Sukasaroth,

We apologize for any problems that yourself and others were experiencing connecting to FINAL FANTASY XI. However, at the time indicated, we were not experiencing any server issues on our end; had we been, we would have made the appropriate announcement to the PlayOnline website and here on the official forums. It is possible that a portion of the connection between your regions and our servers in Japan was experiencing some sort of connectivity issue outside of our control.

If you are still experiencing these issues, please, feel free to let us know.
