Up and running for the next four months -- from December 18, 2008 to April 15, 2009 -- is long-running MMO Final Fantasy XI's "Return Home to Vana'diel" campaign.  This is a program that allows former FFXI players to reactivate PlayOnline accounts, reactivate Content IDs, and reactivate characters.  This time around, however, there's a bonus:  You aren't limited to only reactivating your last character.  The new campaign makes room for you to reactivate any previous and/or deleted character from your time in Vana'diel.  As a purely serendipitous act, today I'd picked up one of those $1.99 FFXI Starter Pack Game Discs (that come with a 30-day subscription) from GameStop.  This could all be a sign.

Another bonus:  If you created your restored character before 8:00 a.m. PST on May 28, 2008, then you'll receive the Anniversary Ring -- which grants a 100% experience points bonus.  All the better to catch up with the half a million people (not too shabby at all) still subscribed to this one.

LOS ANGELES (December 18, 2008) – Today, Square Enix, Inc. announced that they have reinstated the popular FINAL FANTASY® XI “Return Home to Vana’diel” campaign. Players with lapsed accounts, deleted Content IDs and deleted PlayOnline® accounts can now restore their favorite characters and dive back into the fight to restore peace to Vana’diel® once again.  

 

The restoration of the “Return Home to Vana’diel” service brings a new element not previously offered to fans. Players can now restore any deleted character they have created, rather than only being able to restore the last deleted character. Additionally, users who created their restored characters before 8:00AM PST on May 28th, 2008, can receive the highly coveted Anniversary Ring. The Anniversary Ring is a powerful asset in FINAL FANTASY XI, as it gives players the chance to receive experience point bonuses and level jobs with ease.
