Amazing news from Square Enix regarding FFXIV and to its current paying customers))
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/43218
People who subscribe for a total of 90 days before 2.0 launches will be able to pay discounted monthly fee cost as long as FFXIV lasts and allows you to have 8 characters on server instead of paying for each active character, and you get a unique chocobo mount AND your character's name in the FFXIV Credits if you want ^^
And for those who already have a FFXIV account but gone inactive, SE is hosting a Welcome Back Campaign that allows you to play 10 days for free, to try out all the new stuff incl the 7th Umbral Era events^^
