In responce to Apathye's post, I should be fine for that CoP Mission on Saturday.

Cheers Wedge.

Looks like we have a really nice and balanced party setup for this.

Apathye ? BLM/whm
Moot ? WAR/nin
Mosley ? WHM/smn
Rarehero ? NIN/war
Tobal ? SAM/??? (although I think I heard mention he may come as THF/nin)
Wedgemoon ? BRD/whm

I appreciate that 11am is an early start for this but with Apathye working later on in the day it is important for us to get going as soon as possible.

CoP I may be able to join later, I'm playing in the avo so will be out till 3 or 4.

Few updates on my own personal goals:

Got my Pso'Xja map
Got my Pso'Xja pass
NPC has dinged 38
Completed Teleport-Vahzl quest
Completed Blue Ribbon Blues quest
Started Tea with a Tonbeerry quest
Start Timely Visit Quest

Oh and died twice there goes 4800 xp ^^

Thief is very useful for the map hunting, lock picking will save a lot of farming

Is that just the minotaur or are you doing the subligars at 11am as well?

[C']

Just minotaur in the morning (as Apa cannot be online in the evening).

The run for subligars and other goodies should hopefully be in the evening.

;;;;;;;;; after the PoL update yesterday i havnt been able to login. Im not sure whats wrong all the ports are open and the internet is working properly. But I still cant mange to get past the "Checking PO viewer vision" part ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;.

[Hohum]

If you are using a software firewall then you need to re-setup permission for the pol executable.

[Apathye]

have done;

Can you run the Check Files option? Could have go corrupted. Failing that, could be a reinstall in order. I think Tobal can tell you how to backup the update files so you don't have to fully update again after reinstall.

Square Enix is planning to bring Treasures of Aht Urhgan, the third expansion pack for PC MMO Final Fantasy XI and bane of spellcheckers everywhere, to Europe and other PAL places on April 20th, just two days after its American release. And yes, that is a Thursday and not a Friday. What's more, Final Fantasy XI for Xbox 360 will launch on the same day, April 20th, in both Europe and Japan.

FFXI's already had two expansions (Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia), and this third one deals with the legendary "Aht Urhgan Empire", introduces new jobs (including Blue Mage and Corsair) and adds some new areas and monsters (including the Mamool Ja tribe of beastmen).

It's also worth noting that the Xbox 360 version isn't just FFXI but FFXI including all three expansion packs - even this Aht Urhgan spelling catastrophe - and requires the hard disk drive to play.

So, April 20th for Treasures of Aht Urhgan and as expected, the 360 version will ship with all three expansions.

Expensive week. PC expansion and 360 version -_-;

I hope character ARE NOT transferrable from the Hydra server.

That way it will piss a lot of the dick-heads off, as well as open up a few fresh servers I'm hoping. With the amount of time I'll put in I should be able to stay well ahead of the pack and keep up there with the decent players.

Hydra is polluted beyond repair.

I would think its highly likely that many 'casual' players won't continue once they have to pay ?40-?50 for the retail game then the ?8 monthly fee to be honest.

O_o

is it really that bad? You get annoying twats everywhere... we've all had bad dunes experiences and witnessed fanboy flamewars in Jeuno after all.

Last night I was THIS CLOSE to destroying my beta copy and erasing my saves.

I can put up with spam and general bad manners.

I ended up with less EXP than two nights ago as it's totally IMPOSSIBLE to find a decent team of LVLs 8-12 with any form of competence.

WARs don't voke, WHMs (if you're lucky enough to find one) only heal themselves, MNKs try and look cool by circling their enemy instead of staying still, and NO ONE chats - it's impossible to play and progress, or even give advice. I can only imagine the frolics in the dunes....

Last night I was speaking to Tickle when the WAR in my group decided to take on a very tough Quadav on his own, absolutely MILES away, without warning anybody - he then party chats for help when he has 20HP left and says "thnx Fallows" after he dies.

I have, however, given up on lvling my THF as it's total waste of time. If I put 6 hours in tonight I'm sure to end up on the same EXP (or even less) than what I started with at the beginning of the night. I spoke to my FFXI experienced friend 'Norak' (that I met when partying at WAR16-20) when I was about to quit and he reassured me to give up on the sub as the earlier part of the game is now broken with so many newbies, he left his MNK at lvl.11 as he couldn't possibly take it any farther without soloing for 20EXP every 30mins.

It's such a shame - I'm gonna have to leave 'sneak attack' until after the beta is finished.

I could try and lvl THF to 11 again when I'm about to hit WAR22.

If I hadn't put over 140 hours into this over the past two weeks I would have surely lost my rag and thrown it out the window by now.
