Hi everyone,


Today out of no where i have ended up with the below problem when i try log in at the screen where you select PLAY or BACK, if i click PLAY i get

The handle "my account" is already linked to 8 content ids. Display handle list?"


If i select yes it takes me to my handle screen where i have options to delete rename etc but not actually play the game, if i select no it takes me to the PLAY or BACK screen.


Anyone had this issue before?

Create a new handle > attach characters used > play ffxi. Worked for me.

Glad to see this wasn't only me, I thought I was going crazy lastnight trying to figure out what the hell was going on....How stupid! If you add the Id's to a new handle will you get charged for them?

You probably did like I did and tried to link more than 8 content ID's and or you deleted characters an created new ones. To fix this choose the create a New Handle option name it what ever you won't be using it anyway then chose the link option find the Un-named files and/or files with characters names you don't recognize or use anymore link them to the new handle. This will make it so they are no longer soft linked to your other handle and won't cause this issue anymore. Keep the Star on your old Handle so it is your main and your good to go.
