Wow, I think I missed alot. Good luck Taerdin on whatever you choose to do, whether you play none at all or whether you play just a little. Now I'm worried about your apprentice, Zaphier (unless I've missed something else). Also Taerdin, just because you play video games doesn't mean you can't help people too. After FFX came out, during Christmas vacation I found time to Play 50+ hours, go to church and help at a local Rescue mission. "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Yeah... Zaphy may not be getting FFXI either now because he says I can only pay in 2 hour stints. Later in the game that may be hard to do... especially considering that you need at least 6 hours minimum just to get a chocobo! That means that just to get it its like half a week of playing. On the other hand, you can still accomplish a fair bit in 2 hours. I hope to see everyone in the game at some point or another, it is a very good game... my little Dark Knight got to level 12 last night :)
I saw the funniest thing yesterday though. There is this guy that a lot of people hate because hes a total wanker and is just rude.. so a bunch of my linkshell invited him into a pt where the preceded to teleport him to the Crag near Bastok (far from where they were) and Boot him!!! it was priceless! So just to let you know what people don't like:
1. Don't pointlessly shout, use only if you have just come on in an area and need a pt, or you are warning people of an oncoming train of monsters heading towards a zone.
2. Help people... lend money, give advice, and generally do what you can to be kind to everyone... unless they are annoying bastards.
3. Do what your party asks of you... if you are a whm do NOT attack enemies and let your mp get to zero and refuse to heal because you want to skill chain with a whm... I don't think I have ever seen that whm in a good party since that incident.
4. Give up items once in a while if someone needs something. There was one guy that refused to not cast a lot for an item that 2 of us needed for our job (it was a spell) because he wanted to sell it. He has since been blacklisted by a lot of people.
Aside from that, just enjoy the game! Its loads of fun
Wow, so you're finally a Dark Knight. What kind of abilities do they have (besides some Black magic and Blood weapon b/c I know about those). Also, since they have magic, is their mp really good or just better than an ordinary warrior's mp.Quote:

Hmm funny, maybe its me but i melee and attk too but i never let anyone die. Well then again i only melee on clippers and a few othe rmonsters that we are sure we can win against with little problems if everything goes right. So i whack, renkei, and heal. But i never do that against say a Dancing Weapon or a Archophilies which i know are hard to kill. And i dont usually get the jerk title...but then again it may be as i said, i melee against stuff which i know are able to be beaten.Quote:

I do 110 dmg with my renkei attk alone..yay :)
It was Asharu right? XD i was against the kill thing but i am all in for the boot thing.Quote:

*forget what wanker means* :eep:
Warriors have no mp actually (unless you have an mp bonus on weapons or armor)... drk has fairly low mp, but I have whm subbed so it adds a little extra. So far I have gotten 2 new things from DRK. The first is at level 5 you get Arcane Circle which gives temporary protection agianst arcane magics. At level 10 you get increase Pysical attack bonus.... I'll keep you posted on the others. I know there is a site out there that has it all listed...
Thanks Grand Lethal. How often can you use those abilities? Once every five minutes or so?
Oh, and I have one more question, if Taerdin is really not playing the game, who is the leader of the Matilda Knights?
Hmmm, I've completely forgotten about our clan sections. Not like they really matter much at all.
By the way, new FF11 movie at IGN. It's short but it shows some chocobo riding.
Now heres chocobos ^^
Nice pic. Your all so lucky geting to play befor the release. Maybe if I luck out I'll end up on the same server as the rest of you and can ride along once or twice.
I'm not giving up games completely... I play about 1/3 of what I used to... and I'm not getting FFXI...
But I will be getting other online games maybe... not yet sure of what the future will bring...
But meh... whatchagonnado?:D
I am soo getting a Chocobo......THATS what i am gonna do!!!Quote:
Tom Morello: But meh... whatchagonnado?
Also ..... Grand Leathal and the rest of the beta testers:
When the game comes out will you guys be giving the rest of the WLA a world pass like right away so we can be on the same server as your pre-existing characters?
I'm not sure whats happening yet with world passes etc... not even sure where I'll end up in the end. Have to wait to see what happens when retail comes out.. I know I'll be playing differently when the retail comes out.
What do you mean by playing differently? Do you mean more often, more seriously, etc?Quote:
Originally posted by Grand Lethal .. I know I'll be playing differently when the retail comes out.
Yeah, I'm gonna be playing more efficiently in retail... Beta was just fooling around, I think that I will not play as much whm in retail. I do like the class, but It was easier to level war classes. I think I wil actually be a Taru DRK/something in Retail. I have been having a blast as a DRK. I really didn't like BST after I tried it... havig a monster really pulls away exp... although you don't have to heal as a BST if you let the beast do the work. I do think that DRG would be fun, and I will try it in retail, but we'll see I guesss.
I can't wait until it comes out :)
Hey GL i wanna ask u..would it be better if i be a melee class first and then switch to my WHM? because u said its easier to lvl...and from my WHM point of view at the moment...easier and more gil is better...so give me opinions?
I also Have some Character Creation Questions....
I plan on Becoming Either Dark Knight/Dragoon
Or I was thinking about a Dark Knight/Paladan
Or a Dark Knight/Ninja or a DarkKnight/Monk
3 Questions
1.) Should I be Elvaan or Hume?
2.) Whats a good Class to mix With Dark Knight?
