[B][color=silver]I will find the server name for you Des but I have to catch my flight home soon so I'll update you tomorrow. On the character side, yes I did become ther Hume Warrior, I'll post some pictures up of myself ^_^;. Mages are incredibly handy, whether they be Black or White, it's nice effects on spells too.

And I'll take the Bastok avvey please Des ;) [/color] [/B][/QUOTE]
[color=indigo]Ah, okay. You may not actually have to get a World Pass yourself, depending on what server you're on. I know some people over at another message board that have the game, and they'd probably get us a World Pass if you're on the same server as one of them. I'll be sure to ask when I get the name of the server.

Also, here's something that a guy on there posted up. Apparently, there's a quicker way to remake your character over and over until you get on the server you want. This could be very handy if it works as well as it says it does.[/color]

"Archamedies, on Bismarck, sent me this e-mail with info on the quicker way to run through the random server roulette wheel:

You mentioned that you can keep rerolling until you land on the server you want, but as I'm sure you're aware it can be a VERY time consuming process. There is a trick to make it much, much faster though.

1. Make a new character
2. Select all the attributes, race, job, etc etc
3. Select starting town.

4. ***The important step*** When the screen comes up to associate a handle with your character, press Escape. This will take you back to the main menu. Go to character select and check which server your new toon is on. If he isn't on the server you want, delete, and when you go back to Create Character it has your previous settings memorized. You can literally spam the enter key through the options, get to the handle, escape, and check again. It typically only takes 5-10 minutes to land on the server you want, as each attempt only takes about 10 seconds on a fast computer.

While it isn't as good as, oh I don't know, actually selecting the server you want, it does make getting your friends in the same spot a lot cheaper. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Archamedies!"[/quote]
[color=indigo]So yeah, tell us what server you're on as soon as you get the game running at home. And also, tell us your character's name so people can watch for you. ^_^[/color]

[Zidargh]

[color=silver]Right, assuming that the server is the world I'm on, I am on World [b]Sylph[/b]. Also, my character's name is just simply Zidargh, it's strange as my computer is not showing all the graphics, the sprites are all just weird flying, 3-D colours. o_0[/color]

[color=darkblue][EDIT]

Yay! I got it working properly and very well for a ME computer, even better than the XP computer I played it on. I got a screeny of my self waving. It is very cool as there are loads different movements from siting to waving, to stamping on the ground in anger, to cheering on etc. I type '/wave' thus causing me to wave. You can also target people when you do it. [/color]

[color=silver]No I am on the Sylph Server of which I am in bastok. Gustaberg is quite a hard area if you've just started, considering I'm level 4. Whoever gets a World pass shouls make you delete your character and start up in that world.[/color]

[Guest .h4ck]

to get a world pass costs a pretty gil to get. im a lvl 9 warrior and its hard to get experiance points unless you go far out, im to lazy for cross country :p

I'm still waiting for my copy of FFXI, it should have arrived on monday, it is now thursday! :flaming:

I sent the guys I ordered it from an email, I double checked their delivery policies and everything, my copy should have definately arrived on monday :(

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]Maybe they meant next Monday. :cross:

But anyway, should I even bother with the main thread anymore? It doesn't seem like anyone else outside of this thread is getting FFXI, or at least will care about getting on the same server.

And I guess the people over on the other message board, or at least most of them, are on the Bismark server. So I don't know if you'd want to start a new character, Zidargh, but I think they'd probably get us a World Pass. Should I see about that? I know I'd like to be able to play with both you guys and them when I finally get FFXI.[/color]

[Zidargh]

[color=silver] Whatever really, I don't particularily care much for the game. it is incredibly hard to earn Gilders and I've earned a maximum of 700. Auctions and selling rips you off too. I now have to get a new video card if I want to see the graphics of their best ability, I mean I'm only level 7 but it's up to you.

I've made some friends on this server but I guess I can stay in touch with them. World Passes are very expensive aswell, some even go for 12k. The Mog House thing is nice, decorate your own house and that. I couldn't say I'm a huge fan of FFXI but that''s just me.

I'm even contemplating just selling this game. Nobody I know's going on, by the time you get on Des the servers will be even more busy so I have to hope for the best. All I can say is you're organising this thing, you make the decisions. I doubt I will sell the game but I'm a bit annoyed right now, so excuse me.[/color]

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]I may be organizing it, but the thing is, since I don't have the game myself yet, I'm organizing it for other people. Although, it seems like not many other people are getting FFXI. You, .h4ack, and Sephiroth are the only ones I know of.

So, I dunno... If you don't really care, I think I'm going to get on the Bismark server when I get FFXI. If that trick for recreating characters quickly that I quoted earlier actually works, I don't think there's all that much need for World Passes, really. People could just do that until they get on the server they want.

This thing didn't really take off like I thought it would, and it's pretty much just fallen apart. I didn't think World Passes would be that hard to get. I mean, do they really expect people to wait for a friend to save up tons of Gil to get a World Pass before they start a character?

I don't think I'm going to bother with the main thread -- not enough people have shown interest in getting the game. I'll just say I'm going to be on the Bismark server when I get it, and anyone else that wants to get on the same server can. Or if I actually know someone else is getting FFXI, I might work it out through PMs or something, but I don't think there's enough demand to warrent a thread devoted to trading World Passes.[/color]

Bismark eh, that's the one I'll join then when my copy of the game finally arrives!!! :mad: :flaming:

It's not saturday, the game is 5 days late, and I have not received a reply to my email, what the hell's going on?

/me sends an army of squirrels to importmadness.com HQ

[color=indigo]Okay, I decided not to go ahead with the World Pass thread, but I did make another thread to replace this one. (As you've probably noticed, since this one is now unstuck and closed, with the new one in its place). Any FFXI discussion should be moved over from this thread to the new one, as it pretty much just covers everything.
