Alright well I got it back working again by completely deleting everything a couple of times and re-installing, it finally worked, but it is still the trial version. Even launching it from Steam with my full Abyssea version it is still in the trial version. Any ideas on how to upgrade it properly to the Abyssea edition?

You have to register some codes, and then make sure to launch from the Steam version, since Steam obnoxiously does a separate (and sometimes troublesome) install.

I think I answered this somewhat earlier this month, although reading the thread this quote is from might also help:

To check which codes are associate with your account, go to the SE account management page, hit select service, FFXI, then hit "Options List" and scroll down. It should give you the options you have and their registration dates.

If you got a trial account, then got the game installed through Steam, Steam may have installed in a different location, meaning that you will have to launch from the Steam copy to access your installed copy that has the expansions if this is the case.

Well now I have it so that it works, but it only lets me play for like 2 minutes and then just freezes and kicks me off... In the time wasted getting this to work I could have been like level 30 by now hahahahaha. Damn it I just want to play. I honestly don't know what else to do so I just deleted the entire thing off Steam again and I am going to try downloading the PoL viewer straight from the FF11 page and then just trying it from there and hoping if that works.
