QUOTE The list so far: - Penny Arcade: Wutai - Role-Playing Coalition: Besaid - Japanese players: Figaro and Mysidia - Goon Squad from Something Awful: Figaro - Oceanic: Gysahl - Europe: Cornelia, Lindblum - Core: Lindblum, Mysidia, Besaid - Eorzeapedia: Trabia - ZAM: Besaid - Spanish speaking server: Besaid After looking over this list I found over at FF14core I'd like to suggest we avoid Figaro as an home for AT. Even though it seems most of us probably won't be on the game atleast until the PS3 version comes out I'm gonna suggest either Trabia or one of the core servers (Lindblum, Mysidia, Besaid). My vote is for Trabia though, and I will be logging in on the 22nd. Goon Squad alone is enough reason to avoid Figaro. I second this motion. |

How about Wutai then and hang with the PA folks? Also remember this is a world wide MMO, theres gonna be Japanese and Euro players on every server, and there will be ass holes on every one too.
Update on the computer, it was the mother board that died and I had to order a replacement which I will likely get in the mail mid next week, so it looks like I'll miss the first night festivities. :( |

Sad thing is 'hacks' enable the hardware mouse. Windowerxiv is still as good as the old windower for ffxi. What it does: - It enables you to play FFXIV in pseudo full screen mode (no window borders), just like any other game nowadays - You can use alt-tab in the full screen mode without FFXIV crashing due to the DirectX error message - No more crashes due to UAC, ctrl+alt+del or anything else that lets you lose the DirectX device (exception: driver crash) - FFXIV runs a bit faster (about 5%) than in the built in window mode - Enables hardware mouse without patching any game files - Easy to use and configure through built in launcher and settings application - This is NOT just a simple borderless window maker like the other windowers for FFXIV out there With newest ver adding: # Multi monitor support. Set the window position offset in the launcher and play it on any monitor you want. # Alternative injection method (optional). It does not inject into ffxivboot and ffxivlogon. # The launcher will now inform you about updates. # The launcher now features tooltip help that explains every option and how to use it. # Priority boost. Sets the priority of the ffxivgame process to high when it is in focus and decreases the priority to low when it is minimized. I used windower the entirety of my ffxi time, and I foresee using windowerxiv all the time as well for ffxiv. Speaking of "Hacks" I totally forgot to mention I am using one. One of the reason you may be getting low performance is the client sets itself to low priority in task manager. http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/14676-ffxiv...official-topic/ This thing checks checks to see what the priority is and sets it it to what you specify (they recommend High, but I use normal). Oh and I totally agree with avoiding Goon Squad. They are from the 2nd best US WoW server, Mal'ganis. Not exactly the most fun folks to play with because they are highly elitist. Besaid looks nice. It also has ZAM (used to be Allakhazam) people there. I imagine their community to be the most mature because of their reputation for making excellent guides for MMO communities. A lot of their staff do excellent stuff. I imagine a lot of them will be a mix of FFXI and WoW players. But as far as community goes. This game is solo oriented, like WoW. It really is. Maybe there will be solid group content for NMs leves, but I imagine you can still do them solo. But most of the time you leveling by yourself. I would not worry too much about what other groups may end up your server, since you don't have to deal with them. Especially if you have a nice linkshell group. The main thing that will probably drive you crazy is spam from Gil Farmers. -------------------- |

I'm pretty much indifferent as to what server we are on, as I am gonna have enough people to talk to/hang with that a few bad seeds won't ruin it for me.
When I played WoW, the PA crew was pretty fucking chill, though. Did some raids with them. -------------------- Skype: Afroforce |

So its almost the big day, huh?
To those that are still playing the beta, does it feel like the game is ready to go LIVE? And to everyone planning on jumping in, are you ready to be there on wednesday, or on the 28th? I won't be able to make the early launch, but I should be good by the normal one. -------------------- |

My new motherboard should show up tomorrow (that is if I don't miss UPS) and hopefully be up and running again come Wednesday's LE launch.

The game has been getting smoothed out and cleaned up with each patch they release, but I'm pretty confident that the first month is gonna be a struggle while they iron out more and more kinks and upgrading their systems to support the live community. I feel like this is gonna be one of those games (much like how FF11 was) that you'll have to stick with it for a while through the bad times before it really starts to shine. The game definitely has a lot going for it design wise, it's gonna be the technical aspects that need working out as the game progresses. Again, I'll be there on Weds - probably playing some other game while fighting for a chance to download gigatons of patches. I will say this though, I definitely don't feel like I'm playing a WoW clone, which is good - but also bad at the same time. |

I have my Collectors edition coming to me early, but my new PC isn't here yet as my Financial aid money is being dicked around with. So, eh. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on my situation. But it'll be nice to game with you all, again!

Myself and a few folks from my server on XI decided to hit up kashuan since no major XI communities (to our knowledge) plan to gather there. Gonna try and get another friend of mine and his wife over there too. Personally I'm avoiding anything FF7-named like the plague as you just know all the rabid fanboys will gravitate toward anything with a name from it.

I'll be on the Wutai boat, I'm pretty sure I'll have a few of my friends coming, too.
Is the "Linkshell" going to be "Apocalypse Tribe"? That'd be swell. -------------------- Skype: Afroforce |
