All Worlds Maintenance (Jun. 21)

[Mhurron]

At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on all FINAL FANTASY XI worlds to accompany the version update and the implementation of the new battle area add-on "Vision of Abyssea." During this period, FINAL FANTASY XI will be unavailable.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

* This maintenance will be accompanied by a version update. After maintenance is complete, the update will automatically begin after you press the "Play" button. After that, please follow the instructions on the screen.

* The World Transfer Service will be unavailable starting 30 minutes before the maintenance. Please wait until after the maintenance is completed before attempting to use this service.

* 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.

* The new battle area add-on "Vision of Abyssea" will be become playable after the version update. For those who have already purchased the new battle area add-on, please confirm whether the title of the new battle area add-on is present on the FINAL FANTASY XI title screen after the version update is complete.

* For the update details, please refer to "Topics" on the official PlayOnline.com web site or PlayOnline Viewer which will be available on Tuesday, Jun. 22, 2010.

Re: All Worlds Maintenance (Jun. 21)

That's 3 hours if you start your download as soon as the button that normally says "Play" goes to "Update". If not, you'll probably be spending 4-5 hours downloading, assuming you don't get bumped due to overload after the file check phase, which takes a while all on its own, and has to be repeated completely before you can hope to download again... (gasp for breath)

At least they gave us half the update already, so maybe there will be less Download Hell this time.
