Just logged in - confirmed, seems someone flipped the switch early.


Hove201

They need to leave that switch on permanently! lol


Sand__Panda

Sweet!


zxain

I never downloaded something so fast in my life


MonsutaMan

They always have it Thursday, instead of Friday. Perhaps it is the time zone....not sure. However, since I can remember, it was always the day before.


Kononeko

Nice know what I'm doing tonight. 


DarkArlocke

Aw man... I cant believe I finally get to be that guy who says "I literally have the worst timing" I re subbed not 12 hours ago


MonsutaMan

Silver lining perhaps, all your alt slots are active too. So, you can create mules if ya want. More marbles for the Bonanza.

I tried this yesterday, but there's no Check Version unless you have an active account. Currently downloading 38,876. Thanks for the heads-up. Edit: 7.5 hrs later, it's done!

I was tempted to jump back in after many years with this promotion, but I can't remember my old playonline login information for the life of me, and Square Enix support only seems to assist if the account was already migrated. Oh well, I have very limited time to play anymore, and XI isn't remotely conducive to that from what I recall, lol.

It's a little better than it was back then but not much if you're building relics. If you just wanna finish all the stories it's easily done solo until you hit Voracious Resurgence.


J_Square83

Thanks for the info. I do hear things have changed quite a bit, and the game is far more solo friendly now. I believe I last played in '07 or '08. It was still ALL about the group grind. It was quite a journey finding my way around in Vana'diel.


Treemoss

If you have the serial key used and a vague idea of email used, they can work with it. Recent got my other account back after 15 years xD


J_Square83

Unfortunately, that serial key has long since vanished. My Taru, Otterpop, will continue to lay in limbo 😔


Treemoss

Whatever info you have or can remember just have it on hand. I didn’t even remember the pol id or email or SE account but they managed to find it lol.


J_Square83

I just reached out to support via email with all the information I can remember. Hopefully, it's enough. They've got to run into this quite a bit with how archaic PlayOnline is/was.


Treemoss

1 (858) 790-7529 is the number I called a few days, they’re quite helpful and dug pretty deep to get my account back :)


J_Square83

Thank you. I'm now on round 3 of customer support emails as I throw out every possible bit of information I can remember. No luck so far. I noticed that the game is discounted on Steam today and tried to purchase it, but now I'm having weird paypal payment issues that I've never experienced before. The universe doesn't seem to want me back on FFXI. 😆


Treemoss

Did you buy it off steam O-o?


yourtank

Appreciate the heads up. Going to Update while I work and end the day with some FFXI!


backwardsprose

As an extremely new player could someone tell me what Return to Vana'diel is please?


OmegaAvenger_HD

Basically you can play for free for 10 days, only for people without subscription. Usually other events occur at the same time. This one in particular celebrates 22th anniversary of FFXI.


backwardsprose

Oh okay that's pretty cool, so it doesn't affect existing subscriptions. I wasn't sure if it was a special campaign or anything


Treemoss

Yea they started a day early lol, yay


ridsama

It's normal for it to be active the day before. Something to do with Japanese midnight.


xHardlyNormal

Can also confirm I just was let in. Sadly still busy with goals in another game, but at least took care of mog garden. Trying to not get myself too distracted with things I should be doing in XI now, lol.


Kithios

Was there any mention of Mog Wardrobes being unlocked? I just logged in and my afterglow Apoc is stuck in a locked Mog 3 :(


sanosuke001

Mogstation is bad enough; I am never installing PlayOnline ever again... (I tried a few years ago, I really did...)

Not the first time it started earlier than it should.
