FFXI Market Forecasting

Ron = Jesus?

In recent FFXI related news...

We would like to report the termination today of multiple accounts held by
players involved in the usage of third-party tools or cheats, or engaged in RMT
(Real Money Trading) activities.

Based on the results of our investigation, over 3400 PlayOnline accounts
were terminated while over 500 accounts were temporarily suspended.Details of
the violations are as follows:

- Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement.
Approx. 600 cases

- Usage of tools that circumvent game mechanics with respect to the timing
of ability use, etc. in certain areas or at points where Notorious Monsters
appear.
Approx. 200 cases

-Using cheats to automatically repeat a particular action.
Approx. 2200 cases
*The above number reflects the total number of accounts banned within the
period of a month. This does not include individual cases handled by GMs.

- Accounts from people that were previously confirmed to have RMT
connections, or that had violated the user agreements but re-subscribed to
PlayOnline.
Approx. 900 cases

The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of
approximately 2.8 billion gil from circulation.

What does this mean? Continue to see falling prices. The power of gil should gradually get stronger in the next few months, with items liquidating accross the server. However, be aware, with less GS/bots, we have less buyers of craft consumables and sellers of top-tier items.

Good or bad? Depends on how you see things.

Noob

Noob

Since I’m not playing FFXI as of yet, I decided to check out my collection of pictures once again. Coming across then one made me laugh too hard; so I decided to post about it.

Gimpy-noun- In FFXI it referees to players who do not have good equipment. For instance a player is at level 30, but still using equipment from level 15.

I was in the dunes leveling up my WHM on this special night. Within the party they all made fun of me for being a ‘noob’, since I did not have any decent gears on. On my defenses: It wasn’t because I can’t afford it. It was because there wasn’t any room in my inventory.

This was the resulting after math of one battle with a goblin.
Being an experience FFXI player... I knew about the " bomb toss", they didn't.

My team mate all went berserk thinking that “Oh it just shitty unfair how the noob stay alive”

All I can say to them was “Who’s the noob now?” ^^

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

A few days ago I located this picture in my computer, it was quite funny. The picture sparked my thinking of a post called “Good day, Bad day”. So here the post for your enjoyment.

This is a good day in Vana'diel for me.


Now, this is a 'bad day' for me.


Here is a victory for me.


and a lost for me, a 'really bad day'.


For those who wonder what picture that lead to this post, here it is.

It's story time once again!!

There was this one time Hyourin, Houzukimaru, and I went and had fun in Maze of Shakhrami. I forgot for whatever the reason was, but we were there. I ‘somehow’ aggravate the crawler and decided to run for it (chuckles...'somehow'). Almost to the zone I stopped and returned because of Hyourin constantly bitching that “We can take it on, so don’t run. I’m a Paladin, I can tank it.Just Perfect Doge it”. Ill fated for me,apparently he did not noticed the numbers of crawler I had grather together during my escapade. It lead to him saying...“I cant save u now”. But I had Perfect Doge on and the text flew by quite fast.All I could see was “over here”. So I ran back, Perfect Doge wears off, and I die. Thank You Hyourin.


I came up with this segment that I'll call "/em4u". So please enjoy.


So what I have been doing all this time away from Vana'diel? This (look below)



Hope you enjoy this, and leave comments please!!

Farming My Non-existing Elvaan Arse Off

Sometimes when I think how lofty my FFXI goals are, its enough to make Chubbie cry.
Dual boxing isn't without its costs. Heres my short term Christmas list.

1. 1 Utsusemi: Ni scroll
2. 1 Koenig Shield
3. 2 Jujitsu Gi
4. 2 Woodsman Ring
5. 2 Chivalrous Chain
6. 1 Ochiudo's Kote
7. 1 Horomusha Kote
8. 2 Fuma Kyahan
9. 2 Scorpion Harness

Now, don't start thinking uncle Hyo here has gil bursting out of his subligar. I've had to fiend off gil sellers and farmers for my gil 24/7. However, I think I can check off numbers 1 thru 5 by the second week in May. Finals are coming up and for myself, studying has a strong correlation with farming.

Besides day dreaming, WHM has been fun with Chubbie. However, I can't wait to get out of the dunes and away from all the noobtards. I have much admiration and repsect for WHMs now that I myself am one too.

Peace and Calm

Sometimes the finer things in life are the quiet times.

Read last post first!

Hey! My life story in a comic strip!!!!!!!! Wow I really thought it was a documentary on my life in FFXI. Kind of scary how acute it was.

It reminds me how Hyourin showed how to slap chars model asses (by showing, I mean he doing onto me). He unleashed a storm in Vana'diel. Oh how many times I heard “I'm going to get a GM on you” or “Hey that my wife”; some people have a bit too much of a metal connection with their virtual char.

As a low level char Hyourin walked me from Windrust to Mhura. During that walk I saw the giraffe monster. Long story short, I wanted to attack it.

Running from a mob… I don’t know why I try anymore. Why? Because they always get me, like 2inch from the zone. That or zoning and dieing. I think SE is doing it on purpose.

Oh ya, with me never ending quest of not being the poorest THF on our sever, At one point I also try this method

I Attack Nowz!

This made me laugh so hard thinking of Yukimu. Click on it to enlarge.
