It's the eleventh of March, so everyone knows what that means.

What? Some are unaware that this day serves as a commemoration of all things XI in Vana'diel? Well, it is time to remedy that with a slew of promotions will pull the heartstrings of even the most jaded adventurers!

  • Campaign Period
Monday, March 10, 2014 at 8:00 a.m. (PDT) to Monday, March 17, 2014
* The conclusion of this campaign is scheduled to coincide with the server maintenance for the Tuesday, March 17 version update.


  • Event Details

The amount of experience earned by adventurers and their fellows will be doubled!

Wait what?

Wasn't last year the 11th anniversary?

Here's some older headlines from POL:
Announcing the "FINAL FANTASY XI: 10th Anniversary Concert"! (05/25/2012)


Thursday, August 8, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. to Friday, October 11, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.
In celebration of the eleventh FINAL FANTASY's eleventh year of service, we're giving away all three Abyssea battle area expansions, along with a few key items to help with your adventures there.
For those who have yet to trek into the otherworldly and violet-hued wilderness to obtain Empyrean equipment, unfurl the story by undertaking missions, or gain massive amounts of experience from the perverse foes within, now is the time!

They clearly defined this as the "11th vana'versary" celebration as you can see here:

So... in fantasy land do we get to celebrate the same birthday twice in one year?

Technically, it's still the 11th anniversary until May when the 12th anniversary arrives, but I wonder if the repeat login campaigns will continue after May.

An anniversary isn't a year long celebration, it's the celebration of the completion of a long year.

For example, New Years is celebration of the completion of a year, welcoming in the next. It might go on for a week or so, but the time frame is very relevant and you probably shouldn't be waiting for the ball to drop come February.

If we celebrated the 11th anniversary of FFXI in August of 2013, we probably shouldn't still be screaming about it come March 2014... it just makes the game look like it's crying for attention and has nothing else to say except "I'M STILL HERE, LOOK AT ME! I'M 11 NOW!"

You're being too particular. Relax.

No no no. When I feel compelled to treat a laser beam like it was a lollipop, I'll let you know
