Hi,

According to this event, I thought I can log into my account but I cannot get past the character selection screen. On the lower right hand corner, it shows my 0 Days Remaining on Subscription. Looked around mog station and did not see any option for the event neither. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Heo

Nevermind, figured it out. ^_^

If you have 0 days left on your subscription, it kind of means... you can no longer play the game because you haven't paid for the next month(s).

And the email about this campaign was sent an hour ago! What the hell Square Enix? All the free weekend campaigns had timely emails about them and the one time there's a longer one you wait until there is just a weekend left?

Yeah, I was just lucky I happened to randomly read about the promotional free week on a gaming site, so I knew ahead of time. I don't think I ever got an e-mail from Square Enix about it. Kind of defeats the purpose of the whole thing if you don't tell people, doesn't it?

It seems many people didnt get the email on time.
