First Thing You're Going To Do When We're Back Up?

[MiriOhki]

Just out of idle curiosity, what is the first thing you'll do once you get back on? Myself, it'll be kill the Great Axe Trial WSNM. Broke my Axe of Trials about an hour before the downage announcement got made. Well, either that, or spend the merits I got, then kill said GA WSNM. Most of what I've been doing for the last week and a half before the game dropped is breaking Nyzul weapons, and skilling up/breaking Trial weaponry. (Still need to do Polearm and skill up for Scythe, Club and Great Sword).

[Elysianne]

log in, zone into rolanmart, and go back to bed seeing as it will only be 4am :P

[Furrygamer]

Try to finish getting red mage to 40, then switch to scholar for some badassry. Maybe also fish some.

[viion]

regretting i didn't park myself on a NM. So probably will run to closest one.

[Puddings]

Level dragoon because it does the most damage

[Zyeriis]

1) Update Playonline
2) Start FFXI Update
3) Sleep
4) Reactivate Account
5) Buy the Abyssea add-on I don't have
6) Log in
7) Figure out what the hell is going on around me

[Nacht]

Rub one out

[Yashii]

Finish leveling my DNC to 49 And go Solo zomfg everything. (read Rank Missions and Sky access. lol)

[Valefor4life]

Make me a cheese sandwich.

[Auredant]

[Tsukino_Kaji]

dump my wilted plants :(Sadly, I too will be doing the same.

[Atomic646]

log in, zone into rolanmart, and go back to bed seeing as it will only be 4am :P

Oh, you still have rolenmart lol

But.....

I'll be going after the T2 VNM in la thiene trying for a T3 pop and depending on the result, popping the T3 or killing Ovni

[Miera]

Rub one out
lolwat....

[Nacht]

lolwat....

Admit it. You wish you thought of it first.

[Gdsmsonn]

I will most likely be pting it up!

My wife will be working on getting her thf emote item and then lvling up drg and thf

[Michae]

Go check on my poor Chocobo, which has probally run away :(

[Cyx]

Be happy that I won't have to read another one of these "what's the first thing you'll do" threads. Come on people, there are probably 20 of these threads on this forums alone. I think we have all had enough.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Apparently all of us have not.

First thing? Count my new pile of traverser stones.

[Cyx]

Haha. How many times have you replied to a "what's the first thing" threads Tsukino?

[Gdsmsonn]

This is the first one I seen and replied to it. lol don't get why people who "dislike" threads even come in to post...it just makes their point so less...umm what's the word?

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Haha. How many times have you replied to a "what's the first thing" threads Tsukino?No idea. ^^

[Cyx]

point so less...umm what's the word?

I like what you did there. However you can say the same for the person making the thread. Instead of using the all powerful "search" key they decided to mindlessly post a thread that has already been made 40times over. I like to pass the time by pointing out these people as other pass the time by replying to everything for no reason.

P.S. To all you forum first timers. Search is your friend~

[Cyx]

No idea. ^^

Hahahah, I'm wondering how many times it has been different :D. If you are like me, I can't make up my mind about anything so it would always be different for me lol.

[Nidhogg]

Dress my Mithra on DNC and AFK in town.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Dress my Mithra on DNC and AFK in town.That remonds me, I still haven't done any DNC AF. >.<

[Reyhan]

I'll give 5M gil to the first one i'll see in subligar, cause he deserve the glory

Sigh, if some one digs up an older thread and bumps it, then they get flamed for zombifying a thread, then make a new thread, and get flamed for making a thread about a topic that has already been discussed, there's a mistake being made somewhere. I am not claiming that is what happened here or that you personally would have complained about some one reviving a dead thread but, both scenarios happen. Why is the op truly so wrong for simply making another thread about a topic that has died in another thread?

I hope you are kidding. You have 390 posts. I'm sure you have seen the 400 threads that are exactly the same. I'm doing this because I'm sick of people being lazy. Think of it as my way of teaching people how to properly use a forum. Also, a thread is not necro until a month. This forums is mainly so populated because ffxi is down. I show "hard love" to people that show up day 1 and act like they have never been on a forum before. Instead of not caring, how about we actually think of the Devs and all the threads they will have to delete because people are to lazy to type something in the search field.

