Return Home to Vana'diel Campaign

Welcome Back Campaigns provide previously deactivated Final Fantasy XI accounts to log in for free for a short period of time. These campaigns sometimes coincide with other ongoing Special Events that temporarily accelerate player advancement and progression through content.Return Home to Vana'diel Campaign
==Eligibility==
#Your PlayOnline account is transferred to Square Enix account.
#You must have an active PlayOnline/FINAL FANTASY XI service account.
#Character status under the inactive character options must be set to "Cancelled" status as of 72 hours before the start of the current campaign.Return Home to Vana'diel Campaign Eligibility (Account/Character Requirements)
===Technicalities===
* All characters created on the account will be available. This also affects currently-subscribed players who have cancelled secondary characters, as these characters will be unlocked for the duration of the campaign.
* Paid Mog Wardrobes will not be available. The players will be able to view the contents of the wardrobe but neither equip nor move gear into / out of them. Note that this does mean that if there is a rare item in a paid wardrobe, the player will not be able to have access it nor obtain it again. The only exception is currently-subscribed users with cancelled characters, in which case the cancelled characters will have access to the wardrobe the player is currently subscribed to.
* The end of the campaign does not affect players that are already logged-in. Players already logged-in when the campaign ends will be able to continue playing until they log out (attempting to switch character counts as logging out), their connection drops, or the server going down for maintenance, whichever comes first.
