What to do while Final Fantasy XI is down.

[QUOTE=Crawlerbasher;17136]I used 3D Studio Max 2010 (Rendering and such)
FFXI Modelviewer (Viewing the modules and ripping)
Graphics Converter Ver3 (Creating alpha maps from the rip)
Metaseq (Editing to module)
Photoshop CS3 (for the name)

brings back memories of never ceasing signature requests.

I think they'll find a way to prevent it from happening on FFXIV... only.

I bought Rift.

Yesterday, because I foresaw the servers shutting down. I wanted the game to be installed by the time they did.

Downloading: 8.3 kb/s. Time remaining: 136 hours.

This is after 30 hours.

When I check my connection speed it's supposed to be 4.36mb/s. So something is wrong with Trion. Sad face.

Anyway, in the meantime I'm reading about Japan and making myself depressed.

I'm hoping the death count stays at what is now, and doesn't raise up anymore, but from the reports I'm reading.... It's not looking good at all. And I'm not saying those that did die isn't a loss, it's a ****ing **** ton of people dead and it's a horrible, horrible tragedy. And it makes me teary eyed to read news stories about it. I just really hope it doesn't get worse.

I know I plan to spend more time on these forums and ffxiah.com, doing housework and of course gaming. Made a New Year's Gaming Resolution to play my backlog (15 games, thanks FFXI...) and I'm still working on Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, with Dragon Age II coming sometime this week from Amazon (more distraction from the backlog!). Spring break is this week as well which means no work (being a substitute teacher is interesting sometimes) so lots of free time and no FFXI. Really though, at least I got my Redemption to level 85 before they shut the servers down.

To prevent what? Giant earthquakes? This is the first time this has happened in 7 and a half years, and it happened due to extraordinary circumstances. It doesn't seem like it would be cost effective to set up and run redundant servers to prevent a week or two of total downtime once every 7 and a half years.

This is the HD version of the 3D art work I've done.

Also please keep it on topic.
If you want to bitch about ffxi server been closed down then do it on another post where ppl are already bitching about it.
This is not a post for bitching about ffxi server been closed.

Its about what you doing while its down.

You'll have lots of time to finish ff13, this server shutdown will last much longer than a week.

OMG that 3D looks so damn hawt!!! I've been wanting to get a new signature or do something to it. I had a friend of mine do the original signature back when ToAU expansion came out and I just knew I was going to level BLU to 75. So he made it for me after SE finally got the AF's for BLU. I'm in the Army and I'm kinda patriotic...hence, Red White and Blue....mages! lol

I'm going to use the new signature if you don't mind at all. You did an awesome job ^^ Thank you very much!

Sure I relay liked you signature and wanted to do it in 3D so its yours.
And if you check the HD version of the art work you can also see it in more detail.

Thanks again Crawlerbasher. The HD version is just as awesome. I wish i knew how to do all this signature stuff myself.
