Feels so good to finally be able to play after all this time. Although, I'm getting tired, so I'll continue more tomorrow.
Someone named themselves after that god forsaken place?
I swear...I think I've spent months there. Months.
I spent weeks there, but that's just how it was in FFXI if you were RDM or THF (I was both at first) lol. At least, before Book Burn parties. (Fields of Valor). I use to think the place was heck on earth until I was more established. I still never enjoyed leveling there, well, much.
6950, 8 gigs ram, i5-2500k.....I did fine in the benchmark.
When the books came around (and the level matching function) came around, people still loved to force others to level there.
Still, that matching level thing was sorely needed. The first couple years of XI were a nightmare, forcing you to stick to XP parties as if you were married to them. Else your doomed to trying to LFP for hours/days.
Dammit, I'm rambling about XI. You can't get me, FFXI, I won't let you!
Definitely just the server or you have a really bad internet connection.

When they will allow us to create new characters in NA servers?
I was trying to Convince my friend from 1.0 that the game is good now and everything is alright and he should give the game a second chance to be welcomed with the NA/EU servers issues lol.

FFXI allow you to stay logged in for months afk. You can stay in until you are forced out by maintenance.
Alright I guess I will just wait it out then. Thanks!
Seems like routing issues from you to the servers.
Try a character on a JP server for a bit, since you're in San Diego the latency difference between Japan and Montreal where the NA servers happen to be located should be comparable.

Night, Hoga, Spiderlily, myself, and Mjunter are on Excalibur.
Taking a quick break to refresh myself and do some laundry, then I've got just a few story quests to finish up before fighting Ifrit. I'm really looking forward to that, I know he isn't much for experienced MMO players, but I had a lot of fun fighting him in Phase 3.
I managed to get on early tonight, around 9PM, a couple hours earlier than yesterday. As such, I've already had time to go through Halatali, and grab some new armor. I also had an, interesting little experience with a Leve. Right after starting, I was 9000'd out. Frantically tried login several times, got back in, and still managed to beat the Leve fast enough to get the fast completion bonus. XD
Anyhow, I better finish what I'm doing. I don't want to leave my character idling more than fifteen minutes, not after being so critical of idlers in the past.

No pre-pair time cards in NA?
I heard something about them being introduced, but I haven't seen any out in the wild or on Amazon when I looked last.
I want to give one to a friend as a gift.
SoD did first start off on Sargatanas originally before it became Red Dot. But that's gone thru massive changes that barely reflect it originally.

Holy shit, so fast. I'll be getting it soon, too.
Damn I made a character on Ultros the first day of EA and never got a chance to play him before the guild filled up.
Solid core of originals.

Why is the PS3 version pissing me off right now? This is why!
I can't do FATE farming to level up so I can do more story quests. Nothing appears, and by the time anything does... they're all dead. :c

what are the best target filter settings for battle? i had two summoners in a group today and their damn pets screwed with my targeting.
every other option is clear, but filter settings just confuse me.....

Well, I barely have time to play now and my friend is leveling quite fast, so I'm left alone because my friend wants to experience the content asap.
I'm considering quitting (haven't registered the key yet) since I'll have to solo quest and grind alone, which was what I hoped to avoid by playing with my friend.
Is there something that can be done so I don't feel left in the dust because I can't play that much?

So many deaths here...lol
Players were still stuttering all around me on the JP server, but my abilities launched when I wanted them to. Still seemed off to me though.
On selling items to the market using retainers, what is the supposed method of determining market price when talking to the retainer? Are you supposed to check the market board -> write down the prices -> then call your retainer and put in the prices?
Is that supposed to be the way how it's done? Seems tedious... can you even call your retainer at the markets?
Also, what does the Max value on foodstuff buffs mean? Mean you can get a % increase to a stat but it only gives to the maximum value indicated?

He can always level sync down to help you out with dungeons, etc.
Couldn't your friend switch to one of the classes he/she hasn't been leveling so much? That way they can still power through the game in another class but work through it slowly with a different class with you.

Well, this is going to sound stupid, but... where is the Paladin quest NPC? I'm at 40 and I guess it's about time to get some new skills. I forgot where he is, though.

check in the hotbar settings (in character config). option should be in the cross section.
I guess it depends on whether you're enjoying the game or not. There isn't much you can do if your friend is set on seeing late-game content at a pace that's faster than your own.
If you're enjoying the game then you could -
1) Try looking for other people to group with.
I've done this before in WoW. When I first started back in Vanilla, I chose an RPG server on Emerald Dream and just stayed in character whenever I helped people out. I met a lot of people that way who were just soloing through the areas and eventually I became friends with a few of them.
2) Look for a more casual guild
Look around for a guild that fits your playstyle. I'm sure they're out there.
3) Wait it out
I imagine that your friend will eventually calm down a bit once that new shine starts rubbing off of everything. After a while, who you're doing things with will become more important than what you're doing.
4) Change servers or hook up with the GAF hivemind
Plenty of people to play with in GAF.
If you're not really into the game, then there's no shame in putting it down.

True, but questing alone and doing levemates alone sucks.
That's what we are considering, but I still can't get over the "I'm the limp keeping my friend back"
We are on Lamia atm due to being impossible to play on Ultros. Heck, the Ultros GAF guild mumble server is mine lol.
I have like an hour or two to play during the weekdays due to work and college. So
1. I'd rather not PUG alone. I know its new but soloing it's... boring to me. I gave it a shot.
2. We were thinking of making our own small guild while we wait for server transfers to come up with a friend of my friend who joined us on the server.
3. I guess I could, but in the end I would quit anyway.
4. 1037. So not an option atm.
Sorry if I seem unreasonable guys, but I felt like shit getting left behind because my friend wants to experience the game and due to my limited amount of time I can only be casual. I know its not my fault, but its frustrating and the game just launched, so its even more frustrating lol.
getting gc chocobo is actually a "side" story quest
yes it had the flaming quest sign symbol that shows it's storyline quest, but it's not the main story quest
try speaking with minfilia?
LOL

duty finder has been good since they fixed it 2 days ago. i'm getting games instantly as a tank.
You can check the history of an item on the market and see what its sold for in the past.
Got in with no queue, and did main-line quests for a few hours trying to burn through rested XP on my main class before I switched to leveling GLA to unlock WAR. Finally I asked in /shout since my bar wouldn't budge, and someone told me that you only use it by killing mobs. Hrff.

I'm stuck on the story quests. Last thing I remember is saving the sylph from some evil sylphs, but there are no more story quest markers.
Anyone know where to go?
