Wonder how many people will still gather in Port Jeuno for shouts.


Well, at least now I can comfortably warp back to Sandy and not have to get pissed about needing to go to Jeuno 1st for Stones & Warps.

Also, maint just got extended 1 hour.

Yeah, that was pretty much inevitable.

And I'm sure most people will still gather in Port Jeuno for the shouts.

<---- Would suggest doing the file check now that it's already available to avoid congestion later on.

Already done!

That being said, I think it would be awesome if Heavens Tower became the new gathering spot for Abyssea activity. All it needs is a Nomad moogle and a Home Point Crystal.

And a freaking map, ahem. Or have you forgotten that HT is a no-map no-grid area, just like a BCNM or Nyzul?

And it's all about the shouts, which is why this really won't help. Especially when Windurstians have to walk two miles uphill just to get into that zone. Too bad they didn't put some of those NPCs in Chocobo Circuit.

As for file check, I left it at the POL->FFXI screen this morning. When I came home a couple of hours ago, it was at Check Version. And I've already finished the download, but it had to be restarted twice.

EDIT: Oh crazy, the background art just went away and now it's a solid blood red. I thought I was looking at a SNES game title screen for a moment.

No need for a map either! You only have 2 floors to move around and to Aby away!




I guess I'll start up Portal 2 now that I can just to finally see what it looks like. <_<;

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, I just checked the forums cause I still couldn't login. It's after 10PM here. Good thing I literally slept till 4, did the patch, and then went back to bed at 7 soas to not waste my FFXI time! Screw Japan, I'll be up ALL night and ALL day tomorrow. They can't kill my gametime!

I'm pretty ok with the new font. The emphasis on everything is a bit unnecessary but it's very clean. Don't think I'll reinstall the mod.

I'm sure I'm in a large minority but I hate this,

Experience point penalties when KO’d will be eased for characters level 75 and below.
At levels 1–30, the penalty will be removed entirely. At levels 31–75, the amount of XP lost will be lowered as indicated in the chart below.

It's something I always enjoyed a lot about FFXI when I used to play. It's one of the reasons I don't play so many MMOs these days. Just when I'm re-starting.. haha.

I respect your opinion, but do bear in mind that (in my opinion) the real penalty of dying used to be the 5 minutes downtime in parties which ultimately cost you more EXP than dying itself. Now that parties are rarer and soloing is more common, it's not entirely uncalled for.

Hmm it's more like rather than a penalty, it added a feeling of danger and excitement for me as in some other MMOs that I play. I can understand, I'm not looking to argue the matter, it's just sad for me to see it change (for me).

So apparently the new mobs added to lower level areas are super fun! (And by super fun I mean aggressive to 90s and in the way of shit that lowbies need.)
