Version Update Delay

Rolling blackouts and restrictions on public transportation have been implemented across eastern Japan as part of the earthquake and tsunami disaster relief effort. Consequently, we have chosen to delay the upcoming major version update initially planned for mid-April.

While the new release date has been provisionally revised to May, we are unable to provide a detailed schedule at this point in time. The previously announced world merger will likewise be postponed.

We would like to express our apologies to our players, and will do our utmost to keep you abreast of the latest developments. Thank you for your continued understanding in this difficult time.

----
Sincerely,

The FINAL FANTASY XI Team

Not surprising at all.

JP version says the merge may be held off until that time as well.

excuses, they r just lazy

**Shenrien** · 2011-03-16 03:14

they're only delaying it because they are not getting their monthly payment for April!

**Damane** · 2011-03-16 04:35

well that was expectable and is totally understandable.

Mid APril was the update.. wow I was way off.

**Zumi** · 2011-03-16 06:28

Seems like only 2 major updates per year now.

MaachaQ · 2011-03-16 06:51

Wow, I was expecting a delay, but May? Yikes...

**darkepyon** · 2011-03-16 06:54

They could still do 3 for all we know. May, July/August, November/December. Totally saw this coming.

I think you need to work on your counting skills.

**Hirronimus** · 2011-03-16 07:21

I paid for a full month of March. If I'm not playing in April, than obviously I'm not being charged, but if I have to pay for May, the least they can do is reimburse me for March.

**Hyan** · 2011-03-16 07:27

Well, as of right now you are playing in April.

**Hirronimus** · 2011-03-16 07:29

Not holding my breath

**Clash Perez** · 2011-03-16 07:38

If the down time stretches longer than a month, I'd would be highly surprised if they charged for it.

Weird, I think I remember them using the term "March update" a couple of times in tweets or stuff.

**Hirronimus** · 2011-03-16 07:57

It was

**Julian** · 2011-03-16 07:59

Yeah, seconding all the people who are pissed about the "April" update, which was supposed to be in fucking March.

**Hirronimus** · 2011-03-16 08:07

tbh I'm not pissed about update. I'm not running a charity for SE out of my wallet. I rather donate my money to relief effort for people of Japan.