3.) AND Should I start out as a Warrior or a Monk?
Lionx: It is so much easier to level as a Warrior class. I can get to level 10 in a few hours with a warrior class (even without subbing whm) and the Gil is way better as well (especially around Sandoria). My DRK is now lvl 13 (almost 14 and I have only played it for 2 days and only about 6 hours or so), and I have only been in a pt once so far. I got PLD up to level 10 in just 4 hours, and I got WAR to 10 in about 5 hours before I switched to WHM which took forever to level because of the lack of physical attacks.
Nakor: DRK is a pretty hard class to sub for... well yes and no. DRK is probably the easiest class to solo as with the massive amounts of Damage they do, but the have horrible defence. I have been subbing PLD for the past little while, but if you are going to be in a PT I would suggest subbing WAR,THF, or BLM. WAR just gives you an all around melee buffer, THF gives you a little agi boost to attack faster and such, and BLM gives you a magic boost for the Bl. Magic yuo already possess and some extra MP. If you are soloing you can really choose what you want, but I llike PLD for cure and the defence boost. DRG is the WORST thing you can sub for DRK... they are weak defensively, and you can't use the wyvern 2 hour special as a sub... so that really only gives you enhanced spear and a tiny bit of dex bonuses. Ninja might be alright, but their major bonus is the ambidextrous trait (hold 2 weapons) which is pointless because DRK use 2 handed weapons all the time (scythes and greatswords). I haven't head much about monk, but it would give you more HP, so I can't see it being to bad... but again they are weak defensively so probably not great. As far as race goes, I think Galka make the best DRK, but Elvaan run a close second. I would definitely start with WAR though, it is versitile and MNK is pretty crappy as far as I am concerned... just my opinions though :)
Grand Lethal: How's it going? Haven't talked in a long time. I want to be a Tarutaru I'm sure of that, and I was thinking of starting off as a Theif, would this be wise? I was planning later on to have Theif/Monk then Ninja/Theif. What do you think?
Its a rough start as a Taru Theif, but later on Theif/Ninja is a great combo.
I am Not sure if I am Gonna be A hume or an Elvaan YET
But I Will Start Warrior then go DRK/Warrior for a while and eventually Become DRK/PLD
At least thats the plan....so far.....I'll Probably go Hume....
What if I started out as a Warrior, then when I've done the subjob quest, go to Theif / Warrior. Or is it just hard to be a Theif overall as a Tarutaru, not just when you start off?Quote:
Originally posted by Grand Lethal

That'd probably be a safer route to take. War added defense and such would be a real asset for a taru theif.
I think I may try and get level 30 again with my whm (lost it getting pld) and then go for summoner, ranger and bard, just for kicks :)
OoOo, taking a big step there with the Summoner. I've heard it's a pretty hard job to work through. Although I'm probably very wrong.
Thanks for the info Nick. ;)
I intended to read the entire thread, I really did, but around post.. um.. 40 something I got kind of bored and just decided to skip to the end. I'm interested in joining the clan. My email is Transfigurating@aol.com. My name is Leighton and my character will be a Mithra Red Mage named Josephine. So what server do we plan on going to? And are we going to use world passes to get everyone together or is everyone on their own to join the right server? I signed up at the guild website but didn't see a lot of information there (I didn't look hard either), so I'll go look again. Bye
Leighton
Grand Lethal check out ur mail from the website, im new in this clan...i was in the EoFF and have been on and off of this FFXI forum for 2 years, but thats besides the point. i want to start my own group, look in ur emails and it is there
Well we will be getting world passes within a day or two of the game release so we are all on the same server.
And we are located in Windurst......Thus the Name of the clan.
Have you picked what server we will be on though? I've got a little arrangement set up with a friend at EB to give me the game on the 28th to get a sort of head start and to wait a day or two for a WP to arrive is just... forever.
Leighton
grand lethal would u be able to escort me if u keep ur levels......because i wont eb starting in windurst, because im gonan want my stupid elvan ring because i have a feeling........anyways can i associate my self with windurst afterwards?
Yes, you can switch country loyalty at any time, but you lose missions and thus rank points when you do it. I won't get to keep my character from Beta though :(
As of right now I don't even know when I'll be getting the game or how much I'll get to play it.
Why won't you get to keep your character GL? Did you not get to lvl 40 or was it for some other reason?
lvl 40 still not confirmed.. and I never made it anyway
besides I want to start from scratch in retail.
About the server..i talked to Mojo and hopefully if ur ok with it, when i get into the GA server i will personally try to invite as many of you guys as possible providing that you give me a list of players and stats so i know whom to invite. ^^
And they patched it i think, about the alliegence thing. No longer do u lose rank points. Or was that Conquest points? o well.
Lvl 40 means entrance to expansion areas.
By GA do you mean the Garuda server? Also, does anyone know if the "delete you character and make a new one" method will work for getting a new server? Or will once you have a server you're stuck there till someone sends you a world pass. From what I can tell there are 8 servers that are American only and therefore empty (with exception to the BETA server) so all new players would more than likely wind up in one of those servers since the randomization of servers is supposed to exist to balance the server populations. So basically if the delete and try again method works, on average you wouldn't have to start again more than 8 times (as opposed to the roughly 30 total servers that exist). Is anyone from the guild going to be in charge of putting together a list of everyone who wants in and setting priority?
