    New Features in Aht Urhgan(06/21/2006)The FINAL FANTASY XI Development Team has put several measures into effect since the release of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion disc to lessen the congestion in Al Zahbi, including adjustments to Besieged and the introduction of auction house fees and bazaar taxes. The upcoming Mog Locker expansion and the introduction of new features in Aht Urhgan are designed to create a more convenient atmosphere for players. While the effects of these changes may not be immediately visible, we believe that these measures will eventually result in less overcrowding of the new towns.

    Mog Locker Expansion
    The Mog Locker was introduced for the convenience of players exploring the new areas of Aht Urhgan. In order to preserve in-game balance, the Mog Locker was given an initial capacity of 50 items and limited to use in Al Zahbi. Even more players than expected have begun to use this service, so we decided to eliminate some of the restrictions on the Mog Locker during the next version update.

    1. Maximum capacity increased to 60 items
    Following the next version update, trading Aht Urhgan currency to Fubruhn in Aht Urhgan Whitegate will allow you to increase your Mog Locker capacity to hold 60 items.

    2. Access expanded to areas outside Al Zahbi
    You will soon be able to use your Mog Locker in your Mog House from anywhere in Vana'diel after the completion of certain free procedures. However, these procedures will slightly shorten the length of a Mog Locker lease, which costs one Imperial bronze piece to renew. In addition, the remaining time on the current lease will be proportionately reduced. Of course, you can always choose to make your Mog Locker usable only in Al Zahbi once again.

    3. Mog Locker lease renewable from any area
    In accordance with the Mog Locker access expansion, players will also be able to renew their lease for one Imperial bronze piece from a Mog House at any location.

    New Features in Aht Urhgan
    After careful consideration of the effects on game balance, the FINAL FANTASY XI Development Team has deemed the following features ready for addition to the towns of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion disc:

    1. Chocobo Stables Grand Opening
    The chocobo stables in Al Zahbi will finally open for use in the next version update. Players will be able to rent a chocobo in Al Zahbi and ride out into the Wajaom Woodlands. Please note, however that the NPCs at the chocobo stables may be captured during Besieged, disabling chocobo use until their rescue.

    2. New NPCs
    The following NPCs will be added to the towns of Al Zahbi and Aht Urhgan Whitegate:

    -An equipment storage NPC
    -A special event item storage NPC
    -A weather forecast NPC
    -A Pursuivant NPC to transport players to Brenner and Ballista matches

    Furthermore, additions will be made to the number of special event items that can be stored.

      Yay. This completely solves my space issue. As well as being able to access it from anywhere in Vana'diel. I don't care if the time we get access to our lockers is shortened, with these two additions, It seems like more than a fair deal. The weather forecasting NPC will also be very nice. Not saying it will, but hopefully it will give the weather everywhere in Aht Urhgan. That would really help with the "Get the Picture" quest. :D

      And of course, I am still exploding with excitement over the chocobo breeding. ^^

        So does this mean I'll be able to chocobo out to a staging point so I don't have to put any effort into that first mission? >.>

          Likely you still can't ride through Halvung or Mamook, and it even sounded like you may not be able to enter Thickets.

          This is mostly good for PTs in woodslands, and getting to your staging point faster.

              Well, this is good news for me. I just recently set my HP in Jeuno by accident. I've been too lazy to take the boat back to Whitegate, so I've been sans Mog Locker items. I suppose this still means that I'll have to boat over to gain the ability to access from anywhere. /sigh

              Hurray anyway!

                      Sweet deal. I can't access POL website because I'm at work, but I've been wondering...have they set a date on the next update yet?

                          I'm very happy abotu this.. It's funny people have been saving Imperial standing to be able to get that turban. i've been using mines to increase mog locker Access.

                          Last Week I was leased all the way thru t January of 2007. As of last night I'm leased thru Next March ^^. Hopefully by weeks end I'll be leased thru next June.
                          That way even If they shorten it, I wont have to worry about access until next year sometime.
