What's making me laugh the hardest is actually their completely ridiculous prices for ERP.

I have absolutely no conception of that entire scene, but those are really considered unreasonable prices? Doesn't RMT usually hang around 1mil gil to 1 usd?

Yeah. I don't now what they're talking about. I have a friend who runs a venue on Ultros that is 250k per 15min - so 1m an hour.

But that's all chump change. People make the big money in the auctions - assuming it's a busy night.

I went to the FC's house and they had a private room who's aesthetic was best described as "Silent Hill BDSM". Tragically, I didn't take photos before the house was locked.

So speaking of mi'qote trafficking, what's the news about the data center visiting? I'm not surprised it was a poo poo show, but is it a case of "we're going to gradually turn it back on" or is it hosed up hardcore?

Apparently 15,000 people per minute for some reason were trying this out at 3 in the morning. They said they were “gradually open this feature as we monitor the situation.”

Is it still turned off then or are the spigots open, just very small?

And yeah they should know drat well they're going to get fifteen thousand weirdos trying to slam-jam literally anything that happens when they come up, at this point

As far as I know they are closed, especially given that folks around the world would probably like to travel to Balmung to dunk on this particular FC.

Why are these people paying for sex with prostitutes? They should just hook up with the other people who are paying for sex and cut out the middle man.
