Expansion Pack Data not installed?

So I finally got the expansion downloaded, did the usual install hit finish, registered expansion pack on Account site, and logged into the game updated, but it tells me

"Expansion pack data not installed, I'll be unable to access new areas"

Is that normal?..

Now I'm thinking is this because I play through steam and downloaded the expansion through the store? I'm so confused..

From start to finish why is dealing with XI downloads more complicated than doing my taxes? I'm not sure if I'm either totally set for Tmr. or not at all..
I would think the <Seekers> button on login wouldn't be greyed out?

I have the same problem.

Xpac servers aren't up yet. Everyone has this message. After tomorrow maint it'll go away

I saw this on the main page, so... yeah what does this mean?

FFXI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition Coming Soon to Steam (03/26/2013)

As we approach the release of FFXI: Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition, we wanted to provide an update to our customers in regards to product availability on Steam. We are working at full speed to ensure that we get FFXI: UCSE available on the Steam store as soon as possible for those of you that prefer to purchase games from Steam. However, knowing that there is a possibility that the Steam version will not be available for purchase on launch, we wanted to alert you as soon as we could.

We apologize for this inconvenience and will be sure to provide you with an update on the progress of the release of FFXI: UCSE on Steam very soon!

Even If I play the game, bought the download, and installed it all I had to buy through steam or buy the new Ultimate collection? Why is this so confusing...
