Adventurers of Eorzea, Arise! (11/08/2012)

[miokomioko]

We got pretty much the following:

Server Message: omg Garleans are attacking Crimson Bark gogogo!
*Killed a dozen or so Imperial mobs at Crimson Bark*
Server Message: lol that was a diversion, finish up and gtfo.

Server Message: omg Garleans are attacking Ever Lakes gogogo!
*Killed a dozen or so Imperial mobs at Ever Lakes*
Server Message: lol that was a diversion, finish up and gtfo.

This is all the while Atomos keeps doing his usual spawning at camps and filling them with retardedly strong Voidsent minions... so it can be annoying just to pull the Imperials.

[Thuronn]

Come and log on for this awesome event. /stands around Camp Brittlebark for an hour plus

[miokomioko]

Technically, I don't think anything really begins for another almost 4 hours.

[Stromgarde]

Garlean attacks are currently ongoing and locations are being given via sysmes.

Edit: whoops should have read the rest of the thread.

[Niiro]

That's been going on for days now, it's not the final event.

[Siya]

Anyone on Durandal that could teleport me? Else I'ma have to follow this video lol... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob0kgX9v_WQ

Edit: nvm found someone on my old LS :D

[Draylo]

Did they stop the relic thing? I can't get one!

[Jamison]

I think someone was asking about a live stream? Here's one [click]. Not me, and not my server.

[miokomioko]

Did they stop the relic thing? I can't get one!

You have to be logged out via sleeping in an inn bed for at least 30 minutes. (Just in case you weren't aware of the specifics)

[Draylo]

Okay... didn't know that was a feature lol, I manually shut down inside. Thanks.

[miokomioko]

Yeah, the feature is generally that being logged out after sleeping in your bed for X amount of time, you might get to witness a dream sequence cutscene or get cute little dialog pieces that coincide with what you might find in your bed when you wake up by examining it after you log back in (wake back up).

Usually it's garbage like an egg, crystal shards, or a cookie from the inn itself... but they've all been replaced with full-blown Relics or 99 fireworks for now.

[Insanecyclone]

Damn Atomos is destroying this camp in Sag lol

[Siya]

Logged out to fix my sound now I got this popping up...

[Manako]

Not sure how flooded its going to get... currently around ~630 people hanging out in Mordhona, and an additional 200 in uldah. I suppose we'll see how many people try to connect last minute not sure that will amount to much.

[Jamison]

My flist is gone.

[Tsakiki]

They just posted this:

Currently, we are temporarily imposing login restriction on the players whose "End Date" is September 29, 2012 or before due to congestion. The restriction may be lifted when the congestion is eased.

The other players are able to log in to the game.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

[Raldo]

Well, that leads me to believe that it's going to give us a cutscene, then kick us off the server for good. If it was an actual battle event, there's no reason to expect congestion to ease up.

... and in case that wasn't clear, that's a complete guess.

[Siya]

Unless they release this restriction soon I'm gonna miss this... any streams going on?

[miokomioko]

Shit is kicking me off and taking ages to log back in. Fuckin' lols.

[Waraji]

Fkers. Wasn't even near Brittlebark, minding my own business by the lake, and get kicked and put into queue. This shit is alpha as fuq.

Edit: annnnd we're back in.
