Because of several issues, including difficulty in connecting to certain zones as well as problems with the auction house and delivery services, all servers in PlayOnline and Square Enix's Final Fantasy XI (PC and Xbox 360) will be put under maintenance. Most of the issues have been occurring since April, so now's a good time to put an end to the problems caused by the bugs.
