So I'm hitting up some leves in Costa Del Sol when everyone starts screaming that I need to get out to Central Shroud ASAP.  I port out to see what all the fuss is about and after I follow the stream of people to the source of the commotion I'm greeted by this scene of chaos.



What's that?  You can't see because there's a massive explosion on the screen?  Fine...  let's try again.



Ummm, there were a lot of flashings and boomings.  Not an epileptic friendly occasion.



This is about the best shot I got of Odin himself.  I...  actually never got a good look at him between all the players and all the effects going off.

And of course after a good 15min of pewpewing our good Norse friend decided he'd had enough and wiped everyone out with his signature slash!  Much raging was had but it was a pretty fun event regardless.  Next time Odin, next time!!

Look who I found while wandering around La Noscea!



Sadly this imposter was not the real deal!  The Areya I know wouldn't have such trouble with a Lv8 Galago!  Hurry and join us on Sargatanas rey!!!

Just wanted to see if anyone needs the win for Atma of the Ultimate, I have a pop set I'm planning to use this weekend.

So I'm idly wondering to myself, in today's economy where most gear is r/e obtained in Abyssea or VW but income can be fairly lucrative if you do something like farm Dynamis currency daily, what really weighs in as "a lot" of gil.  To clarify, this isn't the purchase price for that high ticket item you may be eyeing on the AH, but the overall amount of gil one person might be carrying on their person for you to acknowledge them as friggin loaded!  I kinda wish there was room for more vote options but, alas, I can only pick 5.

So, what say you!  How hyper-inflated is the market?

Where are yoooouuuu?

omgaaaaaaah

All cookies have been discovered missing NATION WIDE!  Large volumes of confectionary goodies have been discovered being off loaded in FRANCE!  This means WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings would be Salvagers! 

So if this is going to work at all we need to get a good time for everyone sooo if everyone could list what days and times they'll be regularly available let's see what we end up with.  Current plans are to meet once a week with possibly more depending on what the group wants, but this may require getting some people captain.

As for me I'm available Mondays from 9PM, Wednesdays from 9PM, Thursdays from 7PM, Fridays from 9PM, Saturdays from about 5PM~8PM and Sundays from around 8PM, all times are Pacific.

Hey d00ds!  So I'm thinking about possibly trying to put together a Salvage group, you all are welcome to join if you like, I've asked in LS with little response in the past but the doors are always open!  I do have something of a small roster of people that have expressed interest to me however which brings me to my query!  Does anybody mind if we use a small corner of the website for organizational purposes?  I suppooooose I could drudge around and put together a new board for the purpose but I so laaaazy.  The people should be good!  I promise Aria vouches for all his peeps!  I'd like to know if this bothers anyone though, I don't want to just throw a bunch of random people at you guys.  So everything's out on the table here are the potential group members:

Aeriis, Ariamo, Dragonmstknight, Ikethegreat, Ketsuki, Leylana, Papillion, Riloth, Ryudei, Xita, and Zephera

I was also toying with the idea of giving them all pearls as well, maybe liven things up a little.  And I won't have to clog my inventory with one more pearl >_>;  Again I'm not sure if this will spark some kind of negative reaction and I'll address it live in LS as well since, well, only about 10% of the LS even visits the forums anyway...

But yeah, there you have it!  Who knows anyway, the whole thing might fall through as well.  Please post any feedback here or if you'd rather discuss it with my directly you know where to find me in game!  Thanksssss.

I too shall add random imagery to the front page, YUSSSS!


This is the title screen.

Still workin out what to do with the other half 

(If someone else wins you can use this as a reference for what to get me!  )

You, the people, must help me make a very important decision!

(Clicky the topic to vote!)

In this broken Wasteland beyond the realm of civilization, beyond the grasp of sanity, six warriors united as one to brave the frigid heights of the Uleguerand Range and to do battle with her sinister brood to claim their just rewards!  Hours of sweat, blood, and tears drenched the cold and uncaring earth of those blasted heights as they climbed not once, not twice, thrice?  oh no! but four painful treks from base to icy peak as the local demon populace repeatedly slaughtered the poor pilgrims on each successive climb.  Yet their BURNING PASSION and UNDYING RESOLVE would not yield until they claimed the icy crown as their own!  Kindred Demon and Tyrannotaur, Smolenkos and Molech, even Jormungand herself (omg Shen a DWAGON!), multiple dives to Chamneat Springs, and the final showdown with the ice wall atop that frozen spire were all surmounted by Lucky's finest!



And what treasures awaited those brave adventurers at the end of their journey?  ...The sands of time have already buried what may have come from those chilling coffers, I'm sure it was something shiny!



Tabby sheds a single tear.  "OMG I have work tomorrow ;_;"
Ennaor: "LOL, A Taru!"

On a totally unrelated note:

And finally!



OMG CHICABOS! *^_^*

Everyone say hi to Mihli! 


And I leave you all with a terrible truth!!

 

Help us all communicate by addressing this very important question!

Stumbled across this on another board I might happen to frequent!

QuoteWe would like to report the termination today of multiple accounts held by players involved in the usage of third-party tools or cheats, or engaged in RMT (Real Money Trading) activities.

In relation to the severity of the violation, over 2,500 accounts were temporarily suspended, while over 9,000 accounts were permanently banned.

Details of the violations are as follows:

- Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement.
Approx. 1,100 cases
- Usage of tools that circumvent game mechanics with respect to the timing of ability use, etc. in certain areas or at points where Notorious Monsters appear.
Approx. 6,400 cases
- RMT-related activity
Approx. 4,000 cases

The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of approximately 45 billion gil from circulation.

We would like to remind players that the use of third party programs adversely affect game balance. Along with affecting game balance, other risks can arise from use of third party programs that are not immediately obvious such as possibly introducing damaging viruses and compromising the security of private account details. Usage of third-party tools will not be tolerated within FINAL FANTASY XI and we will continue to severely penalize any players found to be in violation of the PlayOnline Member Agreement.

During this round of account terminations, we mainly focused on RMT operations that were active within Japan. However, rest assured that our continued investigations encompass all regions where RMT activity is occurring.

As we continue to ensure a fun and balanced environment for FINAL FANTASY XI, we hope that our players enjoy the game as it was intended and take care to avoid involvement in activities that violate the PlayOnline Member Agreement.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding

Apparently all the servers are reporting Sky RMTs vanishing almost completely.  Perhaps regular people can actually enjoy a Byakko here and there again 

Have YOU made your Lucky LS Forum post today?! 

Behold the truth!  Behind the scenes footage of dictator Ketsuki revealing who really runs Rucky Rinkshell!  Now accepting cookie tributes!

And!  If you wanna come you have to meet me at SFO!  Don't say I didn't offer!

OK I better stop before I exhaust my computer's supply of exclamation points!
