SE announced another new game event to go along with Assault. Besieged will see us defending in the streets of cities and towns from beastmen attack.

Interesting comment to post on the 608th page of discussion about FFXI...

mine? was a joke... personally don't like rpgs but am hardly gonna exclaim they're all **** for that reason nor knock anyone for liking them. just think it's mad that dave has spent so much time on them recently, literally every time i sign onto live he's there on ff.......................

I think we all just wondered exactly what kind of "games" you two (dudes?) were thinking about with the reference "make sure you visit my place and we'll get you playing some proper games" O.o

Don't you know that people who play MMORPG's have perverted minds...

...apparantly

Is there any space left in this ENM group for tonight?

If so, could I join up? These runs are always good fun.

EDIT: I'm in work until 2000 tonight, so I'll try to get to the Crag (if I can come along) as soon as I can. I'll try not to delay the run too much, but apologies in advance if I do.

We are still one member short as far as I know so if you are available near the given time slot then feel free to join us. I realise Rargh! usually operate on start time +1 hour but believe it or not we started pretty nearly on time last week !!!

Things were getting serious.

Washing hadn't been done in 5 weeks. Wasn't eating as I didn't have anything to eat off of. Resorted to eating tinned food out-of-the-tin.

Carpet looks like it's out of a nightclub due to lack of vacuuming this year.

I'd stopped going to the gym and I've lost around 1/2 a stone.

for the past 3 weekends I've played for 56/57 hours solidly - Friday 4/5pm all the way though to Monday 1/2am. As well as 9-10 hours every working day.

I've become addicted to sleep deprivation like some sort of drug - I'm floating around all day, drifting, neither asleep nor awake. Somehow the only time I'm bursting with energy is when I'm playing FFXI.

It's a shame I'm putting it on hold - just got hold of some awesome gear after a phase of being totally skint.

You really don't have to do that to yourself to get a lot out of the game. Get onto Seraph and give it a shot. You just need to remember its an ongoing experience and not a race to see how quickly you can get to Lv75. The most enjoyment is gained from doing fun things with your friends.

not those kind anyway...!!

[Darwock]

Jesus that was almost comical it went so badly. Apart from the delayed start due to the confusion over the 6th member, then Daragon & Saerik going to the wrong crag, then the moment we got started my connection dieing completely, then taking about 20 minutes for me to cross the second floor due to a constant R0 from me again, a fake MR, Tobal not having the censer for the final battle and having to sit it out, me being unprepared for multiple astral flow attacks due to the ease we beat it last week, getting hit by paralysis just as I regained enough MP for my second blood pact and losing it for another 60 seconds, then losing my avatar the moment those 60 seconds passed... I mean despite all of that it was a successful evening!

I got the 3rd AF out uninterrupted just at the crunch I think, certainly I was going to die with one more hit, don't know about the rest of you.


edit - the good news is I still have my Jade Cryptex for a Norvallen garrison, and Windy have control this week. I also have one for Li'Telor, and Windy are currently on track to take that next week.. so that may be an option too. I've also got Kolshushu but not much chance of that going our way soon.

After looking for this game new through the crappy EU website I was looking on ebay and preowned, is this possible or is there a unique key that would possibly make the preowned version useless to me?

[talizker]

Good Job everyone on the ENM last night. Especially good in the BC with no Tank. Thank god for the SMN ^^

I would like to clarify that I go out of my way to make sure I am fully prepared, in the right place, at the right time for Linkshell event. Appologies if anyone has a problem with me logging in at the start point 5 minutes after the hoped start time, I for one would be incredibly happy if all LS events started a mere 5 minutes after the planned time.

From Vani's and my posts, I was fully expecting him to be included in the party unless we heard otherwise and was happy to wait a reasonable amount of time as he had wanted in.

It was a god damn nightmare! With no hi-ether I had no option but to rest for MP, and I kept getting whacked by a wanderer! Still, makes things interesting - as we talked about last time I think the bite has been taken out of promyvion in a big way, so it's nice to have a tough one for a change. Could have done without the connection issues though, sorry about that.

What's the forecast for this garrison tonight then? Anyone interested?

[Tobal]

Well im up for it, meric/saerik/tali said yes.

lvl30 cap, defending NPC at an outpost against waves of Orc's.

[Darwock]

Is that 30 cap the Norvallen one? Do we have any more garrison items for any other areas? Having never done one before and since we seem to be willing to try a 'fair fight' (i.e not necessarily going with a huge alliance) I don't really expect to have much success the first time.

[Tobal]

Most garrions are done in batches, so doing 4-5 of them(you can start a new garrison every 30 mins) ensures decent drops and everyone getting dragon scrolls(exp). So unless another windurstian rank3 gets the item needed we'll be doing one run mainly just for something to do.

[C']

Lvl30 Garrisons take place at:

Jugner Forest
Pashow Marshlands
Meriphitaud Mountains
Valkumr Dunes
Buburimu Peninsula
Qufim Island

I can check to see if San d'Oria has any of these regions this week and attempt to get a trigger whilst I'm at home today.

Actually, thinking about it, I know for sure that San d'Oria has control of Quifim this week. I guess that's the one

To Delkfutt's Tower. GO!~
