Square Enix: Final Fantasy 14 Updates & More

Square Enix has elongated the Final Fantasy 14 free play duration as its servers persist in straining under the weight of the players’ pressure. The fantastical massively multiplayer online game has been rendered unplayable for numerous individuals since its launch, owing to Square Enix’s failure to make adequate preparations for the multitude of gamers endeavoring to log in.

The enterprise will take the MMO offline this evening for urgent maintenance in an endeavor to rectify the issue – and has prolonged the free trial as an apology for the continuous problems.

“Due to the login and character creation restrictions that have impeded our capacity to offer high-quality service, all Final Fantasy 14 service accounts will be granted an additional seven days of free play time,” Square Enix stated.

“Furthermore, users who have not yet entered their registration codes will be awarded an additional seven-day trial if they register before 11.59 pm (PDT) on September 9, 2013. Going forward, we will persistently monitor the servers to guarantee that quality service and support are furnished in a timely fashion.”

The emergency maintenance commences at 5pm PDT this evening (1am tomorrow, Wednesday UK time) and will last for 10 hours “with the aim of augmenting the number of available Worlds, alleviating the stress on the Duty Finder servers, and enhancing the number of concurrent logins permitted for each server”.
