How many days before deadline should I return...

[Blitz15]

I did not return yet because of school, but because of the Return Home campaign I am returning early, end of May before the campaign ends. I know it ends the 31st, but when should I submit an application by? I don't want to submit it like the 30th then find out they never got to it before the 31st so I can't do it. SO, how long does it usually take after the application to be approved?

I'd just submit it now so you for sure get back.

Having your application turned in and having it approved does not mean you have to play *now* ... unless you're having financial issues because of this.

Re: How many days before deadline should I return...

Ok thanks. I also want to see if I can simply reactivate it without using the campaign (like just loading the game and reactivating it manually. I think it's only been since Oct. 2005).

I think I'll submit it now then. Thanks.

EDIT :

The Return Home to Vana'diel Campaign - Type B

- The applicant must be a current PlayOnline member.
- The applicant has cancelled a FINAL FANTASY XI Content ID, and is unable to use the regular Content ID reactivation process because the reactivation period has passed.

I was talking about the 2nd bullet. I will first see if I can reactivate it with the norman reactivation process.

If the normal reactivation better or worse then the welcome back campaign? Will one guarantee my original character and items more than the other?

You mean I don't need to rejoin right away? I thought they activated it for you right away.

Don't think they activate it right away, they just put your information back into the system. Think it starts it off again with the 3 month period before getting removed again. When you do activate the content ID you'll want it to be as close to start of month as you can after the billing cycle.

If you do it before the billing cycle it's going to charge you twice.

Are you sure? I believe they actually charge per day, not per month. I got it for christmas 2004, and i registered around the 27th the the bill was only around $3, not the full $13.

I did the B campaign and it said this:

You did not use FINAL FANTASY XI services before canceling your PlayOnline account.
You are not eligible for this campaign.



But I played it for about 10 months so this can't be true. What do I do? Should I try the "A"?
