If your account has been inactive and your character has been deleted after 90 days, then you will not regain your character on April 14th if you so choose.
The first wave is for people who killed just their playonline account.... You will only be able to regain a character back in the second wave in June.
Now I am stuck with not bothering at all or starting all over again. I was only lvl 23/11 but it still stinks. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 03-31-2005, 12:45 PM | #2 (permalink) | | J...atatouille Super Moderator Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 8,338 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 5 Thanked 137x in 107 Posts Gil: 31,928 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 31,928 Donate | hmm my old char was 70rdm and yada yada as you can see in my signature ^^ And I seriously doubt I can revive him because
1 - I never cancel my POL
2 - it's a japanese account There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Personally I think it was a good thing they did this, though it's obviously a bit misleading.. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 03-31-2005, 06:43 PM | #4 (permalink) | | The Closer Super Moderator Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 4,936 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 149 Thanked 577x in 361 Posts Gil: 12,248 Bank: 26,765 Total Gil: 39,013 Donate | Didn't they also say there was a 2nd phase to this?

I called SE, and tehy said my account and character were available, and that I could get both back (in april, I assumed).

JUST got off the phone with POL rep, he said phase 1 (april) is for people who's POL accoutns have been cancelled/deleted; YOU GET BOTH ACCOUNT AND CHARACTERS BACK.
Phase 2 is for people who STILL HAVE THIER POL ACCOUNT, BUT WANT OTHER CHARACTERS THEY'VE DELETED OFF OF THAT SAME ACCOUNT BACK. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-02-2005, 09:09 PM | #9 (permalink) | | Member Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 985 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 8,032 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 8,032 Donate | just FYI, level 23 is like 10% of the xp required to get to 75. you can get back to level 23 in 2-3 days if you have a friend in the game to bootstrap you with a little money, and you know where to go. don't stress over a level 23 character   63/63 maps obtained | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-03-2005, 12:53 PM | #10 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 47 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,313 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,313 Donate | do you absolutely have to have your old pol account key?

I found my book (and therefore my POL ID) the 2nd time I called.
pretty sure you can get your POL ID from them if you have your other info. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-03-2005, 04:22 PM | #12 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 47 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,313 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,313 Donate | | Quote: | Originally posted by Cavalier Call SE to make sure, but I didn't have my POL id first time i called, I gave them my name and stuff and he looked up my account.

Although, it says in the very first paragraph "...we're issuing these players registration codes free of charge to allow them to come back to PlayOnline, play FINAL FANTASY XI, and even recover and play their old characters from before!". http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/campaign/index.html
So, I dunno for sure. I'd imagine if you can provide otehr info proving you had a POL ID and content ID (i.e. name and address, payment info, etc), it wouldn't be a problem. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-07-2005, 08:47 PM | #14 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2003 Posts: 6 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 176 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 176 Donate | i had my account deleted like a year ago im guessing i cant get it back? | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-07-2005, 09:15 PM | #15 (permalink) | | The Closer Super Moderator Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 4,936 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 149 Thanked 577x in 361 Posts Gil: 12,248 Bank: 26,765 Total Gil: 39,013 Donate | I think the best advice to you is to call:
PlayOnline Information Center
(858) 790-7529 (PLAY)
Monday - Friday
9:00 am - 6:00 pm Pacific Time (excluding weekends and holidays)
or contact them via the net: https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/index.html
There seems to be a lot of confusion about this promotion so the best way to know if YOU are eligible is to contact them and ask about your account. Good luck.
