Yes yes, we have all seen the several announcements about fixes coming "hopefully within the coming week." Hopefully is their own word. It may take LONGER than a week. And even if it does only take a week, these 1017 shenanigans are going to start eating into subscription time. At the moment I believe EA time is still in effect, but isn't there only a day of that left? After that, we're starting to lose sub time for something we have officially paid for.

I'm all for Square doing whatever the hell needs to be done to get this absolutely god awful launch working fine, but if it's going to start costing US, the CONSUMER, money, by locking us out of a product we paid for, then isn't it only ethical to add one day to everyone's game time for every day this 1017 nonsense has went on? I'm well aware many people CAN play, but for every one person able to play how many do you think cannot?

I honestly don't expect any reparations from Square in the first place, but I think it's pretty much the only thing that can be done at this point to save themselves from this PR nightmare. A simple free week and suddenly everyone will forget and forgive the poor launch.

Before everyone goes off on a tangent I'm well aware there probably hasn't been a single MMO with a good launch, but I've been around and played during the launch of possibly a dozen MMOs and this one is by far the worst; not even mentioning the atrocious payment process of having to enter a key to get a key to get a key only to have many people enter a particular key in the wrong place and POOF their 30 days are gone.

Aside from the server issues and piss poor account creation process, I do commend Square on the actual WORKING game. A+ having a blast the couple hours I've been able to actually play the damned thing.
