In order to celebrate Patch 3.1 online, SE holds a free login campaign. It is different from before, this time the free login time is up to 96 hours. For the AFK players, it is the best time to return. Here we makes a guide for this campaign, and it could help some AFK players who want to return to FFXIV as well.

This campaign will last from Tuesday, December 1, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. to Thursday, December 31, 2015 at 6:59 a.m. (PST). Free login period is 4 days including the day on which user first log in. It ends on the fourth day at 11:59 p.m. (local time). Users possessing a valid Square Enix account who meet the following conditions will be able to play FINAL FANTASY XIV free of charge during the upcoming campaign:

1.Users who have previously purchased and registered FINAL FANTASY XIV.
2.All registered services accounts are set as inactive during the campaign period.
3.At least thirty days have passed since the registered service account to be used has been set as inactive.

If you match these requirements, you could get your free time luckily. If you or any of your friends are currently taking a break from your adventures in Eorzea, you won’t want to miss out on this limited-time event. Of course, it is the best time to recall your old friends to play together again. There are some other notes for the campaign explained by official as following:

1.The free login period begins after logging in via the game launcher using your Square Enix user name and password.
2.Including the day on which you first log in, the free login period lasts approximately four days. For example, players who log in on December 2, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. can play free of charge until December 5, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. However, because the campaign ends on Thursday, December 31, 2015 at 6:59 a.m. (PST), players who begin playing on December 28, 2015 will not be able to play the full ninety-six hours.
3.Players who are logged in when their free login period expires will be forcibly logged out from the game.
4.Players with multiple service accounts registered to a single Square Enix account cannot participate if at least one of the accounts is currently active.
5.Service accounts that have been canceled or suspended due to a violation of the service agreement cannot participate.
6.Players who purchase a subscription during their free login period will forfeit the remaining duration of said period.
7.Players cannot log in using a platform on which their service accounts have not been registered.
8.Players can log in using all platforms on which their service account has been registered.
9.When attempting to participate in the free login campaign using a Square Enix account with multiple service accounts, the free login period will be valid only for the first service account selected upon logging in. Please note that you may be unable to participate in the free login campaign with more than one service account at a time. If you cannot log in using a second service account even after meeting all other requirements, we ask that you wait for the free login period to expire on your first service account and try again.

How wonderful the free login campaign it is! Have fun !
