The game is awesome, I just wish they had guilds

. They do have linkshells but its not the same.

CyCo PL · 11-04-2003, 12:26 AM

What a great game. I mean wow. Just wow.

My sleep time has been reduced since I got this game though.

Shauk · 11-04-2003, 02:07 AM

Im buying it this friday, I had to pay rent so im already tapped out.

sounds excellent.

krazixs · 11-04-2003, 07:41 AM

I guess one of these should get posted seeing as everyone who will play that also visits these boards will want to know everyone's server and handle.

So let's just try to keep this in one thread

Which server you two on and stuff? I'm currently on Ramuh I have a level 8 black mage tarutaru I think it pretty bad ass. I love how they actually have potions ethers and such oh and even limit breaks...(TP WEAPON SKILL) just wish my mage got to use them a little more. And just a tip to any of you if you haven't found out yet... USE THE AUCTION HOUSE you can make loads of cash there.

IckUber · 11-05-2003, 12:23 AM

They do have guilds, they are all over the place. Goldsmith, Fishing, carpentry, so on and so on.

The auction house is amazing. ive made lots of money there. I am on Leviathan, a lvl 10 Blk Taru, when you hit 10, you get a passive magic powert up skill. its very helpfull.

I was talking about Player guilds. Not the ones set up in the game, thats different.

Beltruckus · 11-05-2003, 10:12 AM

I'm on leviathan *spelling my characters name is Kemara give me a tell or something if you on the server.

this game kicks soo much ass it's amazing.

nostalgic1 · 11-05-2003, 06:09 PM

yeah so i'm one of those kids that immediately went out and bought myself a copy of the game...

...except i can't get it to work...

every time i go to play the game it closes itself and tells me i don't have the proper hardware to play the game..

i've checked and double checked the hardware specs.. and i'm completely sure i have the specs i need...

so what the hell is going on?

and also.. anyone else have any comments about the game? pros or cons?

phredgreen · 11-05-2003, 06:18 PM

wtfomg!

you gots to tell us what you're running if you expect any help at all.

spived2 · 11-05-2003, 06:24 PM

ohhh flashes of light!!

*roles over onto the floor and start convulsing*

Yeah fill us in on both the game specs and your system specs. It may be something as simple as drivers for your video card. See if there are some configuration test programs that came with the game when you installed it and check all the readme files.

Wish I was on levithan with you guys.... there is still not to many english speaking people on my server but I don't think I want to start over I'm level 11 and 3 cloth (3 is still alot even though it sucks lol)

IckUber · 11-07-2003, 12:30 AM

its all the same with the japs. They are on at night, and if you have bothered to talk to them (most of them can speak broken english) they are really fucking cool, and will buff you up with spells, travel with you, warp you, or raise you, thats the most common for me

im proud to play with the japs.

Miekle · 11-07-2003, 07:51 AM

Ya then there are the americans..... LEAVE THIS IS MY SPAWN I WAS HERE FIRST YOU DUMB FUCK......sure sounds like EQ all over again if you ask me although gm came and slapped em upside the head so its ok. God I hate ignorant people that make us look bad

IckUber · 11-07-2003, 08:03 AM

I agree with you Miekle. So far, I havent had to witness someone like that.

battlemouth · 11-07-2003, 09:32 AM

im still waiting for X-2.... 11 more days!

SSJwrestler · 11-07-2003, 06:59 PM

how much does ordering early and all the software set you back? if you dont mind me asking

Eldaire · 11-07-2003, 10:02 PM

I am so pumped!!! (As I'm sure are all FF fans out there.) It's gonna be awesome! I loved X, IX, VIII, VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, I, Tactics, Adventures I, Adventures II, Adventures III, and Tactics Advance sooooo much!

*needs a life*

mercury-hg · 11-09-2003, 01:13 PM

preface: i'm an idiot & i've never played an MMORPG.

(hopefully that'll help me save face when i ask this question

)

ok, i just got FFXI. my character is all setup and i went through the opening scripted thing, got an "adventurer's coupon", and now i'm on my own. what do i do? i tried taking the coupon to the person marked on the map, but i can't seem to give it to her. and beyond that, what's a good way to start off? head off into the woods and hack away at weak enemies as in all other FFs? thanks for any help.

Miekle · 11-09-2003, 08:50 PM

mercury-hg....
Not if you know how to give the coupon or not. You don't really need to cause all you get is 50gill but you click on them once then right click and click trade then put it in there.

And ya basically just kill things and level up. There are also quests and missions you can do by talking to various people. The missions are more or less the story back bone of FFXI

Anything that's a mmorpg is going to require you to pay. Don't misunderstand this for greed, they need it to pay for maintenence, bandwidth, and staff costs.

That comes with the territory.

So like,what's the deal with PvP?

Personally I hate PvP,because I suck at it.PvP on all servers all the time or selected ones like Everquest?

Miekle · 11-11-2003, 08:52 AM

There isn't any pvp on it yet, not positive how they are going to work it but once land is all dominated by one territory i think you can start attacking or being attacked by others. Or something along the line of that anyways

coilz · 11-11-2003, 12:11 PM

Maybe someone mentioned it... but how much is the monthly charge for this game to play online?

Shauk · 11-11-2003, 12:20 PM

12$ i think it was?

IckUber · 11-11-2003, 01:06 PM

yeah 12. worth every cent.

glytch · 11-11-2003, 01:54 PM

12? On mine it says 10.44 for the first content ID and .80 for the rest. Wouldn't that mean it's 10.44 if you had one character and aren't playing Tetra Master?

mercury-hg · 11-11-2003, 09:55 PM

glytch - that's the pro-rated price for the first month after your initial free month. from then on, you'll be billed 12.95 at the start of every month

Tiser · 11-12-2003, 04:27 AM

The thing about MMORPGs is that you only have time for one.

Which do you think is better? FFXI or the upcoming Matrix Online? Doesn't look that bad. Monolith has a good resume.

Miekle · 11-12-2003, 10:22 AM

Figured I would ask everyones money making methods..

Heres mine...I hunt in saru so I kill crawlers (those yellow worms things). They drop silk which can be sold in auc for 700gill each or 10k for a stack of 12. They also drop culk or some sort of stone named that. You can gather three of these stones and give them to the cat lady at the farm and she gives you 600gill.

Thats my money making method.... any one have any others?

Phaenx · 11-12-2003, 01:16 PM

Those bastards and their one character deal. I want to try like 5 different jobs and can't make up my mind.

I'm thinking (main/sub): Drk/War Whm/Blm Mnk/War Sam/Mnk

A nice combo would be Thief/Ninja.

Personally I want to go Dark Knight/Paladin (is that possible? ;p)
I still have to convince myself to buy the game though.
