[Karbuncle]

We got this message when opening said ticket (it still opened a ticket where we filled out the information) and wondering if its relevant.. maybe i'll poke one of the mods and ask :L. With the bugs and crashes and etc they all just may be super busy with higher priority stuff.

It means our ticket bot reached capacity. We have hundreds of people submitting tickets at the moment, sorry. Clearing them out as fast as possible.

[Karbuncle]

Yah that was my fear, no hurries.

Did you guys ever create that linkshell? Just now giving this a go and wouldn't mind playing with some like minded folks

3 days of playing this made me realize why I swore I would never play an MMO again. I become an addict laser focused on hitting a goal. Literally the POL warning screen flashing in my brain like the Vietnam flashback meme pic. So walking away while I still can.

Server is fine though. No complaints for it being a free server. Had fun reliving my college MMO.

Opposite for me. Older I get, the less patience I have for time sinks. I've been playing Phantasy Star Online on a private server because it's so pick-up and play.

Enjoying my time with nostalgia. Was still at 3.6k people online last I checked. If people do want to get that fix out, I recommend doing so while the server is popular.

i can't imagine accomplishing anything in this game 20 years later. literally everything in 75 era ffxi took multiple hours to do shit... the only reason most of us had all those epeen itenz back in the day was because we were all kids with no responsibilities lol

Could do it all again with my free time after work... it would just take a lot longer >_>

Installed this last night to scratch the itch, wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if there's just no gamepad support yet? Every time I click the gamepad settings thing in the launcher it just crashes to desktop, and it doesn't seem to be naturally detecting my controller. If there's no support yet do we have a time frame for when?

[Kiarax]

A lot of people have had that problem but it worked just fine from the get go for me, are you running the launcher as admin? Probably needs permission to run another program.

Didn't think to try that, I'll give it a shot tonight after work.

Just because the game allows you to do stuff faster doesn't mean he's not going to play it endlessly, if he's prone to that.

Correct. The speed of progression means nothing. Whether it's WoW classic or retail, FFXI Horizons or retail, ArchAge: Unchained, Everquest, FFXIV, even Old School Runescape, it activates the same behaviors. I recognized that after 3 days of playing this after swearing off MMOs at Archage 1.0.

And you're probably asking what behaviors.

1) completely losing track of time to hit a goal (ie hit job level x)
2) Partying with friends, a few who have never played FFXI, recommending some of the addons/plugins but they wanted to get the fresh experience. Got mildly frustrated at the QoL stuff they were missing.
3) Telling those friends that if we played optimally, I could pull way faster. And without TParty and proper macros for status reporting (no I never got into lua/xml gear change macros I quit XI Summer 2005 before those became a thing) damage was definitely subpar. I was like old man yelling at cloud and immediately saw that I was no longer thinking of playing on Horizons casually.

Snapped the hell out of the loop yesterday and got back into reading books like I promised myself I would do nightly.

Just a fun update for me, we've had over 12,000 unique logins to the game. That means 12k people have actually logged into a character and played longer than 1 second. Blown away!

Rule 8: MPK (“Monster Player Kill”). Adventurers may not harness monsters and monster mechanics to intentionally harm, harass or kill other Adventurers.

I was bored at work and was watching a stream today of someone playing earlier and apparently other private servers are sending bots to twitch chat to spam copy pastas and dicks in their chats lmao so pathetic
