I got in too. Got to the load up screen where your data (msgs., friend list) is retrieved, then...it disconnected me from network. Three times I tried this...three times I got dc'd.

I just logged into POL, took awhile though...FINALLY =D

Well I went to POL and checked the live feed and did see ppl running around Bastok chasing trick or treat NPC'S... So it looks like some ppl are getting on to play.

i had last thursday off (10 hour maintence)
had this thursday off (10 hour maintence)
& still not on from the last maintence ><
its like they know when i have free time and then hurry back to funk up the game b4 i get home ><, when im paying $17 bucks a month i want to play when i want to play,they need to get thier **** together,i got to vent out elsewhere b4 i put something through my PS2,hope u all handle this w/ more ease than me,,good luck and good gaming

1 month free? Nah, tops would be like 2-3 dollars off next month. Either way I'd really rather just see GOOD new content come out. Ability to let people into your moghouse. Ability to add rooms to the moghouse (Wouldn't it be nice to buy an add-on chocobo stable to your own house?) Animated back items (black cape - yes please). Mogtent - yeah, you can only use it at home points and it'll give you options like a nomad moogle (maybe without the delivery box) Weapons with visual effect animations on them (i.e. flame sword always on fire and actually looks like it.) A barber shop and a weight loss/gain shop and a cosmetic surgery place (yeah, i want to change my face style, height and hair style, might as well give me the damn option to.) And seriously, what the hell is with these NPC's that store armor and junk, it's such a hassle. It would of been nice to consolodate all those NPC's into 1. What NPC? You're moogle! Always conveniently located. A teleporter as well as airships - seriously, why is it so important to waste our time on an airship. It is convenient for no one. Just give us teleporters so we can travel whenever instead of missing the airship by 1 second having to wait 20 minutes just for it to get back to you and take you to your location. Ugh, now I'm ranting. This is what no FF does, it makes us look at all the damn areas that need improvement. Done.

Nice to think about, but I hardly see it as happening. I believe it is easier for their billing system to see a non-payment therefore getting your butt kicked, rather than going through all the codes to see who has been wronged in which time zone and factoring an amount to reimburse.

Peace,

Alright. The Registration server (as in not POL or FF online) will be down the night of the 23rd and morning of the 24th. The current log-on issue is being addressed and will be resolved at an unknown time. Please go to www.playonline.com/ff11us then click the "information" button on the left. Actually READ what is stated in anything that has Oct. 21st or later as the date. So, when can we all get back on and start working for the +1 versions of the harvest festival items? Well, as I stated earlier and as stated in the information section:

Currently investigation and recovery work are underway and we hope to resolve this issue as soon as possible. We will post more information as it becomes available.

We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused.

Notice how it just has a "From" time and no "to" time? This means it's unknown. I hope you can feel a little smarter now.

got back from a 5 month tour from middle east.. had to do like an 3 hour update.. hey no problemo. was back in the groove. then another update. couldnt get back on till the next day cause im in the east coast. now this.... WTF!!!!! i really never understood why does updates and stupid crap like this happen on the weekends and holidays?

/sigh everytime i have a day off... wtf that is all im saying

Ok...I was just on the POL website, which is up again, checked server status...it says all servers are up. Go back to FFXI...servers busy. I'm a very confooosed Elvaan! <(o.O)>

Appears to me that all of this last month most of our downtime has been due to preperation of the new Xbox users.. why is it they put us through this without some kinda of compensation to make it a bit more bearable! like a month free? Not that it would fix anything, but less reason to complain maby.

I think we have lost 30+ hours of play time in the last month.. that sound about right?

Login difficulties cause by maintance? what is maintance for ... ? wOT is the point of letting us wait for hours and hours ...

IF YOU cant log on ! they still need to maintanin it again .... <-- to someone who calls people an idiot !

wut is POL-0011?

What the hell do they have to do that takes 4 friggin days at a time to do? Are they busy counting the sh*tloads of money they make from us each and every month and until that's done, they can't fix the servers that they f*ed up during the last two maintenances? This is bullsh*t. Guess I'll have to go spend time with the wife now. . .
