As it currently stands, there is no 'official' Ultima Linkshell in FFXIV as it was in FFXI. Most people have split up into new groups with a few people clumping together in various servers.

The original Nakama LS from Valefor can be found here:

http://www.thenakamals.net/ - there are number of familiar faces floating around.

That said; if anyone here wants to carry on the Ultima Linkshell into FFXIV, please let me know and we'll make arrangements for whomever to promote and manage this site on a more daily basis.

I won't be doing any further updates or modifications to this site for FFXIV.

Best of luck to you all in FFXIV! :) ]]> General Discussion Aangeliceus http://www.ultimals.com/forums/general-discussion/11034-ffxiv-ultima-linkshell.html http://www.ultimals.com/forums/news-information/11027-job-adjustments-part-ii.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:50:01 GMT As previously announced, the September version update will see the unveiling of a variety of new job abilities, traits, and spells.

Dear Users,

It is both an honor and pleasure to give this address as the newly appointed director of FINAL FANTASY XI.

With the commencement of official service for FINAL FANTASY XIV imminent, the period ahead will prove to be a turning point for FINAL FANTASY XI. I have had the privilege of being part of the team since the project commenced some ten years ago, but to assume the mantle of leadership at this juncture is daunting indeed.

As director, I intend to work in close cooperation with all project members and involved parties to ensure that FINAL FANTASY XI will continue to hold allure for our players. For truly, nothing would please me more than to see Vana'diel remain a gathering place for those seeking high adventure and camaraderie.

I look forward to your continued support in the future.

Akihiko Matsui
Director, FINAL FANTASY XI

We have also confirmed the case where they try to redirect users to suspicious website by sending an URL inside the game with a message saying that user agreement violation or billing issue has been confirmed. Please note that Square Enix representative (Game Master (GM) staff included) will never ask players to log into an external website within the game.

If you experience such a request while in-game, please report the matter to a GM immediately.

Keep your data safe! Keep the PlayOnline ID and password secure!
