Saturday 16-Oct-2010 2:25 PM Square Enix holds its hands up
A statement from Square posted yesterday read: "For those who purchased the collector's edition and began to play one week before official service began, the month-long free play period is drawing to a close.
"Considering the nature of much of the feedback we received, however, and the current state of the game, we have decided to extend the free trial period for all users."
The free trial extension gives all players another 30 days before payment - and will do doubt be used by the publisher to update the game to remedy some of its biggest issues.
