Technical issues identified following Update(12/15)

Regarding the update on 2003/12/15, the following technical issues have been identified and are being investigated. Another post will be made when these issues have been rectified.

-With regards to the windows edition, Final Fantasy XI along with the PlayOnline Viewer force quits when a player is in a Moghouse and tries to use the controller, "TAB", or "0" key to target.

-> It is possible to circumvent this problem by using the mouse or the "F8" key to target. Please try this workaround to remove yourself from the Moghouse. If this does not work, please make a GM Call via the Support Desk.

-Macros having the "Ctrl" or "Alt" key bound to them have a slower response time.

-> This issue has been confirmed, and is being worked on. At this point there is known workaround, and we ask that players enter the commands in manually.

-Notorious Monsters in Fei'Yin have been reported to be able to attack players on another floor.

->Condition has been confirmed, and is being rectified.

We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you.
