I decided to have some fun and level a mule. While trying to gain Bastok fame 3, I became extremely frustrated getting stuck at various and sundry NPC's to even obtain fame quests. I chose not to take the easy route and trade Millioncorn, Cabbages and Moss to Melyon in Selbina.

Date & Time: Sunday June 19, all day. Monday June 20 beginning at 9:00 am MDT
Frequency: Almost always 8/10 is a good measure of frequency
Character Name: Marshallin
Race: Mithra (most definitely female :))
World: Sylph
Main Job: THF level 18
Support Job: MNK
Area and Coordinates: All Bastok Zones
Party or Solo: Solo
NPC Name: Flaco (Fame NPC) and all NPC's associated with quests. Gwilli, Detzo, Hungry Wolf, etc, ad infinitum
Monster Name: None
Steps: Attempting to gain Fame 3 for MH upgrade quest beginning Sunday June 19. 6 times throughout the day I became stuck at NPC quest givers or at Flaco (Fame NPC Port Bastok) forcing me to log out, re-log and try again. Frequently had to wait up to 3 minutes to even get the dialogue, but in most cases, nothing happened. Just stuck. As soon as I logged in this morning, back to doing quests and the first NPC I went to, Wahid (Bastok Markets) resulted in stuck again, log off, re-log, try again. Back to Flaco, stuck, 3 minute wait for the dialogue.
With respect, enough of these incidents have been reported to warrant some kind of informative feedback other than the standard response. Everyone is aware of PS2 memory problems. It has been mentioned by SE in the past, but nothing seems to be happening to alleviate the issue. Reading the forums and seeing all the Flame posts about PS2 users holding back FFXI development I think it is time for SE to consider making a definitive statement about plans for continuing/discontinuing PS2 support.
Thank you.
Same platform 11:00am MDT stuck AGAIN at Flaco (Fame NPC, Port Bastok) only 5 people in zone.
