Has there been any discussion around my 10k title yet?

If so, what has been put forward?

Notice how I didn't ask whether or not I'm getting a title because I damn well better!


Ask danalog.


That's just mean. Smiley: frown

How do the admins feel about that most of the player base use ffxiclopedia (Well from what I can see.) for information then your database, guides,etc?

I personally just lurk the forums...don't post all that much.


Much of that shift occured due to the whole site sale debacle. As far as I am concerned, you should go where the best information is, and where the best tools for you to access that information are. If that isn't us, we need to improve our offerings. That being said, we have one of the larger and certanly the best FFXI content team out there. Period. And I would put our site completeness and accuracy over theirs any day. Are there areas we could improve? Sure. Much of those would require additional site developers which we currently don't have. But we do have plans for improvement across the board.

A print friendly format would increase my use of your database 100%. Not to mention a mobile zam.

I know pikko has been working on many print friendly guides. If you have any specific ones that would be specifically very useful, PM her with ideas, she would have a better idea of what is possible.

As for a mobile zam, I agree. You never know what we might have in the works...

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm no css expert) but can't you just enhance the style sheets to properly handle the guide text when printed?

Weeeeee.. first, a comment, then the question.

First the comment. You guys are great! There are two forum sites I go to. Allakhazam.com for my MMO's. And Neoseeker.com for my console gaming and PC hardware forums. But you guys are the bestest when it comes to admins. Ever watchful, and full of entertainment.

Second, the question. I really only want to know, if my two alla accounts can "merge". I like my first account I opened way back when, but I like my post count of this one. Can we change the names? Or merge them somehow?

Only read the first page but my question to Kao is: Will you ever learn to spell experience the right way?

Yes, you can, and most of the newer sites probably are built by that. FFXI site has a heck of alot of legacy code to it, it was basically the third site built after the origional EQ site (DAOC was second, EQOA may have been before FFXI, i'm not 100% sure) so there is alot of less than optimal code in there.

Possibly, it has happened before, Danalog was usually the one that handled it though. PM me the details and we'll see.

6390-ish in a 60-40 ratio trending towards the negative. And thats a pain in the *** question to answer because we have to wait for rate history to load, then copy to excel and count, etc. So no one else ask that one or I'm ignoring it.

That sounds about right.

Kao, if you had a green arrow I'd totally click on it.