Leighton
GA=Glorious Alliance
An alied clan.
Your stuck in til u get WP. They fixed the bug.
Theres only one Beta server, Cactuar.Quote:
(with exception to the BETA servers)
There will not be "american only" servers. Once the servres are up, yes they will be predominently American, but if a New Japanese player signs up, chances are he'll end up on a new server as well. We'll also see a lot of importers from Europe and other areas when it comes out.
By GA Lionx means the Glorious Alliance. I'm still unsure about the whole idea of being on their server though, I suppose it would be helpful, but with them being in a huge LS and us being in a seperate one, whats the point really? I barely get to see members of the LS I am in in Beta right now, and it is 100+ strong. I do like SavannasSuperstars, they have ben very helpful, but I really think that its not soing what its supposed to do. There have only been 2 times that I have actually gotten physical assistance from my LS. Once getting to Jueno for the first time, and once getting the BST advanced job. Everything else I did I had to rely on others for assistance. (well the dragon was more of a fluke, they asked for my help and I just happened to need to do the quest :) ). I do understand that in the game you can't drop everything to go and help an LS member, but I have seen people leave a party to do so... just to let you guys know, there is a lot of politics in this game, be prepared for that.
Is there a master server list somewhere? I found one site that listed off the Japanese and American servers. The American servers contained every Japanese server but only had 8 additional servers that were not listed in the Japanese servers. I also didn't see the Glorious Alliance server listed.
Leighton
i was just thinking....how big will The Windurst Liberation Army be? is there a cap as too how many peopel can join. i think it wouldn't be great if there were mad people. like 50 is a lot of people and allies if ur on the same server, or even have 40 on one and 40 on another, but if it got crazily big how would it work? woudl it be as organized....i havent played an mm so i don't know
We really don't have a limit right now, we did at one point but...to many people get lost from the clan or whatever so we don't even know how many people we have at the moment.
Ok, a little late, but oh well.
I'd like to join this so called "WLA". I think it'd be a pretty good idea to join up with a clan at the very beginning, to, y'know, make it easier on myself. Since I'm probably not going to get anywhere fast going solo the whole time.
So, yeah... I'm still thinking about what my character (size/race/job/etc.) is going to be... Right now I'm kinda thinking either Hume or Elvaan monk/thief maybe... but I'm hearing that monk isn't a very good job... Oh well, I've always liked that job, so I think I might start off as a warrior and switch over. Or something. You'll have to forgive me if I sound like I don't have any idea what I'm talking about; it'll be because I don't.
Seeing as I first read a small blurb about this game a long while back in some magazine, I didn't have much interest in it. Now that I've read the recent edition of PSM, I'm kinda interested. Kinda really interested, and looking around feverishly on the internet for any scrap of information I can find.
Ok, enough of my babbling. My e-mail is crazy_sponge@yahoo.com. I don't have an MSN messenger yet, let alone an MSN account, so I'll have to get back to you on that.
One more thing... Are they going to be doing another beta test period, or anything like that? I highly doubt it, but I'd like to know if they are, so I can sign up.
-spongeman
Well if nothing but getting parties easier and mantaining relationships i guess you can be on the same server. I would like to play with all you guys really, and you can always switch around in LS if you really like to ask for help.
dont wanna lose you guys and the SavannaSuperstars are trying to get on the same GA server too. So really its b est if we can all be together and all. Its alot more ppl too, so we should see each other every now and then more often.
Have no fear, Grand Lethal and I are working on a new face for the WLA, a new website. It won't be too long till it gets up and running, I just need to get pictures of landscapes in Windurst and also buildings and such... looking in your direction Grand Lethal and LionX. :o
I would say we are at about 10-15 people who will be very avtive.....Definatly Not more than that right now.
I hope we do get a few more Active people to join.
Its a lot easier to recruit in game, so no worries. I figure we'll be 50+ strong once our name gets out in retail :)
Yea, no fuss with the word passes if our later recruits are already in our server. At that point our limit will be whatever the linkshell can hold, like 70 or something like that. I don't remember
Well i dont think theres a LS limite...i mean the Superstars i think have over 100?
It seems like everything I once knew about FF11 is now invalid. =O
*kicks the beta people*
ill be very active....once grand lethal answers my email and gives me command of my theives and ninja ofset
keep the info coming
There is going to be a change, I don't think we'll be having any guilds. It looks good on paper but in game it doesn't serve much purpose really. Main importance will be actual guild involvement.
so no guilds anymore then.......when will the site forum be up?
, what will we get out of the clan and what will we haev to give to it?
*laughs at beta people*
At least you get to keep your ID, buddy list, and whatnot if you register right off.
Nothing really for now. We'll all just be on the same linkshell and we'll let it snowball from there.Quote:
, what will we get out of the clan and what will we haev to give to it?
Well that sucks for me even though I wasn't a beta tester cuz now the beta testers wont be so albe to help us with buying world passes and stuff as easily.
I guess its up to those of us who have pre-ordered and can start right away.
I have to laugh at all the people that busted their asses to get to level 40 thinking that they would get ot keep their characters becuase of it. I am sad that the Beta is ending but in a way it will be nice to get back to living a life outside of Vanadiel for a while. It was great while it lasted, but it'll be much sweeter in retail (oh, and it sux for ps2 players becuase the game isn't coming out until early 2004 so it'd be a couple months of paying for POL without being able to use it f you register now lol) I am not registering... half of my 'buddies' will be on different servers, so whats the point?
im ready to play..... oh well link shell will eb cool. look forward to killign wiht you dudes....does anyone have any updated info on pking?
