a break but decided not to. Then re-activated them on March 1st during Registration Server maintenance even though SE claims you cannot during that time, which obviously you can. My charge for March will come next month.
