Okay so basically this. If you've already bought the game from the S-E store, you need to check your email for a receipt from them. Inside that e-mail there will be a link that will reveal the key codes for your purchase. Open that up. Log into your SEID account and add new services -> put in the game key. When you've done that successfully it'll give you a PoL ID and a generic PoL password. From there you can go to your Service Accounts and Options List and change the PlayOnline password if you wish. You also need to go there to create a new content ID so you can make a character to begin playing. You will also get 2 more keys for a stupid shirt and hat. They're very good for leveling pre level 30, so I suggest doing so. To use those codes, first you need to go into the game itself and create a character. Once you've done that, go back into the Service Accounts menu and click Add a service account. Enter stupid codes, and confirm the character to receive the shirt+hat. Once that's done, you need to log out and back into your dumb anime character and go to a specific moogle and claim your fancy new poo poo.

Even for FFXIV the mogstation is way too complicated and confusing, but the FFXI playonline system was really draconian even for its time

I'm about to lose my loving mind. So I bought the game again and added everything to my SquareEnix account, got the random code username for playonline, changed my password to something manageable, and it still says incorrect login/password.  Edit: I get a "SquareEnix account certification error" Koala Cola fucked around with this message at 23:09 on May 21, 2019 |

If you enter your password incorrectly so many times, there's a cooldown period involved. Make sure you have proper ports open and if all that fails, yeah call S-E.

If you get to the bee pollen quest just ping me on the discord (same name as on here) and when I am home from work I'll throw you pollen + 500k. I can also help with the NM at RoV 1-9 if I am around. I'm not turbo geared but I have L99 and 119 ilvl gear which means my trusts will just dump on anything low level for you.

Iirc crap for ffix was integrated into playonline, mostly the strategy guide was useless as gently caress and kept telling you to go there. I don't remember if ffx had the same issue.

I don't remember if ffx had the same issue. This was mentioned fairly recently in the FF thread. BradyGames wanted to publish an actual useful guide, but they were strong-armed by Squaresoft into stripping it down to encourage the use of PlayOnline. If they hadn't, Squaresoft would have just found another publisher. From what I recall, FFX's guide didn't have that problem, but playonline.com is shown on the FFX title screen.

Dirge of Cerberus multiplayer, Fantasy Earth Zero, Front Mission Online and the JP release of EQ2 all ran on the service, though I'm not actually sure if they were in the POL Viewer or just used the account backend. Whichever would be more terrible, I'd assume.

I remember Front Mission Online running through it. Tetramaster as well for the 5 people who played that. Odds are slim SE will ever ditch POL for XI if they haven't by now. Given the dev time required and how small their team is it just doesn't make sense to put effort into it. It's clunky as hell, but it works. The one change they really should consider is removing a few clicks to login though, just skip right to the play button.

Bought the game on steam for like $9 just to try it out and boy the account setup procedure may actually be the worst I've ever seen. Like PSO2 was easier in Japanese gently caress. Looking forward to seeing what 11 was about.

I recently contracted brain worms so I decided to download this terrible MMO I've never played before. I just want to kill generic fantasy monsters with other people, that's all. Anyone still playing this relic? Would a private server be better for actually grouping up for lower levels, or worse? Why do I do this to myself?

Anyone still playing this relic? Would a private server be better for actually grouping up for lower levels, or worse? Why do I do this to myself? The game has changed so much in the past 10 years or so and no longer has the leveling slog of endless waiting for groups (since you can just level to 99 fairly quickly with your NPC AI buddies). Because of that, all of the actually-grouping-with-other-people content is all at 99 when the endgame starts. On top of that there's a ton of QoL additions for getting around like a home-point teleport network and better mount system. So weirdly enough the game is actually kind of fun now since there's a ton of content to experience without having to worry about sacrificing your waking life to be able to level enough to actually do said content. But if you really want the "classic" experience of grouping while leveling you'll probably have to find a private server at this point. At any rate we have a couple people playing on Asura so feel free to hop on the discord a few posts up and give it a shot.  ALSO, FRIENDLY THREAD REMINDER The Spring Alter Ego Extravaganza ends today so make sure you pick up any Trusts you want from it. The current login point campaign is ending soon (last points are accrued on June 1st and last day to spend them is June 9th) so if you don't have Shantotto II you'll probably want to pick her up before then, as she's super useful and it will be awhile before she comes back. You may want to pick up as many of the 100-point Trusts as you can as well.

Anyone still playing this relic? Would a private server be better for actually grouping up for lower levels, or worse? Why do I do this to myself? I came back to FFXI a few weeks ago and I see a lot of new people and returners showing up on the Asura server, but almost no one groups at lower levels. So if you want to group you need to join a private server where they don't have trusts turned on.

PS: Do not join a private server. They are all hosed and run by terrible people, especially the 2 popular ones, and the insane grind is not worth it. Casually level to 99 (which is super fast nowadays, even as a newbie) and group at 99. You'll have the most fun that way with a huge mix of solo and group content readily available.

Wow this game is hella fun. It's scratching the itch I had that TLP EQ servers didnt give me. Have three jobs to 15ish and almost have subjobs unlocked. It's nice going into a game knowing almost nothing, especially a game that barely holds your hand.

RoV missions intertwine with all the other missions in the game and grant excellent permanent bonuses, primarily EXP gains, so those should be completed ASAP. Also this: keep it down up there! posted:PS: Do not join a private server. They are all hosed and run by terrible people, especially the 2 popular ones, and the insane grind is not worth it.

Yeah, this seems to be the consensus after doing a little more research. From what people have said, the oldschool style grouping still exists, just for harder end game content which is cool with me and really what I'm looking for. Anyway, went ahead and made a new character on Asura. I don't know what it is about this game in particular, but the graphics, the music, and the world all just do it for me. Also, the PlayOnline update music by itself is a better experience than 90% of other MMOs I've played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmdr-xVZmHk

I'm a shallow idiot but square's focus on nailing presentation and style killed my chances of ever playing a non 11/14 MMO because all the other ones are ugly and make bad noises. Even the base content, low texture res aside, is still pretty good looking in 2019 which is nuts for an MMO this old

Its got amazing art direction yeah. The technical level of the engine is about on par with FFX, PS2-era. But they definitely used everything they learned from FFX, the models just look really good for how low-poly they are. And the textures look real clean and nice. I thought for years and years that FFXI still looked better than modern WoW, although I think with the last engine update they finally got about on par. FFXIV blows WoW out of the water, of course.
