All Worlds Login Recovery (May 27)

We have experienced FINAL FANTASY XI login, auction house, and search difficulties during the time shown below due to a DDoS attack from anonymous third parties. However, the recovery process is now complete.

To take counter-measures on the DDoS attack that has been occurring since Apr. 2005, we will continue to monitor the servers and continue to investigate with cooperation from various other sources.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
