First of all, we would like to thank you for joining us in the realm of Eorzea, and hope you are enjoying your adventures.

Since the official launch of service on September 30, 2010, we have received a wealth of constructive feedback from the FINAL FANTASY XIV community, and the development and management teams would like to take this opportunity to express their sincerest gratitude. For those who purchased the collector’s edition and began to play one week before official service began, the month-long free play period is drawing to a close. Considering the nature of much of the feedback we received, however, and the current state of the game, we have decided to extend the free trial period for all users. Please continue reading for further details.

We would like to assure players that the world of FINAL FANTASY XIV is constantly growing and evolving, and the voices of the community are essential to that process. The development and management teams are carefully considering all player feedback, and working diligently to implement whatever changes and additions will serve to make Eorzea a better home for adventurers. We humbly ask for your continued support to this end.

Today, we have released information regarding forthcoming version updates. For further details, please view the following Lodestone Topics:

[ZarakiKujata]

interesting stuff, november/december should bring important stuff. Ofc does this mean that they are done w/ the weekly updates and well have to wait till November?

[izembo]

nah, the dev says in the other thing that they'll roll some things out over the weeks, as they need to while the free period lasts

[Valkrish]

That means they're pushing overtime and want to keep their user database for sure.

They're trying, now.

I don't want a pittance. I want a game that works properly.

[miokomioko]

Obviously the pittance is incentive to wait for the game to work properly, chief.

SE: Should we put 8 to 12 month in dev time to make this game playable, and then miss our target for 2010 or throw them a broken game and apologize? and give them a ''30 day free trial extension'' !!! ! ! !!!!
