Returnee Support Campaign Phase Two

[Sirmarki]

One of the struggles I deal with coming back to this game, on rare occasions, is being useful to certain events or not being able to play a job I enjoy due to lack of gear.

If it's a rare occasion then statistically it should be an issue.

I'm note sure how I can say this without stating the obvious, and therefore sounding rude, but..... How about you get some gear then?

Shouldn't*

I'm guessing with the lack of edit function, this thread (like most other GM threads) wasn't designed to be commented on.

If it takes you 10 hours to download and update you need better internet/computer period

Slow updates is an extremely common issue with FFXI. Please remove your head from the hole it's in.

How long did it take for you?

Can we please get a linen coin purse campaign? Maybe not directly 2 drops but a nice increase on a second drop? Really discouraging when you get all the way at the end of Salavage II and get a low ball lowend 50 pcs of alexandrite. Thanks.

Slow doesn't equal 10 hours. Yes it will be slow no matter what. But you aren't doing yourself any favors by making it even slower.

Between reformats and new computers over the last 4-5 years I've done 4 completely fresh downloads of the game into install and updates and none including across multiple computers including laptops have taken a over 5 hours start to finish. This has been with both terrible Comcast and way outdated modems which hurt and even once on slow as heck AT&T dsl ewww.
