If items & gil were traded at the same time, it wouldn't be a problem because the value of the item would be proportional to the amount of gil traded. Othersise it may make things a bit awkward or make it take a couple of weeks to perform a legit transaction, but I'm willing to make the...

I'm disappointed that Squeenix does so little to curb this problem, but they'll go out of their way to nerf a job if they think it might not be hard enough to play. Stopping botting isn't hard -- and it doesn't take GM's to make it happen or even elaborate scanning techniques. 1. There are...

Wow! Having the PS2 version, I had NO IDEA that the PC version did anything to prevent you from using the PC for anything else why FFXI is playing. This goes a long way to explaining why people were talking about "I have two computers so if anyone wants me to check Allakhazam while we're...

eBay is NOTHING like Amazon. When you buy from Amazon, you buy from a company. When you buy from eBay, you buy from an individual seller -- not eBay itself. Check the seller's rating. I only buy from people who have done a number of sales and have very positive feedback ratings. If you...

I'm too busy reeling in the sticker shock of Ninjutsu -- forking over 5k for each 2-hours of blink-tanking ninjutsu tools (not including factoring in costs of spells, armor, or weapons) to feel sorry for mages who "can't afford" armor & spells which they only have to buy once every handful of...

Gotta fly to Univ. of Illinois for a couple of days and I just can't decide if I want to bring the PS2 along. I'm only there for 3 nights, I'll arrive too late to play tonight, will almost certainly not be able to play Thurs night -- so that leaves Weds night. I just don't want to drag it with...

I thought it was the same one I read before -- this is different. These are always good for a laugh.

I don't mind warp shouts as long as they don't spam them out too frequently.

As a generalization, rank *is* a good indicator of party quality. There are exceptions. I'm rank 5 and I've been leveling a handful of new jobs which are all the teens right now -- so the dunes is a common place for this. A handful of people from my LS (everyone was rank 5 -- I think one was...

Go here: https://secure.playonline.com/supportus/index.html And submit an inquiry to ask them why they planned it on a national holiday. If they get enough inquiries, they'll learn not to do this anymore (of course we'll still all be screwed come this Monday). While I was at it, I also asked...

How can you be sure it's the same one? There are SOOO many of them (players with a name that's some slight variation on "legolas"). Just do a "/sea leg all" next time you're on.

Chinese? You mean Japanese don't you? As far as I know the only asian character set the game supports is Japanese.

Yeah... I thought the music was great too.... for about the first hour. After a few days of it, it was positively driving me loopy. It was like being trapped on Disneyland's "It's a Small World" ride for weeks on end and not being allowed to get off -- with that god awful music playing. It's...

I *do* wish they had a way to transfer servers without starting over. I have friends on different servers and was forced to choose which one I wanted to join (via Worldpass). Ultimatelly I took the server where *most* of my friends were. The ones on the other servers tried to find out if...

Personally I'd like to still have a functioning liver when I'm 70 -- but that's just me. I meter my drinking. I usually tell people that it's "health day" the day after I was drinking... gotta let my body recover sometime.
