I was very excited about this deal so i went to the website on the first day of Part II and I put in all my info several times to get an Error saying that i never played FFXI.

My friend did the same thing, but he got curious and went onto POL to see if he could reactivate his char the normal way, mind you we both cancelled our Content IDs in January. He was able to reactivate his char despite what the Part II website said. I was also able to do this and this should solve the problem for people whom the website said never played XI before the website does nothing go into POL and try it out

Any idea what it means when it says that FFXI services were not used? My friend got his drg to lv 50, so they were defintely used, but he got this message. Please help

If I lost my registration keys but my POL ID is still valid after 2 months, can I just buy a new copy of the game and try out the Comeback part 2? Has anyone tried it out?

it blows

the end

complete b/s requirements, nice work SE....good job^^
<sigh>

The deal with this B.S. is all about the Content ID...

In order to get your deleted character back, the content ID that that character was on has to have been cancelled and NEVER USED AGAIN... (and that content ID cant be reactivated by you through the content ID screen under POL... meaning the content ID is gone too)

If you are getting the error that states you never used FFXI services then that would mean that you are screwed.

Also, if you create another guy on that same content ID at anytime after you delete the guy you want back.... you CAN NOT get the original guy back through this campaign.

Another thing.... if you used Content ID A for a main character and then deleted the character and then deleted Content ID A and then went away for months on end... only to come back 90+ days to play again, so you reactivate your Content ID A (which believe it or not is kept a lot longer than 90 days), but you are too late to get your original character back... then you are told by POL reps to leave Content ID A open so your undeleted guy can be put back onto that in June... so you leave it open (not cancelled), and then in June you find out that the Reps had no clue what they were talking about in April because the campaign needs a cancelled/deleted Content ID A to put your original guy on, and you are insanely upset about the whole deal and there isnt a damn thing you can do about it. :'(

I really hope POL and Square sees (and hears from) all the people that was hoping to get their guys back and cant just because of one little simple thing like a cancelled Content ID...

Changing the rules at the finish line is NOT cool.

One interesting thing to be noted from this program is that NA Beta testers can get their characters back via this program. I must say I was quite surprised to see my old beta characters listed when I went to reactivate some old retail chars. All the beta characters seem to be put on Asura. Does this mean Cactaur (beta server) became Asura? Admitedly, reactivating beta chars, few who got far or had that great of items, seems kinda silly, but it is an interesting curiousity.

Its good to see that the reraises I cast on my characters before letting them go before seemed to work ^^;

i'm having serious problems with this, now, as much as i wanted to come back, i am reminded how stupid this all is, i should fall into part 2, but when i complete it it says that i never played ffxi before i cancelled my playonline account, meaning, i never played ffxi and my playonline account is cancelled, which both are wrong, so i figured if it read it like that, i'd try part 1, so i did and it told me i was ineligible for that because my playonline account was still active, kinda an oxymoron eh? well all damnation and hell on square as far as i'm concerned right now
