In order to address an issue wherein some users were unable to properly update FINAL FANTASY XI, we had an emergency maintenance on Jul. 7, 2017 from 2:30 to 4:00 (PDT) / 9:30 to 11:00 (GMT) / 10:30 to 12:00 (BST) in which we re-performed a version update of the client program.

Players that were affected by the issue can log in and perform the version update again any time after Jul. 7, 2017 4:00 (PDT) / 11:00 (GMT) / 12:00 (BST). This will solve the issue without having to completely re-install.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
