    Just a heads-up that Game on Henry's St. has some copies of FF XI going for €29.99 if anyone's still looking. Bought a copy myself, now just have to wait for a decent broadband service to move to/expand out to my area...

    does anyone know if this is playable on isdn 64k? i'd imagine it is as i can play counter strike source with a 70 ping.

    i bought this game today but i have to update it which will take ages (going to bring pc to a mates house to update it).

    Glad I'm waiting 'til I get hooked up with broadband so...
    And excuse my ignorance but what is/are "ping"/"pings"?

    It is the delay in milliseconds that is created by the dekays in connections etc...
    So a ping of 300 means that , I think , there would be a 3 second delay in you movements. I'm not to sure how exact that is, but a ping shouldnt be such an issue with final fantasy as it would be with a live action game such as CS

    apparently it works with a 56k dial up connection, but even with bb your looking at about 5 to 6 hours download time

    Ah, I see. Remember I used to have dreadful problems playing Diablo 2 LOD online because of the delays, you could be dead and not find out for another 15 seconds! :(
    Hopefully when I get broadband this will be fairly low.

    it's in milliseconds so 1000 ping is 1 second.

    started playing today on the ramuh server in bastok.

    slowly getting the hang of it.

    just to let you know the game itself is totally playable on isdn64k the connection thingy at the top right hand corner stays at 100% all the time.

    Hmm, with no need for a credit card I'm interested in picking this up now...

    I've been playing Guild Wars for the last month, and although it's a great game and I'll be playing it for ages still because of the guild element, the longevity of the actual story and RPG element is short. Once you reach a certain level there really is nothing else to do...I'm so very tempted...damn!
