Long ago, I bought FFXI, but didn't play it much. But I did log in during the free trial period, so I have a Playonline ID / password.

Now, with FFXIV shut down, I thought I'd give XI a try again.

But alas, I can't get in. My game is registered with the codes that came in the box, so I can't just create a new account. I have to log in to the old one.

Thankfully I wrote down my PO ID, but not the password.
And now I read that I have to link my PO ID to my SE account?

Can someone tell me in baby language, how to log into Playonline?!

THANKS! O_O;;;

PS: I'd write this in the FFXI forums, but I can't log in without that darn password it seems... I wish SE had a way to reset passwords like everyone else do.
