Square Enix is compensating players whose service accounts held an active subscription when logins were closed on October 21.
Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy 14 subscribers will receive one day of game time free of charge starting October 28, according to gamesradar.com. The compensation follows the closure of logins to the MMO earlier in the week.
The free day applies to service accounts that have the full version of Final Fantasy 14 registered and held an active subscription as of October 21, the date the logins were closed.
Final Fantasy 14 was shut to new logins on October 21 amid a major worldwide internet security scare involving PHP, which led to a number of shutdowns, including the Steam store going down. The game reopened to the public on October 22 after the developers worked to maintain server security.
Square Enix also announced that housing demolition would soon be back in effect, without giving further details in the announcement reported by gamesradar.com.
