If you’re a lapsed player yet to try out the latest patch 2.1 for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn then it’s your lucky… two days. This weekend’s free login event will give eligible players a chance to check out the new content without a subscription.
Available to inactive users who’ve previously registered a copy of FFXIV, the event ties in with the recent release of FFXIV’s patch 2.1 update, A Realm Awoken. Square Enix announced the news in a press release today.
With the release of A REALM AWOKEN, the Patch 2.1 update, myriad new adventures await in the realm of Eorzea. Whether you choose to brave the Labyrinth of the Ancients—the new 24-man raid—confront the primals in new extreme encounters, test your mettle against your fellow adventurers in the Wolves’ Den, or work with the Scions in thwarting the Ascians and their dark schemes, there is much to do in the newly awoken realm of Eorzea.
With so many additions and refinements to the game, we’re excited to have as many players as possible experience all that FFXIV: ARR has to offer. To that end, we’ve decided to host a Free Login Weekend! If you or any of your friends have purchased Version 1.0 and have yet to play—or are simply taking a break from—FFXIV: ARR, you won’t want to miss out on this limited-time event!
The free login event runs from Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 08:00 (GMT) to Monday, January 13, 2014 at 08:00 (GMT)
