How SE thanks its current player base

[Taei]

Celebrate 4mill users by playing with people that didn't want to pay for the game and will clog the servers for a week!

How about something nice for people that subscribe instead?

Seriously, If I could I would give you two likes for this answer.

I understand the point he is saying. As a business SE does need to run promotions to get players to come back. However, a full week of free sub is NOT THE WAY.

1. Golden Saucer is already super congested and will only get worse, us on Gilga and Ragn will suffer dearly.

2. If the people quit before... this isn't going to suddenly bring them back. Maybe you'll get a dozen triple triad fanatics, but odds are they already re-subbed once they heard Golden Saucer was coming.

3. If they want to do "free login weekend" there should be a free log-in server or close off the servers with crazy high populations from this promotion.

4. Actually make free login weekend only a weekend.

Oh look Balmung is whining about large populations again. Cry harder... please

It's only a weekend, not a full week.

2 weekends and the days between

Also only people who have already a character on Balmung would play during the free week on Balmung

2/27 - 3/9 is more than a week, actually.

I haven't really had many congestion or queue issues at all, so I am perfectly fine with this decision. I'm really glad to hear about the 4 million registered accounts!

I'm on Gilgamesh, getting into the gold saucer can be annoying, but not that hard or long of a wait. I normally sit there and try to port in every minute, I'm usually in within five minutes, never longer. Sometimes I have a queue when I log into gilga, but it's the same ordeal as the gold saucer queue, doesn't take too long to get it.

I've played mmos that have like 5-10 hour queues on certain instances, so it could be so much worse.
