DANGER DANGER DANGER You have paid for Error Code: POL-0011 And will not be able to play!

I wonder how many dollars it is a day they gain by not allowing us access to play?

Lets see just my ls has at least 35 main charecters at 12 dollars a month and I know 20 have atleast 3 mules. so 480 dollars from just our ls for a month so 16 dollars a day just from our LS not to play. From when i been able to login I do sea all and usually get about 2360 people on fenrir so say 28,320 a month with out mules with each having 3 mules wich is most likely but I have 7 you get 35,400 a month so 1,180 dollars a day just from fenrir and i am sure its alot higher.

how many servers are there?
If there were 7 it would be 8,260 dollars a day or 247,800 dollars a month. this is all reacuring income for SE we all or most of us had to spend 100 dollars on a hard drive or 39.99 for software for the windows verson of the game.

Forgive me if I am wrong but thats a is a lot of money for not being able to play and I am very sure its alot higher since euro dollar is more than ours.

Is this all due to being able to track gil so that it can be sold? I know there bugs but what is that test server for on the list?

Just a few things for any one to ponder while its down This has been a public broadcast message from Quickarrow lol :)

Complain in the proper format

If we're really going to get SE to get its act together, the best place to do it is the complaint forms on the POL website. Just cursing them on Alla (while fun) isn't going to convince these morons to do anything useful unless it appears their livelihood might be affected. So submit all complaints about maintenance, level caps, ets. to their comments email form. Let's get them to do this game right.
no its not

its not fixed on shiva yet no one i know personally can log into POL get error 0011. this is rediculous. they have made no attempt to accomidate the user end egreement. we are consumers of a non-sympathetic company. there should eb some kind of compensation towards the affected customers, a free vermy would be nice xD
will it ever be fixed

For a week now I have had continuous problems looging in. If it not another update it is not being able to log in. Ok once a month is ok to live with but every day? For a week now this game has been a waste of space on my HD however I am sure my fee has been put to good use :(
One more week of this and I will just go find a different game to play.

RAMUH server
There's gotta be more!

I know this game is very complicated and very big. But to have this many updates is ridiculous in such a short time period is ridiculous. They are definitely handling the update situation in a horrible way. Someone suggested firing the entire team. It's really management that needs to get the ax.

They should be testing these fixes better and applying the updates on a real schedule and not just when they want to do it. I understand emergency updating but at the same time if you have updates on an almost daily basis then "emergency" loses its meaning.

For me, I don't know how bad this update issue is compared to before Sunday, April 24, 2005. I just got the damn game on Friday and finally got the whole thing installed and working on Sunday. I promise you I have already spent more hours getting the game to work than I have spent actually playing it including 14 hours of initial updates.

I think Square needs to put some money back into the players' pockets. It's just not right to do this to people. Before folks start commenting from "inside the box" as I have seen before please note that other industries give back money for down time and inconveniences. Square needs to start doing so as well before those class action lawsuits start flying. I am too busy to get that upset.

Customer Claim

I don't know why the FFXI hosting server cannot do maintanence in the backgroud and not affecting the users. We as a customer has paid the subscription fee already. This is rediculous. Anyway, I would suggest the development team pay more attention on system avaliability.
I hate this

POL-0011 are you getting this?
# Apr 26 2005 at 8:07 AM Rating: Decent
Ever since the updates/emergency maintenance we are getting CONSTANT POL-0011 (unable to connect, network may be busy, etc) errors. This used to happen on occasion. Now we can count on it as an absolute for at least 5 hours a day (in the mornings EST) which of course is when I have time to game.

Anybody else having similar problems? If it makes a difference, I'm on Kujata.

This is getting ridiculous. First it was three days for a 25MB patch. Then it was "emergency maintenance" 2 days after that. Now POL has been unvailable for two mornings in a row.

What is going on?

Ok I love this game. I really hate the customer support. For a week and a half now I can't sign in between 8am and 3pm Eastern Standard time and seeing they don't open untill 1pm my time. I am normally working by then and cant call them I really wish they would do a better job updating there web site and that they would open an eastcoast branch so I can call someone. Oh well enough of my complaining now I am going to try and sign on to playonline.
POL/FFXI Down?

Well the update occurred on April 25, not April 26 which would be tonight.

I updated this morning and was able to log into my main character but when I went to switch to a mule I received an error message trying to get back into FFXI. I started doing some other things on my computer but later on (around 6:30 CT) it kicked me from POL entirely. It is now past 7:15 CT and I can't get into POL and the POL website indicates that all the servers are up. Doesn't make sense to me.

I am getting so sick of this, we pay $13.95+/month and we can't even sign on for a portion of it. I feel cheated and I am going to read the ToS (I hope some of you do too) to see if their's some part of it being broken right now, because this is bullcrap.

Um I seriously doubt that course of action would do anything to remedy the plague of annoyances we've had as of late. If anything canning the entire dev team would prolly make the problems worse and more frequent. First they would have to hire an completely new team or allocate them from other parts of the company which would mean the game would suffer terribly if any problems occured during the transition. It would also inevitably put the game into the hands of people who may not have had any experience with the development of the game up to now and thus when problems crop up it might take even LONGER to fix
