NA Housing Demolition?

I think it was also in response to the torrential flooding from hurricanes in the Southeastern US--which *is* still rebuilding. They've made some good progress, but still very much underway.

That was the original pause last fall. It expired in January, and then less than 24 hours later they turned it right back on again because parts of LA burned to the ground.

Holy crow i have not seen this name in years. Are you the "original" catwho that proved ffxi would run on a netbook like 15 years back?

heh, fond memories.

Haha yep, that's me! My main is now Katarh Mest on Lamia, although I rolled a Lalafell on XIV's Seraph server named Cat Who for old time's sake.

For that netbook, I worked around the internal storage constraints by installing FFXI to an SSD card, so FFXI itself became like a video game cartridge. Worked like a charm.

Eventually I got a better laptop, and that little netbook developed an allergy to windows, so I installed Linux on it and gave it to a friend's elementary school age kid to use for typing up homework. In Small World Universe, that same kid ended up becoming one of my husband's college students last year....

(These days I run FFXIV on a spiffy little HP Omen when I need to go portable.)

Yep, I remember! Gosh, is that old Alla forum even still around? I left it right around the rebranding to "Zam" and when the mods started whining that folks were rating down that one guy who always had something hateful to say. And I mean he ALWAYS had something hateful to say.

Wild about that kiddo - but it goes to show how small acts of kindness early in someone's life can sometimes set them on a path to success. Hopefully the kid will graduate and be set for a great job.

I'm looking for something more portable - my legion pro 5 absolutely slays anything I throw at it but the thing is a brick. and it comes with a brick. and brick + brick means a very, very heavy bag. Wish this game would run on a netbook! ha!

It actually ran decently on a Surface Book 2 before the graphics upgrade, which was relatively lightweight. The 980 mobile in there took a beating. However, the Surface Book was designed with passive heating, and the laptop couldn't keep up with the demands of high end gaming for long before its started throttling itself.

The HP Omen is fairly lightweight by itself, but it too has a brick for a power supply.

Why not get a ASUS RoG Ally X or if money is tight, a Ally Z1 Extreme? It plays this game really well and it's very portable where you can even play from the comfort of your bed.

I wish the devs grew a pair and directly just started saying "no" to things instead of keeping everyone under the illusion of upcoming changes
