Square Enix is celebrating MMO Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn having achieved 4 million registered users, discounting Free Trial versions, and has announced a ”free log-in period” to run from this weekend.
The free game time is only for those ”taking a break” from Eorzea, and to let them sample the changes from the recent Patch 2.51. They did a similar albeit smaller free weekend at the start of February.
”The longer than usual free log-in campaign will also give players the chance to experience the newly implemented contents of Patch 2.51. Released earlier this week, Patch 2.51- Before the Fall features the highly anticipated Manderville Gold Saucer,” announced Square Enix. Read the patch notes here.
This ”free log-in period” begins Friday, February 27th @ 8.00am GMT and ends Monday, March 9th @ 8.00am GMT. You must own a copy of FFXIV and have an account marked as inactive to be eligible.
