Playonline update?

[matt4684]

Just opened POL and got an update screen I've never seen before, then after POL restarted I had to register user name/acct info before being able to log in. Naturally there are updated terms of use to accept, not sure what the changed on those. Anyone else have a POL/terms of service update? Haven't seen any other threads about this so figured I'd ask.

Visited any FFXI related sites lately besides BG?

just ffxiah

Hm, weird, I would say scan for viruses and all that good stuff. Someone else mentioned this happening the other day, and people pointed out it was the first POL screen you ever see (if I remember correctly.)

This happened to me before once. Nothing happened to me. But when it happened my power in the house went out. And when I logged back in all of my font colors/filters were reset. And all my macro books lost their names.

It definitely resembled the first ffxiah screen ever. Not that I recall what it looked like as that was years ago that I saw it, but jut based on content.

All my macroes seem to work, so not sure what happened. Just thought it was odd, since it plagued both windower and official versions

This just happened to me too; very strange. I haven't visited anything other than BG and ffxiah as well.

Tbh I think you guys are fine. This happened to me months and months ago and I got paranoid, ran an entire system scan and found nothing. I also use firefox with adblock, no script etc (Everything I should be using.) Just seemed like a weird occurrence and I blamed it on my pc.

Same happened to me, <3 macro / filter adjustments backups.

Anyone else not able to log in? I disconneceted like an hour ago weirdly, i had the red-dot but was still able to chat and see people curing etc then disconnected after ~30 seconds of red-dot.

Tried logging back in and get to 'retrieving friend list data' and then get various error messages. Got pol-0011 and pol-0260 to name two.

Yes i have token/firefox/noscript/only been on bg/wiki/ffxiah etc.

Yeah I figured to a certain degree this was paranoia considering how many folks have gotten their accounts stolen. Just seemed odd since this was the first time it's happened since I started playing in 2005/06.

and no problems logging in with me
