Falcon day today....

and a lot of ticked off players who thought they qualified with their recurring sub.

that would clear up things for a lot of people. because it's the not knowing that is worrying a lot of us.

I asked if I'm eligible since I have a 30 day sub and received 15 days free game time when I hit level 30 on a select server. My sub started June 20th. My sub renews again on Oct 3rd. This is the response I got today.

Please note the Flight of the Falcon Campaign started on July 1, 2017 and ends on September 30, 2017. Game time purchased outside of the campaign period may not meet the requirements for the Campaign. If you have remaining subscription time that was purchased before the campaign period, or you have an active recurring subscription, we will calculate any remaining game time available as of Saturday, July 1, towards the campaign.

The requirements for the campaign is the registration of Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood and the purchase of a subscription of at least 90 days during the campaign.

Typical paste response which fails to answer my question.

You'll have approximately 80 days of game time counting towards the 90 day requirement before the deadline hits. You'll have to add in additional game time via time card if you want the mount.

Like Dusty said. You need to have reached 90 days between the two designated windows. The event ignores any prior sub time. Say you subbed for three months in June. It would only counts July through to August, making you ineligible for the September giveaway. When you renew that sub, it'll include September, thus making you eligible for the October giveaway.

I understand what you are saying but by that logic no one would be able reach 90 by the end of Aug unless they renewed for 90 days by the end of May. I renewed for 180 days in the middle of April. BTW my current subscription reached the 90 day mark by 10 Jul 2017. Going by that thinking no one should have qualified for the Sept release. I am sure that SE can justify it somehow but this is just another example of the lack of thought put into this by SE.
