So the servers went down earlier due to emergency maintenance, which is all fine.
I tried logging back in a little later, the game found a new patch and installed it.
Apparently the servers were still down so i just logged out of the viewer again and waited.
Now my brother called me up asking if i wanted to play, as he was online now. So i go and try to log in, only to find the game telling me it´s in maintenance and i cannot log in. Even though the server status pages shows everything as up, and my brother is actually playing the game right now.
Is it a bug, or are there any ways i can get past this? I did a check on the FFXI files, and nothing came up.
