[Dannythm]

You read that right, SE is conscious of their shortcomings and will compensate us for this:

Guess it will come to English through Reinheart or the official translation soon enough.

Yoshi is great, and this was to be expected.

Oh, and also, 218k people playing at the same time is really wonderful, and this is looking like the trend is of growth!

Edit: Reinhart wins the translation race! (like always):

218k people player at the same time is crazy! Wish we had those numbers in XI when I was searching for a party in the Dunes! lol!

Lol.

I wasn't surprised by the fact that they'll give us free days. That's historically what SE does when something goes bad, but I'm glad to see they're not stopping the tradition

Lets celebrate getting back the number of days we couldn't play the game we paid for! This is the most basic of customer service. We still are dog excrement on the bottom of their shoe compared to their precious Japanese servers.

People like you make me sick! Even when they acknowledge the problem, compensate us adequately you play the race card? They are not treating any player, no matter where they're from any different. Money is money. Business is business and we're all customers. You know, the kind any business worth their salt wants to keep.

Cut down on the lemons... you won't be so sour-faced.

Do us a favor and go play instead of complaining some more.

Article calls "AFK kick" a placebo solution

[Javilen]

Good deal.. I was watching my 15 free days go sliding by and haven't been able to get into the game once except for the very first day when I resurrected my character. But by the time I got past the cool intro I had to log out for work. I'm happy to know I will still get my chance to try out the revamp to the game before I commit to it.

[Hoshiko]

FFXI had auto-disconnect. Most of them might have been AFK! Heehee. I'm glad that Yoshi took the time to write a response. I appreciate how hard he is trying to make this game work.

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth and I am happy that we are getting free days, I am disheartened though that now I have to wait how ever many more "several" days added to the already 33 free days before I can get my subscription up. Lol I know 1st world problems
