Emergency Maintenance Apr. 17 - and it might really be!

FINAL FANTASY XI Official Web Site

They posted it two hours before the maintenance itself, and this is a VERY unusual time for maintenance (JP 8:30 PM - 10:30 PM Saturday, not exactly low-traffic I'd expect)...

This maint for bug something like dupe.
use Portaufurnace next to Maw
then start synergy>stop synergy then use Maw
you will get Black Abyssite.

Not sure what all that is, but it's some kind of dupe glitch they are fixing apparently.

Another dupe glitch? Sheesh. I guess too much time has passed since the last mass banning. >.>

Re: Emergency Maintenance Apr. 17 - and it might really be!

I want to know how people find those glitches.

Re: Emergency Maintenance Apr. 17 - and it might really be!

Yeah I heard about that, people were popping Yilbegans out of the ass.

And those glitches are found out by accident.
However as it is mainly JPs that discovered and exploited this we won't see anything like the Salvage dupe bans.

What I don't understand is why people would want to fight Yilbegan, of all things, that badly in the first place. =/

Because even if the drops aren't that good, once you cap your ls members that want/need them, you can make big bucks off of people who are more willing to buy stuff than actually work for it.

Yes, yes, yes, SE won't do anything about their fellow countrymen screwing things up, they only sit around waiting for a foreigner to do it so they can rub their hands together laughing about their superiority. It's all a giant conspiracy to keep the Japanese players masters of the game.

Honestly, shut up, the shtick is getting old.

Wasn't minidragon a JP? Hell, even Tigue finally got banned, though he's back (bought a retired player's account the sad little shit)

That particular sentiment pretty much permeates the entirety of the Titan server. The JP endgame scene has been largely dead since before I left that server, but you couldn't go five minutes at an endgame camp without someone breaking out the tinfoil hats and talking about how GMs were conspiring with the JPs,

Even though endgame is predominantly western on Titan for years now.

Even though NA shells on Titan do the majority of the botting and hacking.

Even though NA shells were responsible for the majority of HNM camp MPKs.

Who invented CFHing HNMs on Titan? NAs. Muze, Map and their Karasu cronies of the time led the way on that one.

Who got banned on Jan 22 on Titan? Biggest names and leaders in Titan endgame, though many had a second character or bought a new account from RMTs and just came back. This after how they issued speeches about feeling vindicated.

So let's put away the tin foil hats and look at the facts. Titan's problem isn't favoritism toward JP players, its that NA and EU behavioral protocols in linkshells were never well-grounded to start with. Clinging to the JP Button mentality is beyond old and busted.

Or maybe you all are interpreting it wrong. As I understand the statement, he's saying that since it was mostly done by the JPs it won't be as widespread so there won't be many NAs banned like there were with the salvage dupes. Jump the gun much?

Re: Emergency Maintenance Apr. 17 - and it might really be!

As much as I hate to agree with Mhurron, given where Shirai comes from in terms of servers, its what I would have assumed, too. Titan shells like Karasu, Relentless, Restricted, PrettyPrincess were full of the GM and JP favoritism conspiracy theories. Such talk was common in shells that camped Kings over there and it rubbed off on lots of people there.

I even watched my friends get sucked into that kind of talk.

Totally what I got out of that... Was sorta confused by all the comments there-after. LOL
