Open "PlayOnline"
Run Update (If prompted)
- Click "For PlayOnline Members"
- Setup your already registered account. If you're just trying to update FFXI for now, just create a random username, but for POL ID: ABCD1234 (it doesn't matter)
- When on the screen where you would click to login to said previous ID, click on "Check Files" on the left.
- Click "Playonline" and then a dropdown appears, click "Final Fantasy XI"
- Expect this to take a long time.
-- If you're using this on a PRIVATE server, you need to copy the "data" folder from the PlayOnline folder into the Final Fantasy XI folder (Don't forget this)
IE: C:Program FilesSquare EnixPlayOnline
Select "data" and "copy"
Open C:Program FilesSqare EnixFinal Fantasy XI
Paste.
Then proceed as your server's instructions/launcher/entails.
