FFXI Private Server... (Might be old?)

[Ikith]

Yeah what did happen at the fan thing?

[Auspice]

If you are the first person officially showing that you have a fully working privat server you will most likly get legaly punished. Only when the amount of servers is extremly high, like RO, L2, WoW it becomes almost imposible for the company to remove every single one of them and as result they won't do much about them.
I don't believe that there is any working privat FFXI server tho. I still look on project XI forum every few weeks but theres no progress at all most of the time. In my opinion atm the only way to get a working server is getting it leaked from inside of SE. A bored GM or a guy whos getting fired or some random person stealing the server version at a fan fest or game expo.

That part made me lol because someone tried to do something similar this year.

I didn't hear about that, Fanfest was pretty ho hum this year except for all the drama at the merchandise booth when SE didn't bring nearly enough product for people to buy.

A private FFXI server would be fun for a few reasons, but just killing time for shits and giggles would be a big one.

1) Fixing shit that's been ignored for so long, obviously.
Granted, stuff like King congestion would be an issue on a small server, but other things like jugpets getting lost on zoning, spell lock, etc..

2) Playing around expanding job diversity and strengths.
Some jobs have a lot of JAs, like THF, while others have none aside from their 2 hour. Even in the case of THF, things like Steal and Mug are ho hum. Just feels like SE's never delved deep enough into job themes to create enough worthwhile abilities.

3) Creating mobs that behave uniquely and must be therefore fought as such.
Not talking AV stupid, but maybe more like a good Zelda boss where some kind of pattern could be established and specific counters could be doled out to either inflict maximum pain, prevent wtfdeath, or reset things to lead to that point again. Mob AI now is pretty bland.

4) Create a joke zone.
Think Diablo's Secret Cow Level, only FFXI appropriate. NMs could be various FFXI community personalities and fight as such. Stereotypes aplenty here.

So instead of having three thirty page threads on AV, we have them on Rukenshin instead.

Nerd similes:

A private FFXI server would be the equivelant of being your own DM while playing D&D or playing M:tG against yourself.

More or less. Perhaps we could argue his weakness is a lack of LJ updates.

[Charismatic]

Or rather... he feeds off the sorrow of the players when his LJ hasn't been updated in awhile and the only way to defeat him is to fight shortly after a LJ update.

[Fallso]

Well there's this one, and another one that's being worked on by a different set of people, there was a thread on KI a fair while ago about it.

[Charismatic]

They should form-up like Voltron.

Got a link to the other one?

[Fallso]

Closed source project, only the devs have access to it. One of them happens to post on BG! (If they're still part of the dev team atleast)
