"Considering that we are asking players to wait in queues for extremely long periods of time and the ongoing situation making it difficult to play normally, we have decided that during the official release of Endwalker on December 7, we will be granting 7 days of free game time to all players who own the full version of the game and have an active subscription.

So, looks like they can't fix the issues so instead are granting compensation, which is just about all they can do at this point, TBH I still believe Square E is entirely at fault here selling far more early access's to the game than they can possibly handle I can only presume it is still yet only going to get worse once the "official" launch starts in a few days.

I feel extremely sorry for Yoshi and his team I'm sure they are receiving the most flack for the situation, but they only develop and make the game, they DONT sell l it, the monetary side is entirely Squares
I feel for the team, and I thank them for the kind gesture of an extra week of game play on their dime. I appreciate it and the information they have shared. it has confirmed my thoughts on this and I stand by what I have said. Those that have missed time away from work, well i'm sorry that has happened but there are times that you should realize there will be hiccups in the process when such an anticipated expansion. as has happened time and time again in may different mmo's.

You really think this mockery can be tolerated?
And we experience this crap for DAYS now!
Don't know the heck I even paid for this freaking login queue ultimate raid.
This is not okay, no semiconductor whatever shortage can justify this, no login server limits can justify this either. Fix your architecture or don't release if you cannot guarantee the stability of your crap.
No quality content can justify this mockery.
I'm sorry you feel that way... you can't fix login limits or internet bad packets, this can come from anywhere and login limits (queue limits) are designed to protect the sever from crashing, which would impact how ever many that are in the game and cause instability, loss of progress and items due to a server instability.
