Are you aware of the new account system at SE, mate ? Even peoplw with an old PlayOnline/FFXI account have to open one of the new Square Enix Accounts (you can then link your old PlayOnline/FFXI account to it).

can be a slow download, i found it's best to use a bit torrent client and download using the torrent file and not the ffxvi downloader

 

[Cullhaven]

Aww cheers! Got it down in 30 secs and installing it now

 

[Corwin]

Installed, couldn't see that world so chose Rabenastre, on as Corwynne Explosivo

 

[QT]

On Trabia as 'Koltan Hawkslayer'

and Mysidia as 'Astric Daemon'

 

[Corwin]

and Mysidia was there this afternoon so deleted and restarted there, Corwynne Explosivo

So i've been playing a bit this weekend, think i'm a Rank 4 Gladiator and physical level 7, but i seem to have run out of quests and Guildleve's to do, the only ones i have left are the fishing/botany tutorial ones, but i can't figure out where to buy the equipment.

I've tried getting a mission from the gladiator guild but they say i'm not high enough, and i can't seem to get any leve's for the first camp, got 4 and did them, but can't get any more.

 

[QT]

I've done about about the same too m8

I think those leves are like dailys but are on a 48 hr timer, guess it's grind till then ?!?

and then at rank 10 move onto the next camp

so, how is it? i cba downloading it for a couple of weeks of play, so you folks need to tell me if its any good

 

[Corwin]

Graphics are stunning, and seems more fun than the first few levels i tried in 11, got bored of that one and canned it

Hmm a new MMO, i cant help feeling the need to start asking what server / faction etc etc so we can get a consensus before next week when we can ask the question all over again
