    The ones that irritate me are the ones connected to regular quests (story included). If the instances are down, it means I can't run dungeons for a while. Fine. But it also means I'm locked out of quests too, so I have to find something else to do. Today that meant hunting logs. I really wish...

    That's strange since it didn't sound like the issues were too large based on that post by Fennin. Maybe the 90000 error is pretty bad though?

    So, now that people are hitting 30, is there a list of legit job requirements?

    They may have fixed the server, but the NA/EU world server is fucked again. Edit: Still getting 10102 errors.

    Looks like someone got the CNJ (or WHM, I think) unicorn at a level 30 quest. I wonder if the other classes (or jobs) get a unique mount too?

    I think it's just bouncing people. You can "log in" but it gives you an error 10102 immediately and throws you back into queue.

    Fuck, 429 people in queue.

    It's funny, the last time I tried logging in, it said JP servers couldn't be loaded. I still couldn't actually log onto Gilg, but at least the japs had it worse for once!

    Huh? This time I got kicked just from regular zoning. Won't bring up NA servers again. Did they bring them down without saying anything?

    So while still down, can anyone tell me what the point of ranking up in your GC is? I'll probably have another 2k seals soon, and if it's worthwhile will spend them there.

    Yush! Made it into queue. If you get the launcher without authentication, just wait. After you do enter user/password, wait some more cause it'll look like nothing is happening.

    I either get blacked out launcher, or launcher without authentication. Boooooo!

    ARR shows all servers down still. That said, I can now log in but the start button is greyed out, as opposed to the error message.

    I'm on west coast and got a terrible 4ish hours. I think I may have actually slept for about 1. And I know for the Friday of open beta, it opened late, like 15-20 minutes? Nice, arrstatus.com is basically getting a ddos.

    Tradeskilling is pretty entertaining in it. There were lots of people who said they normally loathe it, but ended up spending hours fishing. And yeah, the ability to change on a whim is awesome. When I was leveling up my secondary classes, I could switch to whichever one was closest in level...

    Yeah Traak, sounds like you might like arcanist. Get to heal and DPS. ^ Just to caveat that last post, like I said, you still need to level a regular class to 10 to unlock class switching. And an example, I have both carpenter and botanist leveled close together. I'd gather 99 logs (on...

    2013 NFL Season

    Yeah, I was just looking up his contract info. He's guaranteed $6.5 million this year. That's fucking crazy. It's literally all based on a single game since he's only started 2 regular season games as far as I can tell, and the first he didn't play all that great (250ish yard, 3 TD's, game...

    Wow, Matt Flynn 3/6 for 19 yards and 2 interceptions. Enjoy being the worst team in the AFC West this year, Oakland. I still can't believe he's floating around the league like he is just based on a single game.

    Yes, once the 27th hits, you can buy the CE stuff as an add-on for $19.99. Everyone starts as an adventurer class. Once you hit 10, you can change classes (technically it's a story quest that allows you to change, so don't neglect the story quest). At 10, you can technically pick up every single...

    So I didn't do any leves last week. I just unlocked them and moved on. I'm wanting to go with goldsmith for my main crafting class. Do I need to go with Ul'dah as my GC in order to get seals from the crafting leves? Or will I be able to somehow use leves from other cities to farm seals on...

    GP is a gathering bar, kind of like mana, that you use for gathering skills. You're limited to what your bar is per attempt. So increasing it yields many more attempts to either increase HQ chance or gather an item. Edit: Changed that, cause it's CP for crafting, GP for gathering.

    It'll probably be a little bit before we get it up since we'll have to get someone up to 25 first. So probably at a minimum an hour if servers aren't borked. That said, refer to the list on the first page. At least half the people on that list can invite you to the linkshell. The linkshell is...

    Probably. I missed out on quite a few FATEs on my 2nd and 3rd (and 4th and 5th) classes because I couldn't run there fast enough. If I'd had a chocobo though, it would've increased my leveling speed significantly. Same for getting to class quests, hunting logs, first runs to dungeons, etc...

    What do the different GC's have to offer for crafting/gathering? Is it a leve issue? As far as the GC's for adventure classes, I believe they're slightly tilted as such (have links to full armor sets): Maelstrom:Tanks Flames:Casters Twin Adders:Melee/Ranged DPS

    Strange, because this one is time stamped from 20 minutes ago, and yet it says: But the one I got with the RAAE code (where I input it on the 20th and error 3'd for hours) was time stamped on the 20th and I didn't get it until yesterday.

    I'm just saying, people love to trot those two out. Thousands of years of history, and that's it. And not only that, but it's not even agreed that their accomplishments were their own, or that someone else wasn't working on the exact same shit.

    Considering the cost though, it doesn't really matter what our priorities are. Not sure if FC housing is separate from player housing, and if it is, if it costs even more. But it sounds like 100-200k for small, 300-500k for medium, and probably around a million gil for a large house. If FC is...
