After a couple of weeks filled with overloaded servers, character creation restrictions and the sort, Square Enix have today confirmed that digital download sales have now resumed for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the PC and Playstation 3.
Due to the unprecedented demand at launch, digital download sales of the game were suspended on the 28th August 2013. After extensive maintenance on the servers and generally expanding the number of them on offer, the servers are now open to all regardless of purchase method.
Of course the question remains how many will still be playing after the 30-day free time included in each purchase expires.
