Re: Finally... I've acquired FFXI after 3 Years of waiting

In saying that about waiting a long time, where I live in the Uk we only got broadband into our area in August 2005 and after a few months of problems I finally went online in October and first thing I did? Well bought FFXI of course, being a veteran on the nes, snes, PSone and 2, this next installment was painfull to wait for (so is FFXII !! summer next year possible release in the Uk is the latest info!) But I am glad I have it so if you see me on the Garuda server say Hi to Jarre (hume) in SanDoria and Brickshouse (galka) in Bastok.

I landed on Kujuta

{All Right!} /welcome

You'll love Kujata, It's a one of the better servers on FFXI for several reasons.

If you see Izayaki running around somewhere, don't be a stranger! ^^b

Hello Plat, welcome to the game and to the site. I wish you the best in you adventures. If I may ask, what server did you play EQOA and EQ2 on?

Ah yes, on EQOA:
Castle Light Wolf(CLW)
Bedrock 43 Warrior

ProudPine Outpost(PPO)
Skylar 29 Paladin - she was the first toon EVER, across all servers, to win a GM event.

Keliner 44 Cleric - When PPO was announced, I quickly jumped off CLW and created a cleric on this server, it was lovely because I always had a group. No sitting around in DM or HP yelling "LFG plz!"

Oh, and Everquest 2!

AND apparently a local store has FXI but i dont thinks its "the collection" so meh, I just want them to hurry the hell up and get it here!

Actually, the Australian version of FFXI has the original game and both the expansions. It's on cd's and not a DVD, but it's the exact same thing, really. x.x;

Re: Finally... I've acquired FFXI after 3 Years of waiting

Yep, I got the collection - everything on one disc - very nice. But let me forwarn you, the update process is UNGODLY - you may find yourself waiting another WEEK just to update FFXI, lol.

The Uk version has both expansion packs and is on 6 CD's!! amazon.co.uk are selling them off now at just under £10 (typical I bought mine at PC world for £25 just so i could play it straight away!!

Double Post Edited:

I have a 2MB broadband link running at about 212kbs average. It took 1 hour to download all the updates (11000 files!!!) and according to my DMU meter it was about 270-320mb (from what i can remember) this was only 2 months ago (so still fresh in my memory) so it gives you a good idea, so work out how long it takes to download that amount and then set it going before your dinner, eat, have a shower and hey presto should be done by then!! (well worked for me!!) Don't foget that it onlky took 40 minutes to download and the other 20 to sort the files out and update the program.

Yes, Australia gets the same version games as Europe, usualy. We got that same one, I think the box even says "European Version" on it.