Yah I do.
(SPOILER) If you PK me I'll Hunt you Down and make your Life Hell!!!
I just got this e-mail and man do I feel spoled now:

Wow, so that means that you can get the game and start playing before the official release happens? Better start earning gil to get those world passes...
Leighton
I guess I'll see. All it says it it'll be shipped a week prior to the release of retail... doesn't day f its the PS2 retail or PC retail... knowing Sony it'll be PS@ and I won't get it until a week after PS2 retail is released because I live in Canada and it took an extra week to get it shipped here :(
Oh well, free game and HDD... I'm not complaining :)
Well if you were beta testing it for the PS2 I'd assume their sending you the retail version for that. Apparently Square has been prepared for this for a while, with all the servers being ready and what not. We've all heard that the only reason Square isn't shipping the PS2 version yet is because Sony is giving them hell over the HDD. And given that the PS2 and PC play on the same servers, I wouldn't see why anyone with the game, an HDD, and an internet connection couldn't log on right now and play.
In retrospect if I had thought about it enough I would have purchased the game in Japanese and played it in America. Then as soon as the U.S. verison shipped I'd install that version so I could understand what the NPC's were saying. The community factor would suck given my lack of fluency in Japanese but at least I would be playing it...
Leighton
It's hard to believe that FFXI is coming out this month. I need to hurry up and get a new computer. I probably won't get to play until Christmas though. You know they took so long to release the game, I'm not even that excited about it anymore.
Guess what?! Zaphier is back again! Ah yes, now I can laugh at all the newbs again when I just pop out of nowhere and reclaim my high position of authority over all, 'cept like GL an' Alpha and... wait, Taerdin is gone... damn it, Master.
So, I'll go skim all the posts know to see whatever I've missed.
*usurps Zaphiers position*
Also Tries to Usurp....Unsuccesfully......
You can't usurp me... we're just... special... we don't really have positions... yet.
We're just better than the newbie members who haven't been around for the last year and a half. it just gives us authority that people have to respect. So... respect.
Hey everyone, glad to see that WLA has still survived all this time even though it has been a long wait for the release of FFXI. Just letting you all know I'm still around and I will be very active once I get my copy of the game.
Ive been here a couple months......thats more than some......
Anyways Is DRK/Samurai OR Samurai/DRK A Good Mix.
not sure about DRK/SAM... I'm sure it would work ok though. I can't believe that Beta ends in 8 days... I'm so sad. I hope I don't have to wait for PS2 release to play... stupid sony and not wanting to release the HDD...
I like my classic combination of Black Mage/Thief. Well, maybe not classic, but it'll work until I work up the nerve to become a... Summoner. And that's right, all you bi-zatches will have to be my guardians when we go to kill the summons so I can... summon... them... *dodgy eyes*
Welcome back Zaphier.
Good to be back, Master Ultimage.
[STRIKE]Now that Zaphier's back it would be great if Taerdin would change his mind about the game. Oh, and since Zaphier was Taerdin's apprentice, should he be the new leader of the Matilda Knights or should Krystic, b/c I believe that he was second in command.[/STRIKE]
Next time I should pay more attention to what I'm saying.
im just writing, im mad borred this game better entertain me after the mad dinero thats gonan go into it
its really up to you how interesting it is.
Its kinda like a you-Have-as-Much-Fun-as-you-want Game
i love that u have to oput soo much time into it but it sucks cause i have mad school and work and chicks.....im gonna be weak in game but ill still enjoy it
I just mean that some people wont be able to accept that this game is designed for Groups of people....
Not Solo....
Even at a high Level There are monsters that will slay you..... Because you were never ment to fight them All alone....
If you cant get into the whole play as a group thing then you will never get very far and wont have any fun.
ill deff play in groups at least 60% of the time...and itll be great to venture out aloen everynow and then to test urself and get aloen time...just liek in real life
I'm sad master left. And the Matilda Knights no longer exist as far as I know... *shrugs*
I get cable on Tuesday. Go cable internet! Super-speedy FFXI with my awesome connection speed and kick ass graphic quality!
Wow, your lucky, I still have 56k. Maybe I'll be able to get broadband one day.Quote:

My DSL has been getting slower and slower everyday somehow. According to the statistics it's been getting close to the power of a 56k... I'm told we'll switch to cable soon if this keeps up.
Hm... I'm just wondering. I'd like to be able to contact some of the newer members. So if you have one, could you tell me your AIM screen name or even better MSN messenger email if you have it.
*poof*
Im back, again.
Yes it seems that more and more people are joining the WLA, i just hope they are actually registering at the real site....thats where is counts guys..
Im curious about a couple of things, since you guys seem to be so organized, how hard would it be to start a group?
Also if I were to fail in creating the KS you think it would be easy to join another group?
oh we're organized, we take pride in creating a clan that everyone feels comfortable in....making a clan is hard and takes a lot of social work....
...unless u just wanna make a group and call yourself a clan without having any fun ideas...
I want to make a clan that is made up of people who are loyal to the Kingdom of San D'Oria. Of course there would be an Alliance to other kingdoms in order to participate in big events that would be for the greater good.
