Just been on the Allakhazam forums and somebody posted this :

i just spoke to a support representitive they are expecting it to last another hour

FFXI TSR George: Our registration servers are all down for maintanance right now meaning that users will not be able to register or make changes to new accounts (password changes, resets, etc.) The maintanance will hopefully end by 3:00 pm (PST) if you need to make changes to the account, or if you need to ask us to make changes then please contact us after 3. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Me: ok when is that i'm in the uk and there is no support avaliable at this time
FFXI TSR George: Approximately 1 hour from now.

so 11 PM for us UK people

So hopefully in about half an hours time I'll be able to get somewhere instead of staring at Loading and Error screens all night long.

I have not managed to pick up a world pass, if anyone is able to can you pick one up, im currently in the new zones and might be awhile before im back out.

[talizker]

Still trying to get on to register the expansion... Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying. Heading to Bastok in a sec so will get a World Pass and post here later tonight.

[talizker]

What can I say. The biggest disapointment in ages. Still can't register the f**king expansion and no coffer key for Tobal or me in Quicksand Caves.

/fume

9857636162

No installation nightmare for me (what do you mean it's cos I don't have the expansion)... I had promyvion nightmares instead.

Pick up party, shambolic approach, became an alliance on the 2nd floor, aggroed by the NM (which we beat but it cost us several deaths).. etc etc. The last floor was just ridiculous - we literally ran from start to finish by the most direct route, picking up every single bit of aggro on the way (or should I say the other party did, we just followed and were expected to mop up afterwards).

Then in the ENM fight itself, everyone started by drinking poison (we were in the Spire of Dem, lol!) and rushed in before the white mage had cast buffs. All the melees died towards the end, which left both the ingester + wanderer beating me to a pulp. I manafonted to get out as much damage as I could, white mage then saved my neck with benediction and kited them off (out of range in fact)... I ran into the middle and kept chucking out the spells as the boss killed the white mage and came back for me. Defeated it, last man standing... not a single member of the party had reraise up, so I was the only one to get any experience out of it!

As expected everyone started squabbling and blamed the whm so that was the end of it, we had planned to go do the others as well.

Me and Mariaj had a great time today with the new expansion. I had no probs with my 360 ver but i set it up yesterday

We explored the new areas and got the Puppetmaster and Corsair jobs too

Love everything about it so far, although it seems to be geared for 60+ lvl wise.

Still no luck, at 6:40am! Not getting the POL-1363 messege though, back to the old POL-1361 one.

[C']

Me and Wedge spent about 3 hours in Aht Urghan but the sheer scale and scope of the town meant that even after all that time we achieved very little in that time. There are tonnes of quests we have activated (and I have only gone through one of the zones, there is whole other one yet.

The only thing that bothered me was the constant shouting and spoilers that people insisted on imparting. I had had to filter out Say and Shout in the end. Seriously, sometimes I wonder if people who play this game are capable of wiping their ass without shouting for help on how to do it.

*sigh* 1361 for me as well

The stupid GM I spoke to originally tried to blme to error message on something I'D done, suggesting a problem with my internet connection

If this bull**** doesn't sort itself by mid-day, I'm going to end up with a ban because what I'll end up saying to a support GM won't be pleasant at all.

[mikewl]

Fact is this is a busy period for the game and they do seem to be having some problems, I would expect it to be sorted by today though.

Tobal, Talizker maybe a Testimony might be easier to get afterall, I was lucky I had an Item I could use for it already in storage.

We got Rares from the Goblins in Cape Terrigan as I knew they dropped quite often from exping bst there and there was no competition, got the drop after about 15 or so minutes.

As for my first venture into Aht Urghan I was impressed at the size, as Rare said there are alot of quests from the off just going round talking to npc's.

Of the other zones I saw they are good and am looking forward to exploring as a LS.

Cant wait to get Back on tonight.

[talizker]

Well I actually have a Coffer Key for Temple of Uggalepih but was a bit relucant to use that as I would like the map. I don't think Tobal is on tonight so I will have to evaluate the situation, asuming I can get my code entered.

I can't solo Testimony mobs. I can do some of Coffer Mobs in QC but its a bit long winded. The 6 x Beginner items will take an age to get (I know, I started trying last night), not sure about the 3 x middle ones mind.

So with this in mind, and the fact I really want to see some of the new content before my holiday I guess the Uggalepih may be used (I am asuming you don't get the key back....).

Was gutted I couldn't join Wedge and Rare for the first look round...
