The "I'm still trying to download the update" threFollow

#1 Apr 20 2005 at 8:43 PM Rating: Good
I bought a can of Ranch-rageous Pringles, a 2 liter of Mt. Dew Code Red, and was all ready for a nice evening and most of the night of FFXI.

I've been downloading, reconnecting, not connecting, POL-1160ing, etc. for 6 hours.

All my Pringles are gone.

This is agony.

I still have like 450 files left to download. T_T

Edit: I actually have exactly 420 files left to go...how coincidental is that? CRAZY.

Further Edit: Now I'm down to 414...

So I figure I pay $0.465 a day for FFXI, so I've decided to demand my payment for this day back...

However I think I'll just be laughed at and then told to go away :X

< is one frustrated cat.

EDIT: Dammit...guess you get off the hook tonight, Maven. =_=; Stupid bats can't fulfill their contract if I can't get INGAME...

As of just a few minutes ago there hasn't been over 800 people on ragnarok since the patch was done. I've been on for the majority of the time and the congestion is keeping people off the server. Nice for farming and stuff cuz not as many out there and it helps on getting an xp pt but it also keeps a large quantity of people that you could xp with off line also. Was hoping to get my sam testi tonight but didn't happen.

The xp curve is quite a bit of difference. 66 - 67 required 35k but now requires 28,750 or something like 27,500. It's about a 2 hour difference just for that one lvl so some will be happy about that when they pop on.

There are times when more than just an abbreviation is needed. This is one of those times. :D

I had some business stuff come up last night and tried to download it while I was working on it. I got sick of trying to reconnect, so I'll save the download for after work today. Hopefully my plants are ok.