Besides, I meant that while starting in the game would it be difficult to start one? Like would it be difficult to gather people that are loyal to the Kingdom of San D'Oria.
I want it to be a clan that is worth recognition and respected, like the WLA or Deusarum de Bastok. Do you really think it would be possible?
It is very much possible, but more a big pain in the ass. Keep in mind the WLA has been around for a year and a half. At this point, I think it is exceptionally hard to make a clan, especially because of the release date in two weeks. Most people already have their clans set for them. I suggest waiting 'til the game comes out to find some non-clan-associated people.
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the complement Crono9051.Quote:

wow, complement.....
Valarm u have the greatest clan in the world!!!!
*snickers*
my aim is LL3endsLL..........feel free to im
um....who is he?
I just have one final question, concerning the rings. If I were to be a Hume and start in Bastok in order to get the ring, could I still change to San D'Oria.
Also thanks to everyone who has answered my questions and if I am able to construct The Knight's of San D'Oria do not hesitate to ask for anything it would be a privelage and an honor to aid in your endevors. My characters name would be Crono, I will try to be on the first server. I look forward to our next encounter.
Sincerely, the future commander of
The Knight's of San D'Oria
no, once u start in bastok u are a bastokina no matter wat, unless u delete ur caracter and make a new one....
and good luck with the name crono, its a popular name and i hope no one takes it before you.
Actually if you go to another country you can talk to the ppl there and change your alligence for a fee. That way you can do the missions in other countries too.
So hey whats the URL for the official WLA site and Forums?
Also My MsN e-mail is Milamber_of_two_worlds@hotmail.com
Windurst Liberation Army Homepage - at least that's what I have it bookmarked as =).

We are starting to get organized again, but it sucks because I will not be getting the game until March apparently, so yuo guess will have to set up the foundation for the WLA and do a little in game recruiting.... remember... only Windurstians will be allowed in the LS, but we can still make friends with others. Gather Gil, join guilds and make me armor lol! I want to have a free ride when I start *snickers* I'm joking of course, but as one of the first beta people to play I know what it'll be like to start on a fresh server... no cheap stuff at the AH and no people in other nations to send you armor... it'll be a rough start. All I can say is kill crawlers for thread and Calculus and give them to the quest people... fastest way to get money and get to level 10 :)
have fun while I'm not there guys
yes, i agree with what GL said about tryiong to get as much money as possible and joining guilds in the beginning of the game. We have to stick together, and i believe everyone from the WLA has to contribute something to the clan, if its new armor, money, even recruiting new members.
Starting out on a new server wont be that easy so we have to try to do wat i have said above. And getting to lvl 10 is a great accomplishment, it will show many people that the WL is serious about protecting Windurst and making windurst number one n the conquests
i just dont want to see any leveling whores. People who level constantly and do do anyting else just show off (in beta i hated those people, in the first 2 days a i see a person lvl 15 already.....:mad2: )
Grand Lethal, as a Beta tester aren't they shipping you a free HDD and the game when you ship back your Beta stuff? I read on one website that Beta testers will be the only people playing FFXI on the PS2 until March because even if you import an HDD from Japan, Square is only making the PS2 game to ship to Beta testers and won't produce the final copy until February to include all the latest patches. Basically they made it sound like all Beta testers will be able to play the game on what ever format they were testing it on.
Leighton
i heard the same thing, but i asked many beta testers in the game when i was playing the beta, and they said no, they got nothing in there email stating that this is going to happen....only a mere rumor im sure.....
...unless SE surprises PS2 testers with a special present....:)
Grand Lethal posted an email that he got from Square about 20 or 30 posts ago that said he would be receiving the game and HDD when returning his Beta stuff. So unless GL made that email up or Square takes pleasure in torturing innocent Beta testers (though I don't know GL well enough to call him innocent) it would appear that the rumor is true.
Leighton
300
(sorry, I had to)
wow i KNEW someone was going to do that
woohoo!:p
I know GL well enough to say that he's not innocent. He has a little girl and we ALL know what that means. He's gonna kill me when he reads this, but that's okay. I'm more worried about what would happen if his wife read this, she might stop talking to me and would go back on her comment about me having such good manners.
Grand Lethal, you still working on them pics of Windurst? It'd be great to get a start on the remake of the website soonish.
Greetings all! I've been wishing for an FF online game for ages (first FF was FF ;) ) and have been hyped for a long time now over FFXI. Just pre-ordered yesterday from my local EB, so should have it within a couple of weeks :).
Any Anarchy Online players in the house? I'm a proud member of Coven of Hunters on RK2 (Clanners R0xx0r!). I will be playing FFXI for the 30 Days that comes with the game to see if its as uber as I'm hoping... If so, AO's going to take a backseat for a while...
I'm here looking for a group of people who'll help each other out with questing and item sharing and whatnot, and are into getting around and seeing just about everything the game has to offer... You know, professional Hunters :). WLA seems like the place to be, as I'm going to be in Windurst anyhow and everyone here seems like a good set of gamers who know what they're doing.
I'd like to take a stab at asking my Org Leader if she would mind me setting up a FFXI Branch of CoH, but regardless of whether or not I pull that off, I'd like to stand up and be counted as a member of your group. Meeting new people in on-line games is awesome and is really what it's about at the heart of it all, and having people to share with and count on early in a game can make all the difference in a first impression.
