A Few questions from a noob

[r6kid]

Hey guys - i used to play FFXI a couple yrs back, never really got far as i got confused quickly, but i miss the game dearly, and i am a little bit more conciencious about games and MMO's in general.

anyways i have 3 questions.

1. What is one of the more popular servers, that way i can always have some help if needed

2. How much are world passes and is there anyone that could help me and my friebd out in getting to their server

3. and lastly, has anyone had any experience with FFXI on windows on a Macbook ( the black version, 2.0ghz, with 1gb of RAM).... if not, do u forsee this game as playable on it?


thanks alot for any help guys

1. Most servers are about the same.

2. World passes are no longer necessary. You can select the world you want to join when creating your character. Gold World passes are still available, but aren't required.

3. Not personally.

Pretty much what Muphie said.

Most servers are the same... though it's said some are full of drama and such, but that's all opinions.

You no longer need to get a World Pass to land on a particular server. Pick and play...

I don't think FFXI will ever be available on a MAC, unless you have a Windows partition on there.

Yes, you can play without the number pad. If you go to your Menu, Config, and then Misc.2, You'll see Keyboard Type option. Simply select "Compact."

Dunno how much this will vary for you, but currently the PlayOnline folder that houses POL and ffxi on my computer is 7.97GB on disk. That's with all expansions and currently available updates. Then again, I'm sure this number can/will vary.

Actually, I went into the Control Pannel and Uninstall Programs...

According to that...

FFXI- 6,493 MBs
CoP- 6,493 MBs
ToAU- 7,333 MBs
