Hi,

I bought FFXI today and I just can't register it. I've installed the player and updated it but I am stuck at the next part. The manual is rather pointless and I'm getting angry.

Can someone run me through how to register, ie what options ?

Which version did you buy? The PC version has all the relevant keys pasted into the back of the box, the 360 version has them inside the last page of the manual.

You have to setup a PlayOnline account then create a content ID and insert the keys for FFXI (and all expansions that you have) into it.

I'll be on till about 22:30 and I'll keep looking for posts.

Nick.

[edit] And if you want a worldpass for Diabolos - where Diddly, Crumpo and meself reside, let me know here. [/edit]

World pass will allow you to select the World (Server) on which you create your character - 1 of 32. Believe me, I tried all I could to create a character on Diabolos at random, but no chance. <_<

I'll PM you the World Pass - works for 5 uses, valid for a week from about 10 mins ago. ;)

Final Fantasy? Probably something which lets you have spikey hair, a big sword and improbable gravity-defying breasts :P

My character is Elvaan as well - home town San D'Oria. Currently MNK:27, WAR:23, RDM:22, BLM:17, WHM:16 and I haven't bothered with THF yet.

Get stuck into the Tunnel Worms and Wild Rabbits initially then Pugil's, Forest Hares and Carrion Worms. You don't lose any experience for being incapacitated (killed) up to level 4, but beyond that you lose 10% of the experience points total required to go from the level you're at to the next level. Inconvenient when you drop a level though.

What's the character's name? I'll look out for you tonight!

[edit] Still can't type for toffee..... [/edit]

[edit2] You add expansion serials in the content id menu, I forget exactly which, I'll check tonight. [/edit2]

I managed to add the 3 expansion serials at last :)

I'm not sure what city I'm in, but I think its the Elvaan home one, my char name is: Lelldorin

Edit: I'm in San D'Oria and totally totally lost :D hehe

Try going out of the east gate in southern San D'Oria, get the Temple Knight (<name> T.K.) inside the gate to cast Signet on you (mobs drop crystals to sell or craft with) - then go round the corner (north-east-ish, no distance at all) and bludgeon some bunnies and invertebrates. Watch fighting skills (Sword, Parrying, Shield, etc) going up gradually (get used to "gradual" :) ) and repeat. Press down on left-stick to "heal".

When you get a stack of 12 crystals of the same type (sort inventory to stack the stackables) then see what price they're selling for on the AH and put yours in at about 5% below that - quick way to make some cash for armour / weaponary.

If you want some cast off armour / sword, just give me a "/tell Axolotl" tonight - I'll be on about 20:00.

Oh, and cancel the rest of your free-time pursuits - you've now got a developing case of FFXI!

I still haven't played anything else when FFXI is working (i.e. not updating). <shakes head>

Have fun!

ps. Like the name - his favourite weapon? Has to be the bow, methinks. :) David Eddings makes me laugh!

Time to defend the only 360 game worth playing so far methinks.

Firstly, very "funny" Dunk. <_< :rolleyes:

Maybe it was an ironic post coming from someone who's been trying (and obviously failing) to get his mates to play Football Manager, but I thought that was unecessary and rather out of character. Consider yourself slaaaaaaaaaaaaappped. :P

And I wish you clueless fuckers would get the image of FFVII firmly out of your head - FFXI is nothing like a traditonal, single player turn-based FF, and is basically a complex Everquest clone without a spiky hairdo in sight - in fact most of the hair is disappointingly floppy.

And a "it must be just another FF game" crack like that from Zed (the only living fan of the Armored Core series that are all the fucking same) is even more ironic. Fucking duh.

blimey - you get out of bed the wrong side ?

I have played FFXI (all be it for only a few hours) and also played for extended times Star Wars Galxies, World of Warcraft, Everquest, that Camelot game and City of Heroes

All of them had that initial hook of a huge world with "real" people - was good to meet up and go on missions and be part of a community - but for me the novelty soon wore off - it may be beacuse I am simple but I wanted more from a game than what ended up as a glorified chat room.

Until they manage to get a game with the story and (potential) never ending quests of Oblivion along with the online fun of City of Heroes (the best imho of these type of games) then im not going to bother

Oh and as for the slap - Ha - the comment was certainly not out of character - it was just a piss take - something which up until now always seemed to be taken (and given) in good spirits by all members

try not staying up so late Mr Grumpy ;)
