The virtual world of Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urghan has been experiencing some "real world problems" as congestion and overcrowding are becoming a problem in the city of Al Zahbi. To address this issue, the development team has introduced a series of taxes on Auction Houses and Bazaars, and made adjustments to the Besieged. Theses improvements, as well as upcoming Mog Locker expansion, will hopefully lessen overcrowding in the new towns.

The "Mog Locker" is for players wishing to explore new areas of Aht Urghan. Currently, the capacity is limited to 50 items, but this restriction should be lifted in the next update. In addition, players should be able to use their Lockers from anywhere in Vana'diel, although this will shorten the time of the lease. You will, however, be able to renew the lease (for One Imperial Bronze) from any location.

Other upcoming features:

- The Chocobo Stables in Al Zahbi will open for use. Players will be able to rent a chocobo and ride out into the Wajaom Woodlands, but beware; if the stables are captured during Beseiged, the chocobos will be disabled until rescued.

- New NPC's ones for equipment storage, special event item storage, weather forecast, as well as a "Pursuivant" NPC to transport players to Brenner and Ballista matches.

- The number of special event items that can be stored will be increased.
