There is a msg posted up on the lodestone saying they locked some players out who officially ended their games after Sept 29 but I guess that did not help the problem.

Regarding Login Restriction (11/10)

Currently, we are temporarily imposing login restriction on the players whose "End Date" is September 29, 2012 or before due to congestion. The restriction may be lifted when the congestion is eased.

The other players are able to log in to the game.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
Oh im gonna post up some of the pix once I get some rest. Should I post em here? or on the Community > Sarganatas> forum in a new thread started?
