Upcoming Billing Procedure question

[Dargoth_Draconia]

If the listed “End Date” is after September 30, 2012 (Including a free trial period)
You will be able to play for free until services for the current FINAL FANTASY XIV end.

What if ours say "To be cancelled" but the end date is say Oct. 8, do we still get to play for free in Oct.? Or do we need to reactivate it so it says "Continuous"?

i think yes it will be f2p for the players that can play after september 30 ,even if your account is cancelled .

There's a step by step guide on the page, I don't see how you could have an end date on Oct 8 because that would mean you renewed last on September 7th/8th, which means your account would not be cancelled unless you requested it to be.

Or am I misunderstanding?

Well it said Next Estimated Date of Billing Oct. 2, 2012 for me. Don't say end date anywhere.

Click on "List Options that renew automatically", just like the guide says.

If I were you I would set up automatic billing to be safe. If for some reason it would cancel on Oct. 8th then when you try to reactivate the system will say they are not allowing that at this time.

for those that end date is before Sept 29th is best to have it automatic billing with sufficient credits/crysta to avoid unable to play the small f2p period that they have given.

The below didnt take the above link into consideration. Thanks to Lololink.

I am pretty sure october is not a free to play month.

The F2P speech in Yoshida's post DIRECTLY followed after talking about reviving the servers while the beta was going on.

That one thing almost everyone voted no in.

Because the free period will be lengthy, odds are they will be prorating anyone's fee periods extending into november- Though it would be nice if a community rep could verify this.

[lololink]

yes it is a free to play month if you had an active acount .

So I just got an email that I'm going to be billed on 9/16.

What month is that for? October I would think! Or are billing dates different for everyone?

I'm also wondering if I will be billed on 10/16 as well.
