I just got back on after 9 months off.
Asura has gone down the drain, but at lest the everything went up in price.
If you wish I can get you a WP(world pass).

I have a somewhat unrelated quesiton about FFXI. I played for about a year and then I decided to stop about 5 months ago because of time issues. Now I've been wanting to go back on. I reinstalled it and went to register with Playonline but the registration code wouldn't work. Is there anyway I can go back on without getting a new registration code?

Something not mentioned about the beds:

If have one in your Mog House, you get the key item "Mogenhancement: Experience", which lowers your EXP loss when you die.

I'm in Dunes and I had to log off since my mom wanted to use the computer though. GREAT party. I was there for 45 minutes and I leveled up once and I was really close to leveling up a second time. Like 500tnl.

I have Blizzard and Warp scrolls on me ready to use once I hit that level 17 mark. I'll probably stay until level 20 then go back with WHM.

I do believe they will allow a one time World Shift from the already existant worlds to Hydra and from Hydra to other worlds like they did with Hades when it was released.
I mean, it would be really homo if the X-Box 360 players got to level 50+ on their own world, started shaping an economy and were suddenly forced to go somewhere else.
Btw I didnt know you couldnt lose exp on lvl 1 and 2 X) Even though you lose 10% exp when you die in FFXI, it really isnt that bad at all. I mean, on level 50, if I die, it takes me 3-4 battles (depending on the party formation, around 60 secs each battle) to get the exp back sweatdrop Besides, as you get higher level you will get careful parties, with experienced pullers/tankers, and rarely ever die.
BUT, there will be really sucky days, where you will die 4 times just trying to reach the camp. It's all good though. Play at your own pace and dont stress yourself much over deaths and exp. I'm not sure if it's my long experience with MMORPGs, but I play in a very relaxed way when it comes to leveling/grinding/exp loss (I even make fun of my own deaths XD unless they are caused by stupidity like the WHM or RDM going afk without saying or just not healing because they arent paying attention).

[[BloodyScreams]]

XD I guess you just gotta trust them mages.... All the other MMORPGs I've played you would lose a lot LESS than 10%.... After coming from a game where a single battle willk earn you back your XP, its a big jump.... I get stressed a bunch when I keep dying over and over and over and over.

I heard that Asura's economy completely died... I hope it straightens out...

And for the record; I am still not sure which Server to go to... sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop

Carbuncle is my home. Has been for 2.5 years, will be until Square-Enix shuts the game down!

Our economy is alright. It was really bad not too long ago, but thanks to SE, most of the gilsellers are gone...so our prices are dropping down...a lot.

Venomous Claw (main synth item for the Scorpion Harness/Scorpion Harness+1) used to be peaking at 12,000,000 gil, now it's floating around 5,000,000.

[[BloodyScreams]]

Dang.... But ya know, deflations are much better than inflations.

Gilsellers... Wouldn't that include the people selling the 'millions of gil' on ebay? Just type in FFXI and you get an entire page of it....

Deflation kind of sucks too. Since there is so much more gil in the economy, it's kind of lost it's value. I remember when you'd see a Scorpion Harness on someone, you'd think "Wow! That guy must be loaded or he got the drops and had it synthesized for him!" Now, I see people with a SH and I think "Wow, another person with that armor..." With the drop in price, these items are easier for everyone to get, which sucks when the worst players on the server have better equipment than some really good players.

I've heard from multiple people that the policy has been changed to 1 year of inactivity before you can no longer recover your account.
