Was FFXIV Ever Free For A Month?

Besides the beta, extended beta, the free weekend that just passed and the now 2-week free trail. Was FFXIV in its entirety ever free for a month?

IIRC the first month after you purchase the game is free.

2 weeks for returning players from 1.0, 1 free month for a game bought ( so you don't have it as a returning player )

And there was a free week as a 'We're sorry' for the hang-ups during the first week of retail. This game has had it's fair share of free time.

If I remember correctly I think last September was free, it was within my free 30 days but I think server congestion was so bad it was free for everyone who paid in August.

As Gilraen said, there was a free week to compensate server problems.

You get a free month for purchasing a game and you also get a free month if you buy and register a game for a different platform.

Subscription started at january 2012 and it was only until end of september. Even while the servers were online until december, there was no way to reactivate an account that went inactive before end of september.