Plus, I'm bored and enjoy letting people know they have wasted .01 seconds of my life.

[Kits]

Once i log back on I'll be in the nw corner of Batilla Downs trying to find the entrance to Xaxier or some weird ass place like that for my aby quest

[Xoh]

Sadly, work on my BLM testimony or WHM testimony. D:

[Enxane]

hopefully lb2 then get 1 exp to lvl up

[Raka]

What I'm going to do when service is restored, huh? ...Well~

1. Log into PlayOnline.

2. Log into FINAL FANTASY XI.

3. Log into my Character.

4. Walk from wherever I logged out of FINAL FANTASY XI from to my Mog House.

5. Enter my Mog House.

6. Slap my Moogle because he is a moocher.

7. Exit my Mog House.

8. Sit in town for roughly 30 minutes.

9. Attempt to find something to do.

10. Go to sleep since I know I probably will not find anything to do at 4:30am in the morning anyways.

11. Wake up about 5 hours later.

12. Sit in town for 30 minutes again.

13. Attempt to find something to do again.

14. I entertain myself then my finding another Mithra whome isn't a male in disguise by showing them my Bronze Subligar I had from the day I started playing FINAL FANTASY XI.

15. Then I probably will have to log out for work.

So....that's just a rough estimate of my plans when Service is restored. :-D
Hope you guys enjoyed it and got an idea of what to do when you get on too!

[Cyx]

[Raka]

I now decided on what I'll do now for sure when FINAL FANTASY XI is back up and running!

I will build a Time Machine and return... Back to the Future!
I will also need a sidekick...volunteers? o.oy

[Urteil]

B-b-b-b-barrista.

[Takero]

[cnedra]

[Byrth]

Jailer of Temperance from server-up until a torque drops! Then maybe I'll go try to do Nyzul Isle 60 runs?

[RaenRyong]

Finish Almace.

HANDS OFF MY GUKUMATZ

[cnedra]

[RaenRyong]

I WILL INTIMIDATE IT WITH CAPITAL LETTERS

[Juri_Licious]

Be happy that my addiction can continue once again.

[Kit]

[Alhanelem]

log in, zone into rolanmart, and go back to bed seeing as it will only be 4am :P
You should start a trend and start bazaaring in jeuno.

The tax was removed, there's no reason for "Rolanmart" to exist anymore. Why make people go outside?

On Shiva, Rolanmart died the very day the tax was removed. Now, everyone bazaars in Upper Jeuno instead.

[Vivik]

IT IS NOW

I WILL INTIMIDATE IT WITH CAPITAL LETTERS

Send it a stern letter!

[NightDagger]

I plan on standing in PJ shouting for a leech pt. I will not open chests but will pay 30k/hr.

On a more serious note, I am going to work on finishing my trial weapon. Stupid frog better spawn faster then 6 hours this time. God I hate him ; ;

Plenty of people bazaar in Jeuno and Rolanmart. I am kinda surprised that our rolanmart still exists. The music must be pretty nice in Rolanberry Fields I suppose.

I've already made myself a promise first thing I'm goign to do when i get back on is finish my current magican trial, which iv'e been on - i think - forever :)

[Chiibi]

Monk. That is my plan (with multiple pitstops for the various mnk specific quests)

[Limecat]

Whatever I need to do that's closest to wherever I logged out at. I've been working on fishing after years of not really touching it(yay dual Pelican rings making it non-aneurysm-inducing to level). If I'm in Nashmau, I'll probably start pulling up some fish. If I'm in Jeuno, I'll do the fishing MMM. Actually, I may have logged in Windy at the fishing guild, one of the last things I was doing before logging out was turning in the fish for Adept rank. That'd mean checking the GP fish and seeing if I have any on my cooking mat mule.

After that I don't know. I've got a lot on my to-do list.

Lee will help you -_-

[Miera]

I'm going to level up RNG, it was level 9 when I left from the shutdown. Any RNGs who can give advice send me a message on FFXIAH.com, I'd love to hear some thoughts on it.

