is something wrong with the servers right now ??

i cant log on to ffxi right now i have entered my ID and password 5 or 6 times and it wont let me get on ........

It won't let you log in or it's telling you wrong I.D./password?

Leading cause of such issues is modem/internet/DNS on your/ISP end. Servers are up right now. Seeing that you can post on the forums... I'll have to think on that one.

Or maybe he didn't change over to the SE account system, and now they locked his account until he does.

Hard to say with the lack of information. "I can't log in. It must be SE's fault!"

Caps lock?
