So yeah, they gave users 30 additional days free last month, now they are giving users another 30 days.   Guess they want people to see the new patches before they decide to unsubscribe forever.

 "As always, we would like to express our gratitude to all players enjoying their adventures in Eorzea.

Today, we have decided to extend the free trial period an additional 30 days. Please refer to the following for more details.

We have also added a Topics post detailing a portion of the content heading your way in the two large-scale version updates slated for late November and mid-December. This month’s version update, tentatively scheduled for November 25, marks the first step in bringing about significant improvement to FINAL FANTASY XIV, guided in large part by the feedback you, the players, have provided. We are adamant that you should be given the opportunity to experience these changes firsthand before deciding to fully commit to the game. We encourage everyone to view today’s post, as well as the previous Topics post from November 11 outlining the development team’s roadmap for the coming months. Further details regarding payment options and future version updates will be posted as they become available."

Wake me up when it goes Free to play.I will.Or it will crash and burn.

too bad they lost most of us within the first week. i wouldnt bother playing that half assed pile of crap if they gave me a year free. judging by the patch notes it seems they are more worried about adding a few quests and fixing the mess that was the trade system.... than the real problems like stability and functionality. what i cant seem to understand is how they did so many things right with FF11, to just scrap everything and run rampant with everything wrong that could every possibly be wrong on 14. all those years making the game for what? 
 
o right.. at least it looks pretty at 10 frames a second. 

Yep, I got given another 30 free days.  I wish they hadn't bothered.  The game is an absolute piece of shit.  I have ploughed quite a few hours into it and it feels unfinished and broken which is unacceptable.  The whole thing is a mess.
