Remember how we'd line up at walls around town criers and puke through them at the throngs who'd gathered for each event and drunken kung fu riots would break out?

The far east aesthetics in the Final Fantasy 14 expansion are making me miss being able to triple jump and run up walls.

I still don't understand why or how the Subway card thing worked, but I'm glad it did.

Here is what i understood and did : Snail (a shady chinese company) used Xsolla (a shady russian company) as transaction broker. Do you really want to have two shady as gently caress company from coutries rife with credit card fraud access to your CC number and CCD ? If yes i have prime Florida estate and a bridge to sell you. In the early days of beta it was so bad that some banks immediately stopped any transaction to China/Russia on their cards untill they called the card owner to clear it as a precaution agaist fraud. What you did was get a Subway gift card with cash or your debit card (at least Subway only dick around with your food, not with your transaction info, so far) and then give that number to Snail/Xsolla. You would still lose a few $ due to having to convert real money in Snail funbucks but that was the cost of keeping your CC details safe. Also they usually had some kind of promotion running, so you would end up with a new cash shop style for your toon and a 6'' sandwich to eat during your 20 turn group practice for the same price.

I think the real question is if Snail managed to turn the Subway cards back into real money somehow, or if all Snail employees just ate at Subway exclusively.

If I had to guess its probably a money laundering scheme, where they exchange giftcards to people and the people give them 60% of the cash value.

Group practice was truly the best thing in any MMO. Aside from kidnapping offline players or maybe puking on everyone in Luoyang.

Heartcatch posted:Group practice was truly the best thing in any MMO. It was a wonderfull idea (tie a social event to character progression and game system) that would have worked perfectly if the servers had the population necessary to support it. . Sadly, the mechanics (need every participant to perform on cue, no drop in, huge penality for drop out, no incentives to help others by doing extra rounds, loving F2P players over by forcing them to do 30 perfect rounds instead of 20) made the whole thing an exercise in frustration 70% of the time.

Kylra posted:Just get 9 more accounts and do it by yourself wherever you wanna with no waiting imo There was a 2 (unhacked) client limit for each box. With a dual CPU mainboard and plenty of ram you could probably run 6 clients using VMs on a single box, but 5k$ of hardware for a chinagame sound a tad excessive. The game was kinda designed for you to have 2 toons active at the same time, one doing selling/crafting and the other all the fun stuff.

And my $1200 computer did just fine with it too. Occasionally someone would walk by my TPs in the middle of nowhere and go WTF before walking off or murdering everyone.

Also the fun memories of the repeated failed ganks by the Vietnamese clans out for our blood will live on forever. They jumped me once while I was fishing and even with a Royal Guard they couldn't stop me from water walking away.

I did kidnapping runs with them and got basically the equivalent of something like $20/hr in ding at chinaspam seller rates. More if you only counted active time. I could do maybe 5 clients for script stealing as well (though they would get murdered about 1/3 of the time by ambushes because I just autowalked them out). Computer stats at the time was I think i7 920, 16gb ram and a gtx 670. Kylra fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Jul 30, 2017 |

Hmm. My i5 with 12GB and a 660 could not manage that. But i should have used snadbox instead of VirtualBox. Yeah, early kidnaping runs when the original bonus for repeated delivery was still in place was so good. Not getting what you wanted in steal script was fine since you could always buy it later. Ahh, to chinagame again someday...

Third World Reggin posted:people itt being like It did not start out like that. In the begining there was plenty of people. You could get a TP easily after script steal or missing that a double TP at reset. I usually only had my main and a secondary account to hold a selling spot but after a few month less and less people showed up for TP at regular intervals. Then the factions got released and suddenly everyone had some kind of events at all hours and school population dropped hard, making TP even harder to set up. After screaming "Tp Chengdu waterfall 8/10 " for 40 minutes on every channels and having to reset twice because of AFKers you begin to look out for alternatives.