Will see you all around here, and if your an AO Clanner on RK2, PM me here and we can hook up, I have a 135 Enf and an 80 Shade :)
I am Starting A coountdown.
16 Days left.....
P.S. I just got Halo for PC to hold me off till FFXI gets here and its pritty damn good.
Just used the Sign-Up link on the main page. Entered my Username (Ichy), my password and my hint... Go to log in right after and it tells me my username and password don't match... So I try the hint ans sure enough it sends me back the right password. Something going on here I don't know about? Is there a sort of verification period?
Edit: Err... stupid Ichy... I forgot to allow cookies from the site, NM.
there might be a verification time that it has to pass through, welcome to the WLA and trust you will have a good time, WLA has members that are Hardcore FF fans and know wat there doing. Its gonna be fun.
Woaw, we do? You're blowin my mind here.Quote:
WLA has members that are Hardcore FF fans and know wat there doing
*cough*
Anyway, welcome Ichy and all the other newcomers that I was too lazy to welcome.
Ty, ty, Krystic and Alpha.
Alpha, I love yer sig. i quoted that to my mom just now when I went out for a cig and she near stabbed herself knitting while she laughed at it.
I always though "anti" was the opposite prefix to "pro"?
Leighton
As a PS2 Beta tester, I WILL be getting an HDD and Game, but unfortunately according to e-mails from sony (those responsible for distributing the HDD and the contributing to my frustration) the HDD and Game will not be shipped until the PS2 release sometime early 2004 (around march). So yeah, it really sux :(
Welcome all new people *waves*
I hope to see you all in the game soon... 2 days left to enjoy FFXI for me before the big wait
Welcome to the WLA, Ichy!
*slaps Alpha with a stolen rotten :skull::skull::skull::skull::skull:* Don't ask.
yes welcome all!!!
all are welcome...well the people who care about getting progress and working good with other players.....NO BIMBOS!
In other words, no level whores.
EXACTLY!!!
You know who you are...
I have nothing wrong with people who lvl like nuts. If they chose to ignore all the eye candy, NPC stories, musical scores, quests, humor, auctions, and all around basic hanging out and enjoying the social aspect of it all...... *catches breath*...... Then that's their loss, not mine. What it amounts to eventually is that I have a high lvl buddy who can give me tips and provide me with needed escorts now and then. In exchange I offer a tour of all the wicked cool stuff they overlooked on their power trip to "win" the never-ending game....... Been saying it for years, "There is no single player MMORPG"..... heheheh... gotta go bend a spoon.... :p
Well, in FFXI, quests'n'such are a BIG part of the game. That's why we don't want level whores in the clan, because they miss too much of the game and won't tend to help out when we group to beat certain bosses and stuff, defeating the purpose of a clan.
Yep, I know it, and I'll be there for as much of it as I can while you aren't busy being there for it for me! Only thing I meant to say is that "lvl whores" (as you call them) ARE good for the overall community in the sense that they give virtually unlimited area access to lower lvl players. All good.
Edit: I worded this pretty poorly in the first sentence... I meant to say we would help one annother, of course.
Is this thread still open? Wow. Have any of our threads ever lasted this long? I mean, ever?
Hey, I'm back. Firstly, I'd like to welcome all the new members I haven't welcomed yet. I'm sure none of you have any idea who I am, though. Basically, I was one of the WLA's original members. I've been AWOL for a few months now. Again. Sorry.
Oh, and just so I'm contributing, I also have no problem with those who level like mad. Just so long as they don't become condescending or drunk with power.
Ah, to be back. How sweet it is.
Not condescending... and won't be trying to power lvl until I've experienced everything in my range for that time, after all I AM paying money for this, I want to get the total package..... I will most likely be drunk on occasion, though and believe I am more Uber than reality :p
Naw, all of our other three threads are longer than this. I say the WLA makes up for about 40% of the total posts in the place.
No, Itchy, I wasn't calling you condescending. I meant in general. People thinking they're better than others because their level is higher. Bah.
Heheh... I got that the first time, no need to explain :)
And here I thought I was the only one who second guessed what people were reading into my posts ;)
Just making sure. It would be bad to offend someone in my first post since coming back, ne?
Meh. I offend people ALL the time. And often make a fool of myself... I don't really care too much about it really. I'm just like that, I guess.
But anyways, we need to get down to business on certain issues as to what server we will be trying to play on. I believe this is best done through messenger, however. I hope that because Krystic and I are getting the game right away, that we will be able to work on getting everyone on the same server... but I don't know. Does the make/delete option still work? Krystic says he thinks they're working on something to prevent that... maybe we're wrong. I hope so.
Sorry, edit/delete char thing is taken out permenently
Hmmm. Time-wise this thread has lasted pretty dang long due to how slow we were getting posts compared to our other threads. But we've had threads hit 800 posts before deletion.Quote:
Wow. Have any of our threads ever lasted this long? I mean, ever?
I've been lurking on this board for a while, and have decided it's time to start posting. Your guild is the most amusing I've seen (and the name is great), so I'd like to join.
Robert
i hope our amusement isnt the only reason you are joining.....:mad:
You gotta be a good proud member of the WLA and will have to help everyone in need for the clan, and to have the most fun...
so welcome!:p
Well... I wont be truly Dedicated to this Clan Until I am on the Same Server as at least 3 or 4 of you Higher Members.....
