The question is, would they have the means to get mob stats? Because if so... oh hell yeah

I suppose so. I figure when this is released, I'll host a server and get a group of friends to fight fafnir etc and do some crazy shit.

Should be fun.

i was pretty sure that everything was set but like, they didnt want to do it cause you have to pay for private server content id to be 100% legit or something?

either way, wtf TURN ON PVP AND LET FAFNIR COMMENCE

I would so want to completely do that. Plus you can probably give yourself like the uber gear just for kicks.

Yep, just gotta wait.

BG forums private server? Patch it up to be everything FFXI is not.

[Dammerung]

There still is a good deal of data that is still stored only on the server, right? Synthesis, drop tables, stat tables, battle mechanics, etc.. how would a private server emulate these?

You would have server side and client side files. Server side would have databases.

Easily. We know what drops what, we know what level monsters are, we know HQ tiers, what know mob TP moves. I think we have all the knowledge we need.

It can't be exactly like real FFXI though. Unless people know mob specific behaviors, and tell the dev team that you'll see stuff that's pretty much right but not exactly the same. Like when Jorg does his triple whatever at under X% life. The devs would know he uses that TP move and others but unless someone tells them, or they just happen to be the super coder guy who plays FFXI and has fought everything then he wouldn't know.

Of course that's good and bad too, a new challenge, new mob behavior, and modifiable. Fresh new fight every week, new 2h for each, different TP moves and frequency. Even new mobs with new TP moves I would think wouldn't be too hard, give Goblin Weavers Phalanx 2.

Between all the information out on the web (4 year old game now?) and a lot of input about mob behavior someone could write something that's easily 80% like the real thing.

Private servers are always fun to fuck around on. But seriously, lol @ the OP for turning that post into this:

Basically they can trick the servers into thinking anything they want it to. Several people have witnessed them trick the sever into them having claim on NMs before they even pop. (i.e. it's unclaimed, but everyone will get the "already claimed" message) See that measley 1gil in your delivery box? Hmm, let's tell the server it's 999,999,999g.

[Sykes]

It's a LOT of work to create a private server with mob behaviors that reflect their actual ones in game; however, it's definitely possible.

Unfortunately, the truth is that anyone who tries this (or rather actually accomplishes it) will probably be sued in to oblivion.

No, They can't sue them that easily. Do a bit of research.

Or they could make a PTR(Public Test Realm) like wow (god 1.10 ptr was fun ww)

I'm just the messenger, no expert.

on a side-note your sig kicks mucho ass

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but doesn't everyone love a Tucker?

[Xiona]

private servers will never happen, FFXI CoP dev team would hunt you down irl if you actually fixed sea

Potentially you could create you own stats for weapons/armor ect. Correct?

In theory yeah but, id imagine putting something like Avatar Perpetuation cost - all on a staff with 950 dmg and 20 delay would be a bit difficult, BUT YOUD HAVE BETTER BHAFLAU BURNS IM SURE
