They have to do something for the people who are still way too hardcore.

I have nothing but confidence in you, and very little of that.
Yeah, for anyone confused about not being able to set multiple linkshells, they added the UI but not the functionality. Because reasons, I guess.

Anyone know if SE bans people for using cupper? Last time I played they were against it and would ban you if you got caught using it. It was just sort of hard to prove you used it.

keep it down up there!
Jun 22, 2006

How's it goin' eh?

Nothings changed there. Pretty sure there is just 1 GM now so it's pretty safe to just hack away.

SE basically is reactionary now with banning. There are actions that can trigger flags, such as running old zones 'too fast'. but almost nothing is actively watched. They more instead respond to GM calls and review potential logs for information or spot check you after you're called out by someone.

Thanks, Frodnon and Bugs o' Spring, downloading cupper now. I am glad I can run faster than normal.

They don't even check the logs anymore really. So many times I got flagged for traveling through a zone too quickly and nothing ever happened.

Bot away.

They will however ban you if you're a complete moron. My current LS leader just lost three characters. namely an afterglow Tizona...All because he ran Myproject in a way that had him still running loving point to point laps after dying and homepointing to the auction house HP in west adoulin.

They still will answer GM calls and I'm sure someone made one, which is why the guy got popped.

They do not go out of their way to check logs anymore though.

Yep. Exactly what happened to him. I also know the jp (and to lesser extent, lovely na players) are bitching about exp/jp/ spark farmers on the official forums and frequently gm people for being in gates or rak for "too long",

If this was mentioned earlier, please direct me... but what is Myproject? I've used cupper and exiled for a while now, but haven't heard of this. I'm at the point in FFXI where if I get banned I really couldn't care less, and quite interested in what myproject does.

Myproject is basically a botting suite that some guy who barely knows how to program made by cobbling a bunch of other people's programs together.

It bareley works, you have to do some voodoo hoodo magic to make it work. At least in my experiences.


P.S. Just saw Jamiemadrox running around. Did Jamie sell his account or does he really not like me anymore? I hope he sold his account, because my anus is bleeding.

I'm a stupid moron, with an ugly face, and my butt smells, and I like to kiss my own butt.

That said, I picked XI up again for shits and giggles. Stuck on Asura with no one I know to play with. Is there even enough of a goon presence left to switch servers? At this point I'd just like some conversation while I plug along with alter egos.

Oh gently caress everything. I started in Gilgamesh, it got merged into Carbuncle, and then the few friends I had left in the game went to Asura. I have stumbled into the lion's den.

You can transfer to Quetzalcoatl(our goonshell is called GetOut), not many of us but it is better than nothing. We do stuff occasionally, we talk sometimes, but most of the time we are playing afk while we play a real game.

Active FFXI Goons,
Are you tired of endlessly waiting for a Delve shout, only to wipe on t1-4 NMs due to Wolfevangelist's profound incompetence? Do you miss the days of being completely unable to walk leisurely through Whitegate due to congestion (too many players [not the stuff in your lungs])? Then I may just have the answer for you! Transfer to Asura, where there are Delve shouts aplenty and zones so crowded you'll long for the days of fewer-than-500-players-online. You heard me right! No more waiting to wipe despairingly and hopelessly to Podarge, or to eat yet another Incinerating Lahar! You can jump right into the action on Asura!

Potential benefits of coming to Asura:
- Access to a larger player base than most other servers (much larger NA population than Quetz). That means more opportunities to wipe in Delve or Incursion!
- POSSIBILITY of joining a thriving and active endgame LS that regularly mercs the stuff that you want to be doing. (I'm a pearlsack. Be a helpful, active, good person, and I'll get you in.)
- Failing the above possibility, you can always purchase mercs for a reasonable price. Something that other servers seem to be lacking (lookin' at you, Quetz).
- No more trash bags that rip and tear.

Potential risks of coming to Asura:
- There is a cool, active Goon community on Quetz. While the server itself doesn't have much to offer, GetOut does. By transferring from Quetz, or to Asura instead of Quetz, you risk not being a part of an active Goon LS.

I'll monitor the thread in case there are any questions or there is any interest. If you make the transfer, contact me in game. My name's Profiterole.

I'll be transferring too. My hope is we'll get a full goon migration. It looks like most of us are fine with switching servers, only person I haven't cleared it with yet is Arkma.

I'm on Asura as Cardan. But if this is as it sounds, a non goon run LS taking refugees, I doubt they'd want to carry me as I just restarted literally a few days ago. If they wouldn't mind, however, I'd happily join and give them 50/50 odds of me becoming obsessed and playing a lot.

Given that they let me in and I'm a pretty new player, they'll probably let you in too. But at the very least, we do want to get as many goons as possible on the new shell SAGoons.

There is a goon run shell called SAGoons. It is on Asura, Jewbacca(Joobacca), Ganache(Proftierole), and Hackenbush are in it so far. Just the three of us, but there is plenty of room for more.

I'll join. I had planned on going it alone seeing how far I could get 'soloing' everything. But not doing that is better.

As I said above, I just started a few days ago as Cardan and just finished unlocking travel around the old world.

Both Ganache and Jewbacca were taken. Bummer. So we both had to change names.

And yeah, even if you aren't ready for endgame yet, or even pre-endgame, you should come and join SAGoons. The more of us there are, the more stuff we can get done, and the easier it is to get people up to snuff for harder content.
