Hi Anne,
The best way to Update FF11 would be to follow this link. Anytime the client gets updated this process needs to be followed (Happens maybe once every 3 months and is much shorter after the first time)

Tips on this server:
1. You can access your Mog House's Sack/Satchel/Case anywhere. That's 150 instant slots to use.
2. You can put unlimited number of items on the AH. Just don't go to sales status.
3. Stay away from the giant winged Dragons that are randomly in the world. Those are OWNMs which are basically BCNMs but much harder, still level cap you and will kill you, they aggro on SIGHT.
4. Friend's List do not work, so create a Google doc to keep track of friends and also find a LS or 2. (Can equip 2)
5. There is a Chocobo Circuit which allows you to transfer from the main cities for 500 gil. Go from bastok to windy to sandy no problem.
6. Add Zeko to Google doc of friends list, that's me
55BST/37NIN/30WHM/30THF/18RDM/12BLM/5WAR7. Nasomi has extended length of a monster being EP. You can get 30 exp from monsters much longer than retail and it is worth it for the extra crystals/quick exp when 2-3 shotting something depending on Job.
8. Some jobs have broken mechanics. Right now PuP is not that useful, and BLU has some physical Magic issues.
