Surely if this brings in new players and gets some old players back this is a good thing? Have any other MMOs done this? Sometimes it is good to see things at face value and not try and over think anything devious has happened. Just a nice gesture in dark times.

Or it could be logins when you put your username and password in initially?

Did they even open or was it just to get the update?

Nice to see the servers opened earlier than announced

So if they knew 2 weeks ago why didn’t they do something about it?

Odd, when I checked it last week it was one of those cheep search engine sites that take over once famous domains.

I enjoyed playing Star Wars and at the moment am playing Final Fantasy XIV which is amazing IMHO

For £10 a year surely it would have been worth them keeping it up. I see it is now a search type thing now.

That’s how I read it too

It’s for people who have played recently not for salty sea hags who haven’t played for years ??

In FFXIV? Still smooth and lag free (apart from when I kicked the laptop power out and was running on battery only for a bit!)
