I came home from work, cracked a cold six-pack of Diet Pepsi, and got ready for a gaming session. My internet is fine, my bill is paid, but PlayOnline will not let me connect to the server.

They keep saying: Network is busy or there are connection problems. Please try again later or verify that cables, networking devices and network settings are properly configured.

Is anybody else having a similar issue with logging in to PlayOnline?

I'm not sure what time the maintenance is today. I just tried logging in a few minutes ago, myself. And yeah, same thing.

Probably just has something to do with the maintenance.

EDIT: Okay, yeah, it started about 45 minutes ago and won't be done until about 1am PDT, which means 3am my time.

Actually the page one would normally look at says precisely *** about maintenance. Not even any mention of it, but the 'server status' still says Up.

So yeah, it's no wonder most of us are saying 'WTF is 0206?'

Does not imply in any way 'total service outage for maintenance'. They've pushed updates without or with very short maintenance plenty of times in the past. Should be roughly the time it takes to transfer a paltry amount of data, check the hash, restart the servers, and double check that everything is up.

Why is it POL maintenance as opposed to FFXI maintenance anyway?

Resolved Issues

The following issues have been corrected:
The issue wherein closing a map while the main menu was open would also result in exiting the main menu.

So happy this is being fixed, been bugging me so much lately. Finally an update I am looking forward to!

In all fairness to people asking about the error code, the POL website does say that the servers are up and running. If the Error code was a link to an explanation this would stop anyone from asking.

However on the other hand... it was pretty widely known that there was a maintenance today.

0206 (which is coming up on mine also) is for one reason only.Its saying HA!!! You thought by having maint overnight it meant you could download your files while sleeping and therefore could play first thing in the morning.WRONG!!!! why would we maint in JP prime time and allow you to play in the same time frame.
