PlayOnline Viewer Update (Apr. 19)

At the following time, we performed a PlayOnline Viewer version update. *The client update will start automatically after connecting to PlayOnline. Please follow the instructions that appear on your screen. [Date & Time] Apr. 19, 2005 from 0:00 (PDT) [Affected Services] PlayOnline Viewer [Important Update Details] - Friends on "My Friend List" are now shown as being online only when both parties are using the same handles they used for friend registration. *This is basically the same environment as the "Friends Only" privacy setting before March 2005. - A function has been added to the Handle List where unlinked Content IDs can be linked when launching the game from the PlayOnline Viewer. To elaborate, when there is only one handle registered, all Content IDs will automatically be linked to that handle. If there are multiple handles registered, the PlayOnline Viewer Handle List screen will be displayed. - Fixed an issue where chat functions became unavailable when the user moved to a version update screen during a group chat, then cancelled the version update. - Added a process that checks whether the installed software is a beta version or an official version upon launch of contents. - Fixed some other minor issues. [Notes] The PlayOnline version update will modify the "pol.exe" file. Certain security/antivirus software may issue a warning, but this is a normal part of the version update process. (Windows version only.)

It's one thing to pay for a game if you actually get to play it, but I think FF is becoming rediculous. Between the hackers and the constant technical difficulties, I wonder if it's even worth the trouble.

I've been waiting to lvl my BST for the new exp update (BST61). Would be awesome if i got into 62 w/ nice buffer, but i doubt that will be the case. And oh what about my Ninja(75)? What does it get? Probably a big bowl of Nutin :>

Distrubited Denial of Service, where someone takes control over several hundred or even thousands of computers around the world, and executes a script to send thousands of packets of, well nothing, to the target of their choice, causing the target to be lagged out by trying to sort all these packets of nothing, but they keep coming and it is tricky to stop them :)

Same here... Logged on to POL, got the update, POL Viewer restarted...nothing since, except for a stupid error message (POL0206) telling me the network might be busy or there are connection problems. <sigh>

Next time, I will send them an error message telling them my bank account might be slightly unavailable or that there are payment problems.