Untill then I am not getting my hopes up.....
I welcome every who has joined the WLA since my last post.
Also, I hope to be getting the game within the first few days that it is out, so if anyone needs help getting money for world passes or anything, just ask me.
Hiyas guys i joined WLA last Nov. or Dec. cant remeber which. Just found out about EoFF from Grand Lethal.
I doubt anyone knows me i didnt say much of anything on GFF. Ill be getting the game on the PC release date.
Ill check these forums off and on over the next couple weeks till i get my new Comp. about 7 to 4 days before the release date. I hate haveing to go to the Library to check e-mail and forums... heres a web site we may be able to get some Wp from them they are already in game and they have a spot in there forum were u can request WP http://www.ffxionline.com/ ..
The first time i typed this i accidently made it a New Topic so its not just here LOL GRRR
tis beautiful...in fact i am a leveling s-l-u-t (to go backwards), but i level like crazy then experience a good amount of game whiel working with clan, then level like crazy again (but not as much as the initial leveling)
levelers are useful in many ways, and everyone plays differently, just because we level doesnt mean we neglect clan
well yeah i guess and no
...but some leveling whores have WAY TO MUCH TIME on their hands, and dont sleep.....
*pukes*
although i would like to be a leveling whore and have tons of time to play a game during a weekday, i cant however do to demands i have.
I never neglect my RL responsibilities just to play, it just so happens I have very little else to do in my off time. Chances are I'll be far to much in awe of all the little things I notice in the game to be considered any kind of lvl whore (not to mention it's been said all over that lvling in general is pretty slow anyhow).
EDIT: Been talking it up on my Org's forum from AO and I believe I have a few transplants migrating with me to FFXI. No guarantees or anything, of course, but I hope they find the same interest in the WLA that I have. Would be nice to have some old mates at my side :)
I remember way back last September or so when Alpha and Taerdin talked about playing 40 hours a week. Now, Taerdin won't play any :cry: and I haven't heard how much anyone else will play. I hope to play about ten+ hours a week. Most of that time will be traveling, leveling, finishing quest and mission, etc and whatever is left will be spent in guilds and stuff.
Go cable. I feel so, fast. And welcome to new and old members alike. I love everyone here, even if I don't show it. Only the oldbies know that though.
I hope that I get cable when our current ISP contract runs out. Then with the new computer that I hope to get, FFXI ought to run pretty good.
Alright WLAers. Report to our new location, compliments of Krystic, the co-temporary leader of the WLA while GL is waiting for his PS2 version.
This is our new home, though the site is still being worked on. Please note the message asking about anyone with Photoshop 7.0 for help with the banners'n'such. We hope to have the FFXI/Windurst look to it sometime in the near future. The fora, however, are completely functional and ready for use. So sign-up and post often.
If you have any technical problems, contact Kyrstic, he made the damn thing, I just help mod in a section or two. =P
Edit Ah yes, a link would be nice, eh? http://teamwa.no-ip.com/index.php
Alright, I'm heading there now.
Cool Website!
"Follow your captains into battle":D
Seriously though, that website seems worthy of the WLA.
Right, I merged the thread CloudS_1 made with this and then scrapped his post in it since you don't really need to make a whole new thread to announce it when it's announced in here as well =P
I registered and clicked on teh link but i am having trouble logging in. :eep:
Me too. Theres probably a waiting period.
I'll try again Later.
Did you look in the email that you got with your name, password, etc in it?
I've made a thread at the new forums about sign in problems, hopefully Krystic will figure it out soon.
Er... well, we've been having problems with that. Email confirmation is a bit off, if you want, I can look up your password, I think, and tell you what it is in private. Then you can log in and change it.
Krystic said that if the people with problems email him, he can manually set their account up and they can change their password later.
looking good...but what happened to the one with the part wher eu can pick ur face....is that gonan be on new one............and btw i can work with photoshop 7.0, and i can use image ready to make mild gif animatiosn as well
Yah mines not working....
My member Name was "Nakor" if you need it.
Nakor, you don't show up on the memberlist. Did you reregister yesterday, because Krystic changed the site and everyone had to reregister.
KireiBlood, you should contact Krystic or Zaphier at the site and ask them about it.
bloody hell.... I re registered while I was ther because it said I didn't exist.
I dont know whats wrong either..... I'll just try again later and I'll make a whole new Name.
EDIT: Yah Now it says My E-Mail is already in use.
Send Krystic an email. He may be able to help you like he helped Lionx.
hey nakor i hooked you up with ur username and password. i sent you an email so check it out
The link in the e-mail said error regestering....
Might be because its older than 24 hours....
okay this is the last esort, i have to make this public......log in with the name Nakor and out password "blue"
there you go your in!
that worked and I changed my password already.... thanks
works fo r me
About how long does it take to recieve the email?
I was told within an hour.
oh ok thanks. Cause site said a couple seconds i think so i thaught it was broken or something.
Ok I made A Banner for the WLA .... I think its cool But who know what you guys will think...
Took me hald an hour or so.
In case you Cant See the Attached File:
http://nakorblue0.tripod.com/cgi-bin/EoFF/WLA
Also Its the Right Half of My Sig Right now....
It looks good, just seems odd to have a Hume as for the portrait since they're not one of the racial residents of Windurst =).
