Honestly super impressive. A whole week of free play time, and also clarifying what the errors mean.

Also, big oof, 10 to 12 hours of congestion for NA/EU. Hopefully the measure they can take to at least prolong the queue session will help a little bit, but obviously there's only so much they can do with a packed login server.

They most likely will be giving out more free play time or items during this time till que times are made better or they get more servers up and running once they can get a hold of the servers to install

It’s good they done it, but I do hope they give more. Since launch I have been able to log in once. Going by queue times, I won’t be able to again for the next few days.

What really infuriates me though was tonight finally being able to get in and being greeted by an army of AFK people in Limsa. They need to do something about those assholes.

If this Carries on for the next few weeks I won’t be able to justify the sub. I don’t have a spare two hours a night to queue for a game.

Ugh people finding ways around the AFK timer, yet I get kicked being away for 10-15 minutes.

No point in free time compensation if you can't even play the game
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's why they're giving it to you, to make up for the expected 7 days of not being able to play. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I get additional 7 days of sitting in queue for free! Thank you SE!

I mean, I've been playing off and on all day with very reasonable queues.. but if that's how you want to spend the 7 days, go for it?

That was obviously a sarcasm.
I would love to spend this time playing the game, but so far I've been sitting in login queues for longer time than I was playing.