Miera from Leviathan. ;)

[Thizzerio]

The first thing im going to do when i log in is count my stones, the second thing im going to do is check my linkshell, the third thing i am going to do is start healing.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

First Thing You're Going To Do When We're Back Up?Forgot the forums exist.

[NightDagger]

[Azaril]

[Logical]

Prolly count my stones.

Might yell out loud a few times with excitment.

[Chronofantasy]

Join in with shout wars with everyone in port jeuno about missing FFXI and being happy that the game is back while putting a few things up on AH. Then continue with the last quest I needed for Altepa for that zone's completion towards atma of the savior. Then work on maxing fame in Grauberg and Uleguerand. Shout for joy that I have 30+ stones so that I can spend the rest of those zones completing the last bit of quests I need and the rest of the 25 atmas I need and 6 abyssites.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

they go online at 4 est am? if so.. blah... ill be gettin up for work at that time ; ;. well atleast i only work 6 to 11:30 friday D: ill miss all the NM's -_-;It's 4am PST.

[Eranak]

Finish Almace.

HANDS OFF MY GUKUMATZ

WTH dude... didn't i just help you finish briarius lol... well i might help you with sobeks .... maybe lol.... depends on what my LS is doing

[Cuthert]

I'm gonna unlock all the advanced jobs, as I only have DNC unlocked... I had just started my character a month ago, and was about to finish Ninja Flag Quest, about 5 feet from Ensetsu when server went down. Oh, probably try to kill VE for the hairpin since I'm sure he hasn't been touched in a week and a half.

[Ryoushin]

Level blm on my tarutaru with the wifey, get sub job quest completed. Then level whm with blm sub, run that out til 31ish go unlock smn. If not doing that leveling my hume thf. I have a whole list of "need to dos" but its really the wifes decision. Who am I to complain. She got me a taru stuffy. I wuvy my besty wifey. /cheer

[Anela]

4am PST, so you won't miss quite as much :/

*oops, someone already sadi that*

[KorPoni]

I will most likely be pting it up!

My wife will be working on getting her thf emote item and then lvling up drg and thf

I'll finish getting all my jobs to 20, and probably bugging gds for duos until he /blists me just to do his own thing.

[Eindzhel]

Go blow stuff up on BLU since i had just finished getting it fully merited and skilled up before the servers went down.

[Ranadir]

Finish the Kila trial i was 2 mobs away from finishing when the server went down. ; ;

[RaenRyong]

WTH dude... didn't i just help you finish briarius lol... well i might help you with sobeks .... maybe lol.... depends on what my LS is doing

Pretty much. No rest for the wicked! Sobek will be a joke compared to Briareus; pre-NMs are easier and much closer together and it's a lot easier to get help since obviously AF3 mats etc.

[Jalserba_Darkwood]

pokeing some unexspecting mob with my daggers but in a good way so the beastmen dont sew me for sexual herasment again.

[Boldheart]

Only got like 10 min of Blade: HIgh, So i think ill go kill anything. "Guku"

Prolly count my stones.

Might yell out loud a few times with excitment.

Wow that must of made u distressed a little bit. All that work for Blade: Hi and only had it for 10 minutes b4 shutdown lol.

[Boldheart]

It's 4am PST.

That would be 7am est. Always add 3 hours later to the PST time for EST. I figured this out after all the updates lol.

[Wibbly]

; ;

Use the bathroom after nearly two weeks of being locked out of my mog house...

[Kailea_Nagisa]

I plan on finishing the great task of remembering what I was doing when I quit a year ago ;p

my first job to get to 49 is NIN, so I will work on that, then my other subs, so I can level DRG/DNC/PUP to 90 (and then 99 later)

[Juri_Licious]

Gonna have a party on FFXI, and I don't mean a leveling party!

WE GONNA PARTAAAAAAY BABY!

[Zakuto]

I will probably just go back to leveling DNC solo... I'm so surprised that its so self-sufficient. Gah, Its nearly 30 and I haven't done that with any other job I have leveled up to this point in playing. After that, getting my WAR to level 54 so I can work on getting my next AF piece so I can get the "Shinimusha Hara-Ate" for my SAM...

