All Worlds Maintenance (Mar. 7)


At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XI will be unavailable.

Thank you for your patience.

* The client software will also be updated at this time. Once this maintenance is completed, the client update will start automatically after logging back into FINAL FANTASY XI. Please follow the instructions that appear on your screen.

* You may receive errors such as "POL-1160" or "POL-0010" during the download process due to heavy server traffic. If you are unable to access the update, we ask that you please wait a while and then try again. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in making this a smooth version update.

* We will be making a change to the "World Pass" system. After the maintenance, you will be able to select the designated World for your new characters. For those of who are considering being issued a "World Pass" prior to the maintenance, we recommend that you use the "World Pass" before the maintenance goes into effect. You will still be able to be issued a "Gold World Pass" even after the maintenance.

* For the update details, please refer to "Topics" on the official PlayOnline.com web site or PlayOnline Viewer which will be available on Mar. 7, 2007.

* Also, chocobo racing has been excluded from this version update for further testing, and is scheduled to be implemented at end of March. More details will be announced when they become available. We apologize for the inconvenience.

[Date & Time]
Mar. 7, 2007 from 9:00 to 16:00 (PST)
* Maintenance completion time may be subject to change.

Sorry. It's about time I get up there, lol...

But yeah, I guess we have to wait until the end of this month.

I knew it >_> they had to delay breeding, and now racing too. Oh well, doesn't even affect me, but I do feel sorry for everyone who was frothing at the mouth over it ; ;

Re: All Worlds Maintenance (Mar. 7)

I can see a couple of good things coming out of this.
-If migration was free then there is that the AH will be on a more global scale. That would mean that there would be a whole lot of supply and a huge deflation (which would be bad for RMT and people who rely on some things for profit).
-I can finally get all of my friends onto my server and make FFXI more enjoyable. Then they'd go back to where they please.

I'm guessing the World Pass system is going to be refined to allow you to do a world transfer.

Here's a question: Are the characters stored on the lobby server? It seems so, could most likely be wrong. If they were, we could just choose a world at login and instantly start playing.
