What do you think?

Is 7 days free really enough to compensate the many players who have had such a hard time trying to get to play the game they paid for? what does everyone think or suggest?

[Pandemonium]

Yes

[Sazhka]

Yes

/10char.

i agree

[Drakan]

I think it is ok. They didn't need to give it either. Anybody who's played an mmo at it's launch know that this always happens, it always takes 1 to 2 weeks at least until the servers run smoothly.

I don't mean to be rude but what about the consumers that have not played an MMO launch? Surely SE are looking to attract new players and customers, it's been stated in several Letters from the Producer. I'm really happy the game is doing so well and hopefully the general populous is satiated with compensation of 7 days + 1 free transfer, but that is a bare minimum offer.

The editor/PR person behind Yoshi didn't do a great job by using the word CONSIDERING giving 7 days. The rest of the statement was spot on, but omitting that word would have been better.

FF14 1.0 was my first experience of an MMO launch. I left. Totally different set of circumstances for ARR, I know.

Such a shame that this game is so amazing but the concurrent connections wasn't projected correctly. Maybe because sharing NA/EU means the servers are always on Prime Time. Perhaps a dedicated EU centre would have resolved this earlier?

I have my fingers crossed for Wed cause I am loving this game!

I agree that the 1 free transfer is not enough. They should stop the cheap thinking and let us move about freely for a month to make up for the crash they created on release.

[Onnslaught]

Yup. People are still able to get in, it just might take a while. Even if the servers were fully down I would be fine with them giving us the days down as free days. I am very thankful they are providing a week of free time and as long as the server are basically fixed by Tuesday/Wednesday (whenever the actual time for the maintenance starts) all will be well on my end.

[EdwardSlice]

I mean i'm cool with it (if it gets sorted) its annoying i've not been able to login for nearly 2 days now but i saw a few arguments over people saying more free days or free gifts so i just want to see what the community thinks or could suggest xD

+ 1 free server transfer the offer is to be taken up within 2-4 weeks after the server problems are fixed ~ to account for people who either (a) had to join a server in their non-preferred data centre as their preferred data centre location wasn't available or (b) in the rush to get into the servers that were available ended up being on a different server to their friends, established shells or companies.

Yep. That should do it.

7 days additional play + 1 free server transfer.
