I added it in <3 Thanks Lionx

Yay a huggle *gives one back* ^^ Its np at all, these videos are uber helpful(and funny) if not a lil nostalgic for anyone starting out.

I am reading your first post, as for getting FFXI, most do it by mail order or by EB Games, another good place would be SE's own site itself: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/intro/shop.html

For system looking: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/env...tml?pageID=win I honestly dont know if Benchmark is even accurate anymore.

Anytime! <3 I still had RedLotus on Dawnstar when I had a character on your server >_> I recently deleted her because starting over from scratch almost threw me into a depression.

Hey, I just got this game, and I have Vista. I'm not done installing it quite yet, but it was AWFUL!

You have to download a patch and stuffs, and I hear there's still some bugs, but I think you should add this:
Clicky

You need it to run the game on Windows Vista.

...HEY! At least Vista looks pretty cool.

But it costs money to play

*gets stabbed in the eye and runs around screaming and bleeding*

[xXsarahXx]

How much is this a month in good old pounds sterling? thiking about getting it but not too sure if it worth the money

[eternalshiva]

Q: Does it cost money after you buy the Game?
A: Yes. $12.95 a month + $1.00 per character. In other words, it's going to cost you a buck a month for EACH character you make. SO if you have 5 characters, it's going to cost you 12.95 + 5 bucks For our European players, I know in the UK it's about 8 pounds.

Did you read this F.A.Q at all? ;o

I think one good thing to put in here (only because I spent a million years searching for it today) is:

"I used to play FFXI but I left for a while, uninstalled it, and no longer have my registration codes, do I have to buy another copy?"

If you've opened up an account then the registration information has been saved into your PlayOnline account (which you hopefully remember), so all you'll have to do is reinstall and play.

If you didn't open up an account for an expansion (in which I only installed Rise of Zilart and not the other two) that means that you didn't use your registration, so it's obviously not saved to your PlayOnline account. You can BUY the registration codes from PlayOnline's Official FFXI website found here:

FINAL FANTASY XI Official Web Site

The prices are:
Final Fantasy XI: Rise of the Zilart Registration Code: $ 9.99
- Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia Registration Code: $ 9.99
- Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan Registration Code: $ 14.99


As for reg codes for JUST FFXI yeah, you gotta buy a new thing. But seriously, if you bought FFXI and didn't even bother installing it and waited so long you lost everything BUT the disc, you should prolly buy a new one and take better care of it and take it as a lesson learned.
