Welcome to FFXIOnline.com

Just recently Allakhazam, a prominent source of FFXI information as well as one of the known sites for a busy FFXI community has been acquired by the company that owns several properties… including IGE. If you did not know, IGE is a renowned organization that specializes in the selling of in game funds for real money. Being hated by most of anyone that plays an MMO that it has it hands on, it is no surprise that some of those that belong to the Allakhazam community refuse to continue associating with that gamming site. Although Allakhazam administrator talks of being separate from the other owned properties of their parent company, this holds no recourse for Allakhazam residents who want nothing at all to do with IGE.

With that said, I on behalf of the staff, would like to thank all who choose FFXIOnline.com as their new home and welcome you all to our FFXI: Online community. If you haven’t noticed, our site is of majority player provided content through posted guides on the forums. We also link sites that have a wealth of information and are very useful to your life in Vana’diel. If you have any guides you would like to make available, we have an article system that you may use to contribute (you may also post in the forum that is most relevant to the theme of your article.)

Here are a couple of most used sites:

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/index.php/Main_Page
-An Encyclopedia of FFXI: Online information.

http://www.ffrecipe.com/?lang=en
-Your one stop source to finding the items you want to make and how to make them.

http://mysterytour.web.infoseek.co.jp/ffxi/us/
http://ffxi.somepage.com
-Two good sources of a variety of FFXI: Online information, which is updated regularly.

-Another very good map resource

While the new Zam.com is stating that the companies are seperate... do you honestly think that would stay that way considering how much money they stand to make from having both sites work together?

From a business stand point there is no way they will be seperate, that just wouldnt make sense.

I really dont know what they were thinking when they made that decision.

I forget how I originally found this site, but I am glad I did. This is a great community and there are many great people here. I could care less about what's going on because this is the only FFXI forum I visit. Thank you ffxionline for making me feel at home on this site.

I used to be on Alla a lot but there are a lot of opinionated people but there is a lot of good info there which is now the only reason i go there to look up stuff i feel bad for alla really but its going to be assimilated without much of a compromise.


i mean who gets joined to a larger part of something and still keeps their dignity?

I stick with FFXI because there is really no one on here i don't like and guess what? They actually make sense when they prove me wrong

/barflame me -_-

Thank you very much for this welcome. I was one of the more frequent participants in the main FFXI forum at Allakhazam. While I don't fault them for making this choice, it just doesn't feel like home anymore.

Again, thanks to all of you who have been going out of your way to make us feel welcome. I know how hard it can be when a bunch of strangers starts invading your space. You folks have been great!

I look forward to lots of great discussions in the future!

Re: Welcome to FFXIOnline.com ~(*^.^)*

I'm glad to see new people around. The forum is becoming more active (which I, personally, love). And these new people are actually quite kind, unlike in some other forums...

Anyways, yay for new people!

(I'm not really sure what the point of this post is except for the last sentence stated above...trying to kill time waiting for a PT. <___<)

Edit: One thing I did notice, though. I'm getting some time-out errors here and there. Usually doesn't happen, and all I have to do is hit the back button, then forward and it works. But, who knows! D:

"The ownership issues here are convoluted. This is how deals like this get done. The size of this is pretty amazing. This is just the announcement for our own users, not the actual corporate announcement, which will likely come much later. We are now owned by a company that owns a bunch of stuff, including IGE. They bought both of us (and several other sites as well) and then split us into separate divisions so that there is no interaction between them. You know my stand on gold selling. Before agreeing to anything like this, I wanted to make sure that there would be no interaction between those divisions and that I would have complete control over the new network, including the sites that used to be part of ogaming. So this means that the Ogaming sites and Thottbot have been split off of IGE and into our network and no longer have any connection with them."

This was quoted from Allakhazam Defender of Justice from the forums there. It sounds as if from the get go the owner if alla was already owning IGE, so is this really a change, or rather an information long hidden?

I'm also someone who was an Allakhazam member, I am surprised I haven't been to this website. I would just like to say, thank you for such a warm welcome. ^^

[wolfjorg]
