Fun Fact: They had to go through 4 different builds of POL.exe to fix the problem. I connected with Ver.1.14.03d, after the update, they where up to ~.03h.
Stop Complaining

hey, it says that it doesn't interrupt gameplay so stop all the whining. sheesh. There is a word that many of you need to learn...it's called patience. I understand most of ya'll are kids who don't understand that not everything happens right away, but my god. come up with something new to post other than "another update? sheesh." Why don't you all go out and try to make a MMORPG on your own and deal with the hundreds of headaches that it causes. Then you might understand. But I doubt it.
another...

Another update of somthing that noone really seems to care about. I mean how long are people actually in the POL viewer before they log into their actual game? The last update only seemed to slow things down in the viewer.

Wow they sure have alot of updates.
Long patches for FFXI...

Recently the small patches take longer than the big patches! (I'm on cable)

The seven patch update a week ago took me five hours, the Major patch which added all the new stuff took me an hour, and the other small one took me two hours.

I hope this fixes it.
AGAIN?

um... Again?

what's wrong this time....
I know they did something yesterday....
but it seem they didn't fix the problem...

it was working fine before the update....
I wonder if this changing is good or for worst?

If you use the new FFXI shortcut (which you can get by selecting it in the FFXI config for Windows) the button to take you straight to FFXI shows up early on and you don't have to wait for the POL menu to load up, saving those precious seconds :)

Ya it was killing me last night... mybe i just need to learn patience.

Hopefully this will fix the extra 4-5 second loading time when POL connects before showing the new main menu. Not life-threatening, certainly, but it's nice that they're fixing it. ^^ If that's what they're doing, at least.
