Id still suggest giving it a day before jumping in -- hopefully they have new servers opened by then

Well, I'm trying to possibly find someone on an established server that can loan us the gil to get going and get everyone invited on, that way we dont have to make money before we can invite more on. I'll let ya'll know how it turns out.

Alright. I will keep trolling every once and a while to check on updates from you. Except when I go buy it, heh. I'll have to try and distract myself from ripping the box open and playing. Maybe I will install and patch, then go play PS2 or something.

Worst case, I break down and make a charecter. I'm weak, it could happen, if it does, I'll gather info about world pass prices, ect. I'll get workin on gil to, if I happen to land on a good server, and everything works out, I'd be glad to help bring people over.

I keep looking around for server information, and all I can find is this:

quote:
Q. Will there be any new Worlds [servers] created in FFXI for subscribers to the North American version?

A. Currently, we have no plans to do so. When service begins, it will be possible to create characters in the already existing worlds [servers]. FINAL FANTASY XI is a cross continent game where players are able to communicate and play with/against other players from around the World. We will be creating new Worlds [servers] however as needed to accommodate our customers and provide an appropriate player to World balance.


That bugs me. But also something that intrests me.. "It will be Possible to create characters in the already existing worlds .."

Does that mean it will also be possible to create in new worlds? Or is this just a bad case of mis-speak?

Only time will tell!!

I'm hoping one of my local stores will have it in, but Best Buy said they would get it around November 2nd, and I haven't checked GameStop yet. I may wait a day or so to play, thanks to DAoC.
Moo.

So .. I drive on over, walk in about 1:10. I am extactic, I can't wait to get this game. (what can I say, I'm an addict.) The guy that works there, he knows who I am. Hes a nice guy, so I walk up to him, and say "Cough up Final Fantasy eleven!"

Of corse, the shipment has not arrived yet! Told me to either check back later on today, before they close, or that it will definatly be here tomorrow. I then proceed to drop to the ground and throw a temper tantrum. Okay, maybe not. But I was dissapointed it wasn't there, like I was told. I think there may have been some confusion with that store though, cause every other EB has it arriving tomorrow in their computers. Just my EB had it in the computers wrong.

Now .. what the heck to do for the rest of the day? Sigh.

My friends and I are getting it tomorrow (Ryutsuke didn't grab a preorder though so we're hoping they'll be nice and give me or a friend two copies).

And yeah, I've been flipping out to my friends about the server stuff. I'm hoping Square will just go "OH SHIT AMERICA HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT THIS GAME" and make a few servers.

I'm half tempted to not even bother with this just because we have to play with people already high level. I might not be playing this just yet Fal, get me later for the world pass.

The Fred Meyer here had the DAoC expansion on their list of Oct. 28th releases (it wasn't there) but FFXI wasn't.

If it's not there tomorrow I might just go down and check some stores farther away.

I imagine they're going to throw up the emergency-overload-holycrappeople servers. In which case I'm going to try to land on one, or get a worldpass to one.

I'm sorry, Fal, but I really don't want to play on an already established server. That's just a horrible idea.

I really don't either. But if they dont throw up the emergency servers close to the start, I really dont want to wait long. We'll see how things pan out, though, tomorrow. I've got a few ideas for how to do things.

Or you could buy it and give it a couple days. they are gonna need to open the new servers tomorrow most likely.

I'm willing to wait a day or two to create, if absolutely necessary, too, if it means we'll get a server. I'll see how stuff pans out tomorrow.

Well, so far as of today, which includes the signups from yesterday and today. Thier servers have had no issues, not even a hiccup, and there are no plans to institute the backups.

/vent on

FUCKING HELL! I went out to get it, and to my suprise, my pin number would not work. Bunch of crap, because my bank recently sent me my pin number because it hadn't worked before. Bull-shit. They sent it out, and it still didn't work.

So after this, I figure, "Hell, why not just go over to Gamestop and see if they have any left!" So I do that. I get there, and they tell me if I had been there two hours earlier I could've gotten a copy of FFXI.

/vent off

Fortunately, Best Buy is supposed to get them on the 31st, so I should be able to get a copy then, considering they didn't have preorders for FFXI. And as long as I can get some fucking money out, i'll ahve it by Halloween.
