Speculation, but 95 megs seems like an awfully large update for a few new spells and some signet effects. [ /nazi'd ; ; ]

Notice they mention CoP too? Could they be holding back on info?

Fuck. That's 1/10 of my bandwidth gone for this month. I'll try to leech a connection from the library or something =p
 
They've always mentioned both expansions when going over the update details.
 
yay goodies <3 goodies
 
my comp is slow enough I'll have to move stuff around to make it go faster

Keep in mind this is a version update, wherein they almost always release new equipment obtained from all sorts of places. Could include new NMs in any zone.

No, this was your speculation.

I see right through you.
 
Who wants to bet on how long they will extend the update? 50k says they make it 10 hours.
 
this unusual file size is due to the langage update ( french and german version can be downloaded).

Wasn't the last update actually done 2,5 hours before the projected time but they still decided to keep FFXI unavailable?
 
Wasn't here for the last update so i wouldn't know.
 
It's pretty routine for the download to be available well before the game gets put back online, which is why the datamining threads pop up so fast.
