Wait until Wednesday to see how it works out after the update!!!

As for your 30 Day Free Sub, SE is considering add another 7 extra days on top of your 30 days as compensation, not 100% confirmed though.
As for your Start being greyed out, either wait for a few mins or re-log the game, it will fix the problem. The main problem, I think is on SE's server side due to being overloaded consistently. But it could be because of your Internet connection as well..

All of this, I hope it will be fixed after Wednesday update.
