Square Enix is allowing players to return to Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers for up to six days for free. This is obviously being done to entice some players to hop back in to the already widely popular MMORPG a mere month after the big Shadowbringers expansion was released.
The free period is live right now and runs until August 16, 2019 at 7:59AM (PT). That's a lot of days, depending on when you read this news of course.
This free login period is only for those that have been inactive for at least 30 days prior to the start of this event.
If you like what you played, you can always keep playing with a paid subscription after the 16th. Square Enix does have a few notes about this "free login campaign," which we have also shared with you below.

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.
