    Re: Any chance of distributing a trial for FFXI anytime soon?

    As far as I can tell, you need someone who purchased a "FINAL FANTASY XI Vana'diel Collection 2007" to give you a "PlayOnline registration code", which probably is included as part of that "Buddy Pass" thingie. The POL reg code then would enable you to obtainly a (free?) FFXI content ID (i.e. a character) for 30day use.

    You can't "give back" a POL reg code, I believe; once it's used, it's "used up". (I think?!) Maybe people who bought a "FINAL FANTASY XI Vana'diel Collection 2007" can explain it.
    Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
    yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
    Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
    leaving no trace in the water.

      You get a CD Key when you buy the game. Since you haven't bought the game you won't have a valid CD Key. And since the CD Key is tied to an account (and once used is no longer valid), no one can loan you theirs, unfortunately.

      Your only option is a Buddy Pass. You have the software, but you still need the pass.

        If I remember right when I used my buddy pass, you have to actually download the copy that SE provides you via their servers. They either provide you with a registration number at that time, or one comes with the buddy pass card inside each box. I honestly don't remember. However, since you mentioned you downloaded the game with bittorrent, I don't think there's anything you can do short of buying the game for the reg. codes.

          Buddy Pass likely still works. Because you can let a friend use your disks to install the game, and then give him your Buddy Pass.

            yeah that is what i was thinking ^ otherwise they wouldnt have included buddy passes into the retail versions.

            so i dont need a cdkey, but i do need a buddypass it seems. so only ONE real obstacle left.

              the buddypass thread seems hopeless because there are still several unfulfilled pass requests made before my post. i wonder why the posts in that thread that have had their requests fulfilled aren't deleted, so people know who still needs a buddypass, and who doesn't.

                Probably because very few of them have had their requests filled.

                      It's entirely likely that no one here has one anymore.

                        Perhaps square should take some of these cues from blizzard.

                        http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowb.../?id=abl01997p

                        especially recruiting a friend gets you 30 free days of gameplay. what a great incentive to help the community grow!

                        square is missing out on a lot of opportunities.

                          They are indeed. They seem pretty content with it, for some reason. Oh well.

                            Id be more than happy to buy anyone a buddypass if you want to be on the Kujata server.

                              You can't buy a Buddy Pass. You can buy a World Pass, but it's not the same thing at all.
