Temporary Suspension of Sales and Free Trial Registrations

[SE_Kiwikopo]

On Thursday, December 16, FFXIV Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida released a response providing several updates addressing current congestion issues.

Players are currently experiencing extremely long wait times due to the dense concentration of play hours which far exceed server capacity, especially during the peak times. To reduce congestion, the sale and delivery of FINAL FANTASY XIV Starter Edition and Complete Edition will be temporarily suspended. Additionally, although those with an active subscription are prioritized to log in, Free Trial players are unable to log in outside of late night and early morning hours. Thus, new registrations for the Free Trial will also be temporarily suspended.

Expansion packs and Collector's Edition digital upgrades will continue to be available for existing players so that they may upgrade as needed.

Additionally, all players who currently own the full version of the game and have an active subscription as of Tuesday, December 21, at 12:00 a.m. (PST) / 8:00 (GMT), will be granted additional game time compensation.

Thank you. I suppose it's both good and bad news.
We are having a lot of players which is a good sign for the game, meanwhile these server capacity and stability issues indicate lack of professionalism.

Covid had a huge impact on hardware availability

It’s been over a week now.

And omg, stop blaming everything on Covid.

Who takes a vacation to play a game they haven't even purchased yet?! And then one that is as old as FF14?!?!?!

You guys have to be drama queens or something.

That makes sense. You love the game and they are releasing an expansion, so you set aside time for it. Yes.

But this business of saying you take time off to play a game you've never played before just sounds like drama-stirring. Why wouldn't a person BUY it and DOWNLOAD it at the very least before taking time off of work??? Really???
