o/

After being given a copy of FFXI, (Been meaning to pick it up for a long time but people keep telling me not to) I managed to get it installed earlier today after a bit of hubbub with the installing.

Upon trying to run the Playonline registration, I was told there was maintenance on the PO server, so I couldn't register, ok no biggy, I'll wait an hour. *1 Hour Later* try again... hmm still down, maybe its daily maintenance time or something, like eve *Waits another hour* Hmmm, ok still down, I go and check the EU Play online site, nothing.... go and google, find nothing, click the Information box on the Playonline client window... nothing found for today... go and check the FFXI servers, all of those are running fine, just the Play online one down...

I've tried it every hour, since 6am (It's now 12:21PM) everytime it says down for maintenance.

Am I missing something? is it really down? is this some error message that I've done wrong but it's giving me this as an excuse? (I've played some strange MMO's, on the trial version of Auto assault it says the next area is down for Maintenance, when it's not)

If it is legit work going on, anyone know how long for? is this a common thing? am I just trying to get going at a wrong time?

After googling and searching for any clues, I came up dry, but chances are I might have missed something.

Anyone able to shed some light on this situation?
