    UI updates and Graphics adjustments-

    I would like to start off by saying thanks for all the improvements so far and the continued work on updating the UI and graphics, even though the graphics update was really just adding to FFXI Config something you could do inside the registry already, lol.

    Anyway! I would like to suggest something for the next graphics update that could be worked on. Inside the config menu inside the game itself, under Misc. 2, there is an option called clipping plane. Turned all the way down, it looks like this:


    Turned all the way up it looks like this:


    I really think it would be a great improvement to the game if you could expand on the distance the clipping plane will render by about 10x the distance. The game is 10 years old now, and any half decent PC should easily be able to handle it if the game could render much more vast distances. And the option is there already to turn it up/down to meet each PC's individual capabilities anyway, so I don't think there should be much of a problem. Giving you something more along the lines of this would be awesome:



    *Disclaimer, I found these SS's randomly online and it gave me this idea, I did not take these or have anything to do with the construction of the images.

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.

    LOL!! You're not fooling anyone, you know. Especially when the character in the screen shot matches your icon.

    This would of totally been good investigativeness, but something like 30% of all characters are mithras, and 80% of mithras are that face.

    You'd also have been less obvious without the disclaimer.

    Can't we just ban 'em already for using third-party tools?

    Some one shouldn't have to rely on third party tools to increase a clipper plane. This is a simple fix.

    Also, "innocent until proven guilty". There's no name on the picture and therefore no proof.
