So I tried to create 15 mules for myself, and now I get "The handle is already linked to 8 Content IDs. Display Handle List?"

When I go to the handle list, it doesn't give me any options that are obviously useful.

Ffxi worked fine before this, but now it won't even let me log in. How do I fix this? ;-;

You can only have 8 characters attached to a handle

You need 2 handles to make 16 accounts.

Speaking of, you already missed the first day, you can't miss many if you want all 50 shells

So how do I attach them to handle? Is that done in ffxi account manager or pol?

POL, when you pay for 16 accounts, when you try to log in it will say;

Unlinked accounts! do you want to "whatever the *** it asks you to do"

It literally says "The handle is already linked to 8 Content IDs. Display Handle List?", but doesn't tell me how to link characters.

I can attest to that. Happens to one of my mules every goddamn time there's a free login campaign. So annoying.

So I'll be able to make up to 15 mules on this one account, even though the mules tie under 2 different "handles" in the POL?

Hello, I am at a loss here;

I only have 1 main character, not alts on my accounts. However, I keep getting

"The handle "Otomis" is already linked to 8 content IDs.
Display Handle List?"

I click yes

8 characters show linked to content ID, all have blank, non retrievable information and show no name. Only one shows Otomis, which is my character.

I have had this account since pre order release. Unsure why it is like this now.

When I attempt to delete the handles, they will delete but magickly reappear when content list updates after hitting back.

I created new handle but will not allow me to transfer Otomis to new handle and tells me, Otomis is already attached to a handle.

I am baffled. Never had this happen before.

Any help appreciated.

all IDs become active during free play. you need to make a secondary "handle" in POL and link the unlinked IDs to it.