So basically what I was planning to do before the servers shutdown.

[Cenz]

i got stuck in abyssea b/c i passed out that night... so just chill till i can get back to work on my masamune! no work friday ... and i miss my verathagna ; ; .... am excited at this point to just be able to log in whether i choose to play or not ;p

[Dazusu]

Just out of idle curiosity, what is the first thing you'll do once you get back on? .

Cancel my content ID

[Karumac]

Six Lamprey Lords.
Eight Chesma.
50 Fistule Discharge.
50 Bukhis Wings.
75 Alfard's Fangs.

[Komori]

Check and see which friends are online - see what they want to do. If they don't want to do anything, I'm gonna start leveling BST, PLD or BRD. Or solo some NMs on my DNC or BLU for seals.

[Thizzerio]

Just out of idle curiosity, what is the first thing you'll do once you get back on?

Claim fafnir and hold it till ls gets on,

[Soulfire]

I'm going to figure out all the changes lol. Like how to get to abbyssea and so what job levels I have it's been a year only thing I really remember is my dancer is 65. Check the AH as well to see if I was selling something when I last quit.

[Izzybella]

Six Lamprey Lords.
Eight Chesma.
50 Fistule Discharge.
50 Bukhis Wings.
75 Alfard's Fangs.

and a partridge in a pear tree...

[Dallas]

My first objective:

/l (Helldive)o!

[Sagian]

Campaign!

Yes, there are still a few addicts out here.

[Starcade]

That does raise an interesting question as to the state of Campaign and Conquest. Does this mean that things are as they were before the "maintenance", or do we have, basically, a null state?

And Conquest could be very interesting, with only really an effective 48 hour Conquest period. Could be some very interesting results come the next Conquest tally.

[Skillgannon]

UMMMM go solo ISNM again on BST and repost items in AH. then NM hunt ^^

[chrism]

Do a backflip while naked.

[Bloomingodsname]

I'll finish getting all my jobs to 20, and probably bugging gds for duos until he /blists me just to do his own thing.

and I'll be crafting most likely...and ignoring the constant bugging for duo into the LS...and then when I get the random /tell from someone (gds) to PT I'll be like "can't you see I'm crafting!" ^-^

[Vadreucant]

hope there isnt a forever long download with it

[Alderin]

Didn't think there was an update this time round, as it has been post-poned til mid-May. Unless your talking about an update after not playing for 2 years? :P

[Lilbitz]

I'm gonna see if Simurgh is up and if so hope for trotter boots drop, yeah i know, g/l on that. ><;; lol

[wish12oz]

First thing I will do is make shout JP faces in port Jeuno!
(`ヘ´)
Then find new mithras and make them be my friend.

[Cem]

I am going to kill Fafnir for the 300th something time without getting that stupid sword.... Then I will get to leveling BST.

[Purpleeyes]

Fish and cook.

[Gdsmsonn]

and I'll be crafting most likely...and ignoring the constant bugging for duo into the LS...and then when I get the random /tell from someone (gds) to PT I'll be like "can't you see I'm crafting!" ^-^

Even though I pt with korponi mainly...

[Saefinn]

1) Sit in the library, knowing I should be writing
2) Gradually feel the addiction take over
3) Start up FFXI
4) Either: SCH G5 or Level up BLM
5) Feel guilty that I've been counter-productive

[Richard]

Restock the Auction house.

[Raka]

Finish my Almace(85): Sobek's skin[15/50]

[Saefinn]

Hmm it didn't take long for me to open Final Fantasy XI in the library :D, however, like MSN, my library has blocked it. :( Well, I suppose I ought to do what I'm supposed to be doing.

[Kingofgeeks]

oh no one lie, the first thing everyone's gonna do when they log on is afk in jeuno :-P

[Miiyo]

and I'll be crafting most likely...and ignoring the constant bugging for duo into the LS...and then when I get the random /tell from someone (gds) to PT I'll be like "can't you see I'm crafting!" ^-^


Bloomingggggg <3

[Miiyo]

Close to my club's path. I cry for you ; ;
