Cannot re-activate Mog Wardrobe(s) during Return Home Campaign ???

[Burialfaith]

Greetings,

I've waited months for the holidays' free FFXI playtime. I wanted to resume blue magic learning, but the blue mage gears' are stuck in Mog Wardrobe 3. Thus, I went to SE website and when trying to reactivate the Mog Wardrobe 3 it prompts: "It is not possible to only reactivate a Mog Wardrobe option".

Rather deceived; changes to current Return Home Campaign rules would be more than welcome.

Regards,

it's a well known, but designed, issue. In order to access paid wardrobes, your account needs to have an active character- free access does not make the character active. They are not unlocked during return home campaigns. There is no deception here though. This is how it has always been, since the wardrobes were introduced.

If you're as eager to play again as you appear, perhaps you'll fully return and everything will be as normal.

That said, you won't find anyone here (including me) who would disagree that you should be able to remove items from an inactive wardrobe (just not move things to it) so they're not effectively held hostage, whether it's a return campaign or you just don't want to use/pay for it anymore. They should definitely do that.

Would be nice if SE at least let us access previously activated wardrobes from the mog house. For now you're stuck with your stuff in limbo since you aren't a paying customer.

Yeah, it's just a free login campaign. You aren't allowed to have any gear to actually play the game, only log in.

They would have to give everyone fre access to mog wardrobes, which could cause server strain, but you may also have a situation where someone who pays to subscribe, but not for all wardrobes used them and then couldn't access gear after promotion ends.

It's a freebie, just accept that, it's for returnees from before wardrobes were a thing, If thats not you, you should really pay.

I mean I'm with you in acknowldinging its would be more complicated than it might look. But I'm not proposing giving free access to wardrobes- I'm only saying unpaid wardrobes should be remove-only: That is, you should be able to take items out of a wardrobe that's been cancelled. Not equip or put items in, just take them out. Otherwise, your items are held hostage until you pay up again. You shouldn't be required to empty it BEFORE cancelling.