Leighton
As much as I want that ring, I'm playing a Hume in Windurst. I think alot of people will be going against the natural placement of the races... Can you imagine San Doria being full of nothign bit Elvaans? Boring.
I just Used The FFXI Pic I had Handy.
I didn't even Care what Race Starts Where.
It Looks a lot Better Up Close.
Last time I checked we had a banner, the one at the top of the new site. Green an' everything, the one in GL's logo. We don't actually even use the flag. *shrugs*
Yujinshu
i fixed ur name....
use passwrd "army"
oh and everyone who visits the new forums go there and vote in the WLA Events section. Its important
Thanks Krystic =)
mine is working on and off.....this isnt cool
Launch day and our forums are down... Anyone know what's up? I was really hoping to watch them like a hawk the next few days (not that I don't already ;) )... Hope they're up soon.
My other loggin isnt working for some reason so i made this new one. I dont know whats wrong with the fourm i cant get in either.
EDIT: grr i Guess those of us in WLA getting the game today will have to use the EoFF forums. to bad i dont get it today.
They'll likely be up sooner than later. Aside from that, if there's no new info, check our home page, just in case updates are posted there... as they very well should be :p
They'll probably be up sometime this evening. Only a few more hours to wait until I leave school to pick it up.:D
yes, the site is down due to server upgrades and a new mailing system that will be enabled soon on the site.....
Ultimage, dont get a WP, the plan was scrapped.
Dont lvl up ur character to much today or tomorrow either. I will be getting a WP from a friend of mine either today or tomorrow(29th) then i will start the WLA WP chain
I will send one to you definetly since u will have the game. Just telling you....dont level up ur character since u will have to amke a new one. Lakshmi is out......unless thats were the leader of SS is going on......SS is the linkshell that was in beta, bycnh of friends of mine and GL's thats wat we are doing server wise.
Cool cool. If ya still got a WP slot open come Sat Mornin, save it for Ichy! Going downtown to get my pre-order fairly early in the game. I figure barring unforseen problems I'll be installed and online around 1200-1300. (same time zone as j00)
I should have the game tommorrow morning (the guy at EB swears they will have it then.) I'm looking forward to playing with y'all.
Aconite
And I, of course, feel out of the loop. My computer is too FREAKIN' SAD to run FFXI. I don't have the money for either an upgrade or a new rig, and my parents flat out refuse. I have to wait for the PS2 version. Utter kuso.
Stupid Local EB.....
He said.... "uh....Tommorow or the next day....."
so its the 29th or 30th for me....
But, by Noon on the 30th it WILL be in my hands......Or else People start Dying!!!!!
It's the 29th that it gets to the stores. It ships today.
MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THE WLA THREAD ABOUT WP BLOCKS!
LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE AROND HERE START DYING!!!
its Almost Noon on the 30th and I wont be getting it for a few DAYS now!!!
Well hopefully the whole WP thing will be all solved by then.
[B] EDIT: [\B] YAY!!! I got It about 8 Last Night. Many People Had to DIE!!! This morning I will get a Credit Card # to use and Hopefully By Mid-Night (I hear its long and Problomatic) the Istallation will be Compleate.
For any Members of the WLA that havent found our new fourms the link to them is

Hope to see some new members............
Well Looks Like the WLA is on the Midgardsormr Server.
In case anyone is interested.
Seems like Oddious and I are the only ones still using this Forum. :D
I still come here, just not as often.
The WLA sounds nice except that I'm on Leviathan.
Well if you go to our Forums and main site and sign up at both well get you a WP to our server... then you can join or great grp..;) :tongue:
P.s. call me Talos not Oddious lol
Can you transfer characters from servers? I'd hate to start over with my character.
nope... you cant....
Who in WLA has this game cuz I am playing now and dont see any of you guys.....
I have the game, but I can't play.
Why not?
I think his video card sucked too much to play or somethin like that. I forget.
By the way, due to the fact that Alpha was taken my in game name is now Draxyle.
Yeah, it's something like that. I'll hopefully be playing sometime in early December.
Whats up with ur forums? they down again?
They're down right now and there is a test forum up. I don't know when they'll have the other one up again, although, it shouldn't be too long.
Hope it's not too long, I have WPs for people that expire Saturday night for people who are on my block list. They hadn't posted since 16Oct03 according to the board's listing and if I don't hear from them by tommorow I'm going to try to give them to friends of mine who are playing. Then, when they complain that I didn't get them their WPs I have to explain to them how they didn't keep up on the forums to get them. I had a warning out to them for several days before it got taken down for maintenance...
Kieriblood, if you're reading this: Like I told you in the "Where is everybody thread", I have a spare WP for you if you contact me FAST. The password is at home, which I won't be getting to until 2130 EST tonight, so I hope you get this soon... The pass expires 08Nov03 at 2100.
The forums are back up, but you have to reregister again.
Werid says Lionx is logged in but i didnt register there yet, and i cant seem to log in as well...so wtf
You have to Re-Register your account ary man....
Mwuhaha! I am user #3 and I have the 1st post EVAH on the new WLA forums... Yeah, that's right, Ichy Ownz :P
/super-mega-ego-trip
Seriously, Oddious, you may wanna change yer sig here at EoFF... You're not Talos in-game as you had originally planned... Someone might see a certain big hulkin Galkan go lumbering by and think it's you ;)
The same thing happened to me the first time I went there. If you had the computer save your log in information, that could have something to do with it.Quote:
