Final Fantasy XI Then...

[C']

PS2 is still the most popular format in Japan for the game which is what stops them ditching support for it.

Perhaps if the PS3 had sold more than 2 machines a week in Japan S-E could have justified transferring across but thinngs haven't worked out that way.

To be fair, when I suggested that SE help to stabilise the economy, I mean exactly that - I don't want them to impose something stupid like a pricing cap or some such rubbish. My problem with it, is just how wild the price fluctuations get. An item might be selling for 400k one day, and suddenly jump by 200k the following day, yet at the same time the item you're farming either drops in value or sees no increase. While I admit that this isn't a problem SE can address directly, they can ease it certainly.

And as for endgame stuff, I don't recall mentioning that at all in my last post. I'm currently involved with a once weekly Nyzul Isle static and unfortunately, that's all I can fully commit to right now - free time is something I've had less and less of over the past few months.

Rare, if you haven't done the Wings Missions yet, i would not read about the December update. There's 4 major plot spoliers in there. Well done S-E .

I personally have to say the economy is sound and those wild price fluctuations you mention are engineered by players, I know I do it with certain other people to move people out of our markets and control supply.

Been a while since I bothered mind but its easy to crash a price then restore it whilst caning gil from those that don't get it

BTW BLM 72 ^^ and in serious danger of a hauteclaire!

Umm, you're joking right. You complain about the state of the economy but recently you refused to sell your black cloak to me for 25k which was the full history price and instead you sold it for 50k on the Auction House because there were none in.

[Daragon]

To be fair, I don't call that a wild price fluctuation

It's when players think that it's ok to double prices on everything, just because certain items happen to double in value through percentages.

Take that black cloak for example - it sold at double it's AH value (at the time). At the end of the day however, that's only another 25k - it's when we have items like Haubergeons or Dusk gloves that double in value over the space of a day or so, just because players think it's acceptable to do that because of items they want to buy (like that cloak) doubled in value.

Bunch of gimps what you doing with Black Cloak's, Demon's Cloak only

Stupid Aspi failed to cough me up a Dalmatica again, it hates me I swear at least last kill it dropped a W Body fo us.

[Daragon]

And from a no drop, to a win drop ^^

Eastern Shadow from this evening's Nyzul Isle run coughed up a Vali's Bow, which VERY kindly was offered to me so a big thanks once again to Rare, Hudoo, Nimphedel, Godslayer and Blastman - many <3s to you all Nyzul Isle has been a real turning point for me with the game, hopefully it's a sign that someone up there actually DOES like me

Now I just have another 4 and a half painful levels of exp to sit through before it's ready for endgame.

[C']

We've had 2 decent appraisals out of how many now? Still can't complain about walking away from Nyzul Isle with Serket Rings or Vali's Bow. You don't go into these thinsg expecting those items so they are nice bonuses.

Was a nice run overall I think with full progress on everyone else's disc and Hudoo getting Askar feet. Took every ounce of my good will to pass on that rather than allow me to sell on the Eurytos' Bow but I knew giving it to you after your promise to finish off RNG to help us with ToAU Nyzul bosses was the right thing to do, which is why I checked if all members were ok with passing it on to you.

I just hope we get some Goliard drops soon. I feel for Godslayer especially. He seems to die in these things an awful lot so it would be nice for him to get an armour drop.

[Daragon]

I just hope RNG is actually GOING to be helpful for them - I'm sure it'll provide more DPS than my THF will, but then again a BRD set to melee mode would probably out DD my THF lol.

[C']

It will. RNG won't be too hot for climbing the floors most likely but it will definitely be better than THF for the bosses.

I can't remember if Nyzul is perpetual Light weather but if it is, Othinus' Bow and Holy Bolts with some MND gear may be best gear for the weak mobs on the majority of floors, then switch to Vali's Bow and Demon Arrows for bosses.

It's been around 18 months since I last logged in, reckon my characters are still active?

There should be a way of checking before paying for a month's play.

[Daragon]

And I've just remembered that my WAR is currently sat at 33

Looks like I'm taking that to 37 first...

Anyone want to lvl synch exp this evening and zerg a few levels? ^^

There must be something in POL you can check, failing that a phone call or email would probably do.
