It's 12:06am in my timezone, and the expiry date on the FFXIV services still say aug 23. The game is also still unavailable from the PS store. However, the date may be based on PDT. All I can really do is get up in the morning and see if there's any good news. If not, oh well. Really sucks I took a vacation day on Monday to get some extra play time in. SE/Sony has no way to pay that back to me.

Thanks for jack shit by the way SE. Nice communication skills.
