    Servers still down? I slept, went to work, and they're not up yet. I live in Japan, I shouldn't have to deal with this!

    Hmm looks like I need a VPN in order to play until they fix this isp problem they are having

    Well the forum thread I posted in is littered with people on the same ISP as me with the same problem that started at the same time. I'm pretty confident this will be fixed, just a matter of waiting I guess.

    Whatever this patch is, it didn't fix my lag spike/dc issue. Starting to get a wee bit cranky about it. In the meantime I guess I will level up gathering.

    As a warrior I go out of my way to break CC, I'm an AoE tank, hit everything, I don't care!

    Tanking top level shit, I rarely use overpower anymore. I use flash, and hit one target with a 1-2, the other with a 3. Only on packs of 3 or more will I use overpower and it's only 1-2 before going back to 1-2-3 combo on the main kill target. Tanks also do get a taunt - it just works a...

    It can happen anywhere. It happened in Hard Mode Garuda last night while I was main tanking. Everyone disappeared, including the effects of the whirlwinds, and I kept dragging Garuda around in a circle between the pauses. People said I was still moving to them and complimented me on my tanking...

    I have a frustrating bug. Every now and then, the game seems to cease updating to me. I can still move, and people say the see me moving in game, but on my screen, it seems like everything pauses. This can last from .5 seconds to 5 seconds and occasionally disconnects me with a 90000 error. Any...

    Apart from not being able to roll on a server, server problems have been whined about far more than their worth. Honestly apart from the first few days of duty server issues, I haven't had a problem with the servers

    Bullshit. I've worked in customer service. If they refuse to help you, request to speak to their manager. If that manager refuses to help you, ask to speak to their manager. If they refuse, tell them you're recording the call and ask them again clearly if they are refusing to escalate your call...

    Nearly everyone. I didn't make the "tick" for the "In?" column, and most people didn't bother with it.

    People click polls even if they aren't intending to play. A better measure is the link in my signature to the Guild signup sheet.

    It can really help to complete quests, if rather than trying to tag everything, you invite as many people around you as you can into a group. If anyone tags you get it, or if the group as a whole does 30% you get it. It's the only way to complete some of the quests right now. I know, having to...

    Late edit so I'll add one more thing. I am looking after people. I'm looking after the 140 people who have put anywhere between 1-50 hours already into the game on Gilgamesh. I volunteered to run the guild because no one else wanted to. We have long time FoH regulars such as Vorph, Adam and Sean...

    140 people should reroll for what, 5? 10? people who haven't managed to get on Gilg. Mmhmm. We're not rerolling. 0 chance. You can either keep trying to get on Gilg or you can not play with the group. The server is fine for the vast, vast majority of us. I'm sorry for the people that didn't get...

    Reading through the achievements on the linkshell, some of them are quite interesting, like: Armed to the Teeth Obtain a Curtana, a Holy Shield, a pair of Sphairai, a Bravura, a Gae Bolg, an Artemis Bow, a Thyrus, a Stardust Rod, a copy of The Veil of Wiyu, and a copy of the Omnilex in the...

    Thousand Maws is gated after Story Content, but not all the instances are. Halitali for example has nothing to do with the story quest.

    Once 3102 started they clamped down on the server. If you really want to get in, get on mumble, and listen for when the server comes up, because there's a high chance it will be available for new characters. Also, have a character pre-made from the character creation system so you can just...

    There hasn't been any queues. You're talking out your ass. I've logged out and in several times tonight. You can either be a whiny bitch and go elsewhere or you can man up and roll on Gilg. Either way, I don't care. We're not moving 115 people because you have your panties in a bunch.

    That's not accurate. Gilgamesh locked and unlocked at least a dozen times over the beta 4 weekend. We had a steady stream of new players being able to create accounts and log in. If you missed every single window, you haven't been trying very hard and you have no one to blame but yourself.

    Over a hundred people from the boards managed to get in no problem and make their characters. What's your excuse? In other news, the FC is up and paid for so don't worry about sending money. Any officer can invite, just send them a tell

    Due to the game's predominantly negative reception, the president of Square Enix, Yoichi Wada, announced a major shift in the development team in December 2010, with Tanaka announcing his resignation as producer and leaving the company. Naoki Yoshida became both director and producer, with most...

    It's because those dates mean that you actually /paid/ for three months and didn't just stay subscribed while soaking up the free months the game offered

    You can, but keep it to 200, I'm pretty sure I can borrow 5k from two people on Mumble, or even 10k from one, and that will keep it easier in my mind to remember who I have to pay back and how much
