The Final Fantasy XI Team Answers Your Questions! (02/10/2011)The FINAL FANTASY XI community is ever abuzz with discussion on in-game content. Today, the development and operations teams return to address some of our fans' most pressing questions and concerns in FAQ format.
Q: I've been hearing a lot about the February minor version update lately, but when will it take place exactly?
A: If all goes according to schedule, the version update will go live on Monday, February 14 (PST). We thank you for your patience.
Q: I really want to see some items added to the Mog Bonanza prize list—it'd make participating in the event so much more exciting for me!
A: The Mog Bonanza has grown to become a much-loved event in Vana'diel since its inception, and nothing would give us more pleasure than to add to the richness of players' bonanza experience. As such, we have decided to accept adventurer nominations for new prize items to be added to the event. As a follower of the official FINAL FANTASY XI Twitter account, simply tweet up to three items of your heart's desire and include the hashtag "#mogbonanza". Nominations will be accepted until Sunday, February 13, at 10pm (PST).
Q: Are there any plans to make notorious monsters more accessible, and battling them more rewarding?
A: We have received many requests concerning notorious monsters, some of the most popular being the alleviation of pop conditions, reduced repop times, and improved treasure drop rates. We are working to address these concerns over multiple patches, starting with the next major version update. Details will be revealed as soon as the pertinent particulars are ironed out, so stay tuned!
Q: Oh, the Twilight God strike me down! Had I only known that a glorious day such as the February minor version update would come when Artifact Armor could be entrusted to Porter Moogles—the Goddess bless their gentle hearts—I never would have dreamed of casting aside my hard-won set! Will my beloved equipment be lost to me forever? *Sniff*
A: We understand all too well the pain of being parted with one's preciouses, and are considering ways to allow adventurers to reunite with their hard-earned Artifact Armor. Although we are unable to apprise you of a time frame right now, we can say that miracles come to those who possess patience and faith in equal amounts.
Q: My bags and cupboards are near to bursting with Kindred's crests and other like baubles! Won't a kindly and trustworthy soul appear who would take on the burden of their safekeeping in my stead?
A: Many a grievance has been forwarded to us regarding storage woes, requesting that items such as Kindred's crests, Empyrean Armor upgrade seals, and Walk of Echoes coins be made storable with NPCs. We are currently exploring ways outside of traditional equipment storage NPCs to help adventurers clear up their inventory space, and expect to be able to make an announcement regarding this in the near future, so keep watching this space!
Q: Whenever my visitant status expires and I get kicked out of Abyssea, I find myself dispossessed of certain temporary items such as the Primeval Brew. Does this sound right to you?
A: An issue has been confirmed wherein players would lose some of their temporary items upon being evicted from Abyssea. This issue will be rectified in the minor version update scheduled for Monday, February 14 (PST).
Q: The Trial Log refuses to appear when I use my Magian Spectacles while in Abyssea – Uleguerand! Help!
A: An issue has been confirmed wherein the Trial Log would not appear in Heroes of Abyssea areas. This issue will be rectified in the minor version update scheduled for Monday, February 14 (PST).
Q: Performing text command searches for people in Abyssea – Uleguerand and Abyssea – Grauberg never results in any hits. What's the big idea?
A: An issue has been confirmed wherein the areas Abyssea - Uleguerand and Abyssea – Grauberg were not being covered by text command searches. This issue will be rectified in the minor version update scheduled for Monday, February 14 (PST).

More great Storage news!
Anyone else having problems understanding what this means?
Is it just someone whining that they can store their artifact armor? Really?

There was some information released a bit ago that told people there was an issue with storing items on a moogle. People didnt listen to it and the poof their items dissapeared. I think they are saying they are going to go back and give people back thier items for it.

Caution Concerning Use of "Moogle Storage Slip"
Recently, players have contacted us concerning an issue where storing an item with a Porter Moogle NPC while Trial of the Magians was in progress prevented further progress in the trial.
As noted in the FINAL FANTASY XI Version Update (Dec. 6), storing an item with a Porter Moogle NPC while Trial of the Magians is in progress will result in all trial insignias being erased from that item, requiring cancellation and restarting of the trial. Furthermore all items placed in the Delivery Crate up to that point will be lost.
Any items required for quest completion lost in this way cannot be restored by GM support, so we ask that you please take sufficient caution when using a "Moogle Storage Slip."
We are currently working on implementing changes to prevent such incidences from occurring in the next version update. Once the updates are implemented, players should no longer be able to store items with trial insignias using the "Moogle Storage Slip."

That's Empyrean Armor not Artifact Armor.

Adjust the resolution of menus.
The main screen resolution for "FINAL FANTASY XI" is dependent on the "Overlay Graphics Resolution" setting.
If the Overlay Graphics Resolution is set higher than the Menu Resolution, menus will be automatically resized.

There was some drama in the japanese announcment for this, but not nearly as much. they are just taking some ... artistic license.... maybe
all it says in japanese is along the lines of "What if I already threw it away? well, we're looking at ways to get it again, at least for the weapons so far..."

From what I take from it, folks have been tossing their AF they did not care for and only kept certain pieces. They would not of tossed the ones they did had there been a chance of storing single pieces, because the old system you had to store the entire set.
So the people that tossed their AF are now complaining that they would need to re-quest it, if they want to now store it and have it done for completeness sake, so SE is looking into a way to retrieve previously tossed out AF, like perhaps looking at your title and quests done and if they were done before, then just have a event moogle or npc just hand you a new set of gear.

Is that really so surprising? Before the level increase I needed inventory space and threw away a lot of outdated gear, including 4/5 of my relic set. Because of the assassin's armlets I could never keep the pieces in storage for long, and once I obtained my heca cap I had no practical use for the rest of it. I spent a lot of time inside dynamis getting my thf relic so just throwing away the armor felt like I wasted most of it. While outdated armor is no longer useful, to some of us it symbolizes effort and time we put into or character. This is time we can never get back, and from both a completionist's standpoint as well as a practical one it feels like we wasted our efforts when we just throw it away. Unfortunately item drops are not capable of being replaced so easily as quested rewards so in my case I'm out of luck, but nevertheless I as well as a lot of people never would have thrown out half the sh*t we did if we hadn't run into storage issues. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I wish I could have stored rather than tossed all the job specific stuff I did, because I spent so much time obtaining them and that meant something to me.

It also doesn't work with fellow NPC. But since SE reads the suggestions forum, they are already aware of it.
