We are pleased to announce that the next FINAL FANTASY XI version update has been scheduled to take place in early June. The addition of compelling new missions to the Wings of the Goddess storyline will form the heart of this update. Other content includes a new ranking system for Campaign, battle-related tweaks encompassing jobs and merit points, and additions and adjustments to fellows and chocobo raising.
Stay tuned for the latest information on the above additions and changes
Even though its "right on time", it seems a lot sooner than it should be.

^^ Yay merit tweaks! I wonder though, does this mean SCH and DNC are already getting their category 1's? Maybe they'll add some new ones or change some for the other jobs?
This "New ranking system" for campaign puzzles me though. They're not talking about adding more ranks (which is what I'm still waiting for) but rather it sounds more like they're going to tweak how you earn points again. Maybe they'll scrap this whole retarded notion that you need to be evaluated every 30 days! | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-25-2008, 06:45 AM | #3 (permalink) | | Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Winston,GA Posts: 591 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 41 Thanked 20x in 18 Posts Gil: 5,096 Bank: 3,418 Total Gil: 8,514 Donate | Re: Version Update Notice (04/25/2008) maybe you can just get something like "Major General" for a title like the TAOU stuff...I just can't say because we don't have any real details... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-25-2008, 07:20 AM | #4 (permalink) | | Altanaの戦士 Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Fenrir Server Posts: 2,381 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 109 Thanked 193x in 135 Posts Gil: 59 Bank: 18,800 Total Gil: 18,859 Donate | Re: Version Update Notice (04/25/2008) Hmm, maybe I missed something, but I didn't see the part where they mention the DX9 update (again).

Wonder what jobs are going to be tweaked this time around, hopefully RDM so those threads can die | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-25-2008, 09:01 AM | #7 (permalink) | | Pyro-Medic Super Moderator Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,246 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 163 Thanked 88x in 54 Posts Gil: 8,874 Bank: 15,621 Total Gil: 24,495 Donate | Re: Version Update Notice (04/25/2008) I guess I'll be hiding behind Age of Conan until the update.
Nothing interesting usually behind any of these updates.
