XI Wiki
Trying to get back into MMOs, played Fisher Price's MMO for a while but I'm looking to actually enjoy shiz. However, I can't find a copy of this game any-frickin-where in Chicago and unless I have the wrong webpage, they're not selling it online either.
I'm working 70+ hr weeks right now, so I'm kinda out of the loop. Is there something I'm missing, or is there a way to get started that I haven't heard of yet?

afaik it's just the digital d/l they stopped selling. You should still be able to buy a hard copy through the SE store:

I have an extra PC download code, but I wanted to use it for dual boxing. Make it worth my while

The only way I was able to get my copy was to call around tuesday mornings, which is the day most retailers get their shipments. Best buy, walmart, target and gamestop will even update their site with which store has any. Every copy in my area that popped up was gone within an hour. I just got lucky that a best buy 5 minutes from my house got a single copy.

That's pretty much how I got my hands on a copy.
My amazon shipment was taking forever and my friends were progressing without me, so I started calling local places.
Omw to one store where I had placed an order for store-pickup I got a text notification in my car that ooops they didn't have it in stock after all and cancelled my order...
Walmart, Best Buy etc were sold out or holding copies and the 4th Gamestop store finally had one copy left which he tucked under the counter for me. Voila!

It sounds like they stopped shipping retail and just sold through store inventory at the same time they stopped the digital distribution. I hope they get back to selling soon, they've gotta be losing crazy amounts of money right now with the amount of people who wanted to buy the game but couldn't.

hmm... won't let me create a character on the NA servers, says no connection - but the JP worlds are up and available. probably a bad idea to create on JP, guess I'll wait. assuming NA servers are down atm.

This is why God created a thing called pre-ordering.
It's 2013, people.

nah, like i sent in PM, the servers are shit. NA/EU and JP don't matter for character creation. Actually getting the servers to be up and unlocked is an entirely different story.

ok, i'll start up on JP then. thanks.

JP or NA registration code does not affect which servers you can create a character on. Close the client and reopen til the NA list shows for you. Happens some times when the lobby servers are getting pounded.

The queues are normal but normally take less than a minute to get through.
