Beta Update

[JonZenor]

Servers are back up, but they had to roll back character data to 7pm last night. There is also another patch, 9.52 MB in size.

At the following time, a new update for the FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version went live.

[Date & Time]
Sep. 6, 2010 at 2:00 (PDT)

[Affected Services]
FINAL FANTASY XIV

[Important Update Details]
- An issue where the game will forcefully shutdown in case multiple effects are being displayed by a mass number of characters has been addressed.

- An issue where the ripple effect is displayed improperly in case the character walks near the water has been addressed.

We were experiencing technical difficulties where players are unable to access FINAL FANTASY XIV, but we are happy to announce that these issues have been addressed.

However, a possibility of character data being broken due to the issues has been confirmed. To prevent any further damage, we have rolled the character data back to the data from Sep. 5, 2010 19:00 (PDT).
In case the character was created on affected worlds after the above hour, an error message will appear when you select the character on character selection menu. To address this issue, please delete the character and create again.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
