Square Enix being Square Enix, nothing new really. That shit has happened for years and years.

The sad and hilarious part is that the server status page (http://www.playonline.com/pcd/service/ff11usindex.html) in no way reflects the reality that - though the servers might nominally be "up" - if no one can log in, what's the point?

It's been this way for over 10 years.

My brother is currently online and playing on Ragnaros, and here´s me thinking my client is bugged out. So this is "normal" ?
There are some people online right now, but not many. most people seem to have maintenance still

3.5 hours (so far) for a 1.5 hour maintenance without a word from anyone and they expect people who quit for lack of support/customer service to have a favorable opinion during the free trial to stick around?
$5 says if people are online they're JP.

Guess I will try to reboot and if that doesn't work then scan for bad files. My POL still says unavailable for play during maintenance.

from what I have read, the NA client is locked out. if you have the EU client, you can login.

While I don't agree with the JP onry comment(there are people online on my flist that I know are not JP), I do agree that they're being really shady by not even making a post explaining that they've extended the maintenance. It's a free 10 day period, that is obviously being done to attract old players, like myself, into subbing for another month or two. This type of nonsense does nothing but hurt their chances at anything like that happening.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. It says Maintenance for me still, 4h after Maintenance should have been over.
I have the NA Client.

Each time I start Final Fantasy XI, instead of "Play", I get "Check Version". After check version I get "The game is unavailable for play during maintenance."

Locked out too. NA client. I'd switch to an EU one if I thought it'd be done updating in time to actually be worth it.

Pretty sure the EU client is locked out aswell. Seeing as my client is EU, and i get the same error.

I cannot see any arguments in the JP forum, so it must be a NA and EU's problem.
What the hell!

Sounds about right lol, unfortunately that's SE for you. My "Final Fantasy" was thinking I'd actually enjoy the changes and resub my 3 accounts. To hell with check files and the heck of a long time that takes, uninstall seems like my best bet.

Man....I came back to this? If SE doesn't extend the campaign by a day because of this glitch, I'll never give FFXI my money ever again.

Think this has happened before when they brought the servers up but not the lobby server. Seems familiar.

I haven't also been able to log into game for 3 hrs as same as you because I am using NA client.... it is wasting time...
OK, let me try reminding them on JP forum.

Tons of people are having this issue. Some people are getting on, and some are not. People are posting on multiple forums about this issue including http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/47135-Cannot-enter-game-after-maintenance
can only hope Camate or someone is bored and scrolling through random threads and makes a phone call...

Reddit and BlueGartr have narrowed down that just the NA client is not getting the Play button. JP and EU clients work to log in. All clients use the same files except for the region marked in the FFXI and layOnline applications, but it is hard to install both together. If you can just install PlayOnline Viewer for EU and set up the registry entries for FFXI of that region, you may have to only do a file check, but no redownload.

There is people posting on bg wiki forum they are using EU client and not getting on game. Also, on another thread on here someone said has a JP account on free trial and cannot sign on.
Post 33 on this link says using EU client, and I have ls members with EU client as well that cannot get on
