So 1.0 owners have to start paying the monthly fee immediately?

[Abriael]

So far the official word is: "FFXIV:ARR includes 30 free days of playtime with purchase for new accounts. However, even though players who own FFXIV Version 1.0 will receive FFXIV:ARR for free, this does not include the 30 free days of play."

Anything else is *cough* unofficial until they post it here or on the Lodestone.

You mean like this document, that was posted on the lodestone?

Limited is what it says not 30 days so that could be any amount of time No?

It clearly specifies a start timeframe and an end timeframe.

Exactly. They are inventing promises that never existed.

Only, he completely misinterpreted the document. According to his skewed interpretation, the "free trial" was a trial of 1.0, which obviously wasn't the case.
