Free days coming!

You read that right, SE is conscious of their shortcomings and will compensate us for this:

Guess it will come to English through Reinheart or the official translation soon enough.

Yoshi is great, and this was to be expected.

Oh, and also, 218k people playing at the same time is really wonderful, and this is looking like the trend is of growth!

Edit: Reinhart wins the translation race! (like always):

Lol.

I wasn't surprised by the fact that they'll give us free days. That's historically what SE does when something goes bad, but I'm glad to see they're not stopping the tradition :D

Lets celebrate getting back the number of days we couldn't play the game we paid for! This is the most basic of customer service. We still are dog excrement on the bottom of their shoe compared to their precious Japanese servers.

Article calls "AFK kick" a placebo solution :D

Good deal.. I was watching my 15 free days go sliding by and haven't been able to get into the game once except for the very first day when I resurrected my character. But by the time I got past the cool intro I had to log out for work. I'm happy to know I will still get my chance to try out the revamp to the game before I commit to it.

FFXI had auto-disconnect. Most of them might have been AFK! Heehee. I'm glad that Yoshi took the time to write a response. I appreciate how hard he is trying to make this game work.

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth and I am happy that we are getting free days, I am disheartened though that now I have to wait how ever many more "several" days added to the already 33 free days before I can get my subscription up. Lol I know 1st world problems :)

Login issues are getting better. I am almost positive there were more people online last night than I have ever seen in the game. All the cities/outposts were PACKED. This game is fantastic. The only issue was not being able to play it. Glad to see it being remedied so quickly. Well done Yoshi!

gee... idk im still unable to play... just 2 haours and its at 6 am to 7 if lucky to 8... then im booted and then its says that i cant get in cuss my character its logged.... soo i hope those days are big in numbers.. cuss. i dint enjoyed the preorder days... and im not enjoying when i got the game... i did enjoyed the beta...
