As the title says, it seems to be in order that players are given some free playtime as they are forced to stay on Dynamis (maybe other data centers outside of NA, I don't know what it's like in EU) and as such are unable to do anything they -pay- to be able to do. I personally feel like a mistreated customer who has wasted their money on a dishonest and uncaring company. Raiders, RPers, entire communities based on social gatherings, small groups of friends etc have all been put through hell without good reason, without warning, and without a fair opportunity to be where they want to be playing, alongside those they wish to play with. This entire situation and every bit of damage done is solely because of square enix making bad decisions and much-less-than ideal execution of these bad decisions.

The way I see it: Give us free playtime to compensate for the amount of time you've kept us locked up, and more playtime for every day the restrictions stay in place, or

Unlock all servers for one week and give everybody a free homeworld transfer to wherever they want to play. Then, restrict it however you want (within reason).

Players are dropping the game, making the effects of your mistake even worse. People are not happy. You're losing subscriptions and gaining an even worse reputation. Show us that you respect and care about the customers that print you billions of dollars, like any company worth supporting would do. It's long overdue.

If you're a player who doesn't see a problem, because you're all cozy where you are, I'm happy for you. Keep scrolling please. o/
