Interesting FFXI update stuff!

[thistlechaser]

Yeah, yeah, I'm late in looking at the updates. Blame work!

"Chat filter options will be expanded."

Please, please let that be the blocking of /random rolling crap. Gamblers be gone!

"A new Gobbiebag quest will be introduced."

YAY!

"The Old Sabertooth in Sauromugue Champaign will no longer drop any items."

About time. That'll show the asses (including the one on our own LS). ...though I suppose if they're doing it to be asses this won't stop them.

"Several previously unstackable foods will now be stackable."

If I get no other wish out of this update, it's that this will include Jack o'Lanterns. I have an entire mule just to hold the 70 or so of them that I have!

"Also, we are planning several new events for the end of the year, so keep your eyes open!"

Eee! Yay!

"Another issue being addressed during this version update is the monopoly over certain monsters and items by a number of players.
The development team is currently working on several methods to combat these types of actions. "

Very interesting that they're finally addressing that, huh? And the gillseller point as well? I wonder if it's because people are leaving for WoW and such...

I wonder if this will help with coffer camping. One can only hope. And just with the game economy in general.

Let's just hope, like Aur said, they'll stop screwing over the fishers. I'd like to get back to that, and actually make decent profit for woodworking money. >_

That would be very, very nice, yes.

What is a Gobbiebag?

And what is WoW? :P

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

WoW is... um. Warcraft on... um. Warcraft online... something. Some other MMORPG that just opened up and is apparently pretty popular.

Gobbiebags are just a backpack-type thing. The stuff you can hold all your stuff in.

[kwolfhard.livejournal.com]

Oh right. World of Warcraft. That actually sounds really cool and would likely be more easy to get into than FFXI.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's it! Yeah. I'm not sure how much easier it'd be than FFXI, but I know it's a lot uglier/cartoonish/unrealistic. One of the reasons I like FFXI so much is how amazingly beautiful and realistic it is (jaw droppingly beautiful, literally). I could never go to someplace like WoW...

I mean, look at this: http://www.hot-hot-hot-catlove.com/ffxi/06-15-sunrise.jpg I just picked a random screenshot of the 100 or so I have online, and I came up with that. :)

o.O

there's someone on CTY who camps Old Sabertooth for drops?

for shame!!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Not even just for drops, he laughed over screwing up other people. He's done this before, too. (Said he wished they hadn't changed the bug that lets people screw up crafters by casting on them as they synth. He had said he'd like to find someone making sniper's rings and make them fail them.) Ziggles.
