The serversFollow

Nicely done good sir.

Bored at work? {Understood.}

This board needs to get as active as the FFXI board. I need something to do.

Well...

I'm still very undecided. I haven't played in a good 3 or 4 weeks. I've reinstalled Windows and haven't installed FFXI again yet... So in essence I suppose I am retired.

But there are things in FFXI that I'd still love to do. I still love the game and lots of the mechanics. The thing that got to me was the undercutting. I would farm then wait for stuff to sell for weeks because of undercutting.

I dunno. I may go back, but probably not. My friend was playing yesterday (I had brought my computer over to his house, as well as another person, and one of them was playing) and the graphics don't even compare; even the low end graphics I'm playing with on EQ2.

And I'm a serious EQ fanboi... It's my roots. I started when EQ first came out, and have loved it ever since. I suppose you could say FFXI was just a bridge to a greener pasture. =P

But meh, we'll see. I'll probably cancel my account but not sell my stuff. that way, if I want to come back in 3 months, I can.

You?

Edit (about the board and being active): I like how there's already a "gil selling" thread on the boards, and the game hasn't been live for 3 days.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Being in college and single does have its advantages.

Is your 7 year old intrested in video games at all?

I don't doubt it has its advantages. I personally would much rather be there (married with kids) than here (not married in college) but yeah, all in time I suppose.

Hmm... Odd they don't have a RP server on the East Coast.

Maybe most of the RP weirdos are on the WC

Hey!
My friends and I are going to be playing on one of the RP servers.

Same test as Jute, but from West Coast. Test specifics at bottom.

Interesting to note the same times of the original testing
from East Coast to East Coast destination where acheived from
the West coast. Very good times from this location to West Coast servers. Pretty good pipes here.

Orchard Valley Coffee Shop
Wireless link with
Direct Ethernet Feed to ISP, with DS3 backhaul to Globix in Santa Clara, CA.

- Journey far and fare well!

I'm guessing in offices in Europe.

I forget who the publisher of the game is in Europe... I know it's not Sony, but another company who markets and hosts their games in Europe.

Square-Enix will be doing the Japan servers.

Being from England, maybe I can clear this up.

*does some tests*

East Coast

Befallen - 102ms - 199.108.202.33
Runnyeye(UK) - 98ms - 199.108.202.129

West Coast

Storms(French) - 34ms - 195.33.135.193
Unrest - 160ms - 199.108.12.161
Valor(German) - 34ms - 195.33.135.161

I'd say yes, they seem to be in Europe. :)
