Hey guys,

Just an open chat to see how things are going with you guys?

I know the server change was a pretty big deal for you, do you find it's getting better now?

I also know many of you are new to these forums -- we probably could've done a better job at welcoming you guys but is there anything you need that we can help provide now? Any feedback regarding the site itself and improvements / changes you would like to see?

The last question is open to everyone by the way although I know the veterans here haven't been shy in the past about stuff.

Thanks,
- John
 
We need to get rid of a certain admin whose name starts with a M and rhymes with Miros.

Crap, did I just say his name?


Edit: Er.. oh and uh... the site still loads slow for me. D=

QCDN seems to be very hard to access for some people I know. One friend in particular can't get here at all, and another sporadically has DNS issues with it. I find that at peak hours this place often returns a "too busy" message.

As for the server hop, it's been largely OK for me, but I find the Upper Jeuno bazaar a mild annoyance, and I've heard a nasty rumor about two Quetz Dynamis shells ganging up on a Midgard Dynamis shell on their Dynamis-Xarc run... -- Pteryx
 
Other than the loss of some of our names, I'd say it went great. Well, campaigns only seem to last 30 seconds now, except for the Beaucedine ones, due to there being so many people. Other than that, same game, same people, just a lot of new ones. The one thing I was worried about was so many conflicts for Dynamis zones that there would be chaos trying to do certain zones, but so far your scheduling system seems to be holding up, and most of the Midgard shells actually seem to be using it. I'd say we were lucky in that regard that they didn't merge us the other way. Had they moved Quetz to Midgard, I bet it would have been a LOT harder to get us to use your system.

I'm very glad that we got moved to a server with an active community website like this. I think it's made the transition easier for some of us.
 
Same game, more gimps, laggier whitegate. :)

Edit: Why can't I reply to threads in the AH forum? :\
 
It's been pretty good for me (other than as Zalt can tell you, I've been having to chase a whole lotta tails for my shells, especially the first week after merge; I might STILL have to do it for CurseTheYagudo stragglers since some of our folks don't log on often and it took us a week to rebuild the shell b/c no one could get a shell that first week.) other than one little thing.

Mind, I haven't seen this happen since I first started playing, and was when I was in my starter RSE, poking things to death very slowly, but...

...I had a donk try to hit on me. Very blatantly, I might add.

Mind, I never look for a BF in game. I'd rather get a BF, then get him into FFXI. Not the other way around. So that's red flag for me if you're asking me for dates/hitting on my kitteh in a serious fashion. (At least one of my friends can get away with it, but then I know it's rp/joking there) I ended up blisting him. First time I've EVER had to do that. (Spammers and player run casinos don't count, even tho I blist those). IMO, anyone who hits on my chara needs to get a life. So I don't tolerate that unless you're joshing w/me and I know the person well enough to know if they are kidding. ^^ (I'm surprised I haven't had anyone hit on the kitteh much before though. Maybe it's the fact my chara's in frumpy mage robes or everyone thinks I'm a guy. Dunno!)

I've had it lucky with Campaign so far but then I've never been hardcore with that, I mainly use it to keep my 75 jobs capped. Tho yes, it's crowded and yes, they're shorter, so I have to be faster getting there or I won't get much xp. I do NOT want to do xarc again though :nono:; not after that dragon that pounced me made it so I had to campaign twice as long just to recap whm!

Also all the name changes have been giving me a very bad headache; I'm horrible with names of people I don't know well and half my dyn shell had to change their names. Not. Funny. I've been all :wacko: for the moment, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

The upper jueno bazaar mall took some getting used to. Anyway to sum it up; most people I've met have been pretty nice, so I don't have much to complain about other than name changes and having to chase down way too many people lately. (Had to chase a doesn't-log-on-much member of CTY yesterday as a matter of fact so I could get him to Nimbex for a pearl. Said person had to change his name, blah. I did get him oriented as best I could though.)
 
OH another thing!

My school's network has blocked QCDN recently. Now the odd thing is that they usually don't manually block sites, their network auto-blocks sites categorized as something. The reason why this site is blocked because apparently it's a internet anonymizer or something like that? Was wondering if something was changed on the site to force this.
 
That's wierd... I have some spare domains, maybe I can park one on top of this site so you can use it from school // not that you should be visiting this site when you should be learning!!
 
I only visit it in my free time ; ;. I swear I do my work! D:

That'd be cool if it doesn't take too much work.

While I find this humorous, I also find it believable to some extent. If I had access to the internet during class I probably would have failed out since I would be paying no attention to what the teacher had to say.

Unrelated: zomg you got rid of your awesome avater ; ;
 
lol I used to have access and I'd have a type of schedule to check it. Like if I was doing work and there were 20 questions, I'd check for 5 minutes after every 5 questions. Just to make sure I got work done also.

Oh and yeah I did. I got rid of it for all of 2 hours before and then thought "but everyone seems to love my avatar D:" and switched it back lol.

No I meant like a month ago lol. Decided to finally change it two days ago and then I forgot to resave the other one anyway because I'm on a different PC than what I originally uploaded it on. So unless I find it again, it's long gone D:
 
Well, beseiged and campaign battles certainly became a lot easier to win. Though the JP on quetz are a lot more xenophobic than the midgardsormr ones were. but otherwise it's the same game, just a lot more people (and more competition for the good party spots)
 
So..why can't I post in AH forum threads? D:

You can post, just not reply. This is how it's been foreverz. Mainly to stop epeens of people replying with things like "ur sellin dat for 50 gil? lulz its only worth 20 tool" or "I'm selling the same item for less buy mine instead!"
 
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense I suppose.

Nothing is ever for certain though (cept the way I like my men) so if you want to bring the issue up in a thread to have them rules changed feel free to make a new topic in this forum. :o
