Details on Current Known Issues (Jul. 25)

From SE: Since the implementation of the latest version update on Jul. 18, 2005, the following quest related issue has been discovered. Maintenance to address this issue was performed on Jul. 25, 2005 at 2:00 (PDT). -After making a request to the "An Affable Adamantking?" NPC for a new quest item, and then speaking to the "A Moral Manifest?" NPC, players will obtain an incorrect item and will no longer be able to receive the correct item from the original NPC. This issue also occurs when making a new item request to the "A Moral Manifest?" NPC, then speaking to the "An Affable Adamantking?" NPC. * For players who have obtained the incorrect item and have yet to complete the quest, the correct item may be obtained by trading the incorrect item to the original quest NPC.

is there ONE single post in this thread thats actually about the post? anyone? what item was the 'wrong' item? what item was the 'right' one? i think most of you just like bit*%ing. i thought most gamers were male, but with all this griping and complaining, id swear you were all just a buncha high-school fems with PMS. take a chill, and stay on topic.

Video cards are almost plug & play - all you need to do is install the driver software. Suggest going out to buy a new video card and installing it yourself. Your parents will be proud you had the initiative! Just be carful about touching the connectors with dirty hands, and always make sure you are grounded, because static can kill computers. Anyway, static usually isn't a problem in the middle of summer.
woooohooooooo

GOD ******* DAMMIT!!!

STFU about Verizon, if they lost their pipeline to Japan I would be able to access the dozens of Japanese websites I use everyday, and they all still work fine! If you impatient ******** are going to cancel something, cancel FFXI so we don't have to listen to your ******** anymore. For the last ******* time, this is a POL issue, not an ISP one!

Get a grip people!

Edit:

P.S. To you people trying to calm others down and provide useful information to try and identify the problem, my hat's off to you. Thank you for such considerations and time.

Well I'm not able to log on tonight. I'm going to go to bed and hopefully when I wake up it will be running smoothly. If not, well, I'll just keep trying tomorrow I guess. Good luck to everyone still trying to get on.

Hmmm nice info... people may want to check this site:

Internet Traffic Report

but the data for servers seems to be a bit off... this shows problems with Asia points but we all know that people are able to access. It shown no problems in CA though...

Think about it this way, it was POL's update that caused the problem, not Verizon changing (at least from what i see), so if you are going to cancel anything, cancel your FF membership :)

the real problem here is that there are no servers, or mirrors in the USA, or anywhere else as far as I know.
eh :\

Eheh, i thought it was just me ;\ i decided to check alla after throwing my modem down the stairs o.o lol (and it still works :P) but yeah....after a long day i was expecting to play ffxi and this ._.'
And the answer is...
# Jul 25 2005 at 10:59 PM Rating: Decent
I spent a half an hour on the phone waiting to get to talk to someone at Playonline and their answer was this..."This is the third call from a Verizon user. There is some issue with Verizons pipeline to Japan that data won't go through." Hmmmm... let me see if i get this right. For the internet to work for any servers in Japan all data goes through one "pipeline". I only hope that Verizon is not responcible for world commerce because they just lost our link to Japan....LOL. Do they really believe that will pass as an answer???

POL fed u a bunch of BS about verizon, i'm afraid. if it was verizon's fault, wouldn't i be able to get online since i do not use Verizon. furthermore, does that account for the fact that POL website won't work either...
bah

I'm currently using charter, and for the first 12 hours or so after the update I couldn't connect to FFXI, but I could connect to POL.

I shut down my computer completely. I unplugged my router and my modem. left them all off for a good five minutes. plugged in my moedem first, waited for it to run through it's diagnostics and whatnot. then powered my router, then my computer. as soon as I tried connecting to pol it was logged in, hit that lovely play button, and agreed to the terms. took about a second and a half, and I was playing FF again.

Haven't had problems since.

my suggestion is to try doing what I did, in thta order.

Good Luck, I hate to see people not getting any play time.

I am a verizon user and I shut everything down and unplugged everything and replugged everything and waited 5 minutes to start up the internet and still I don't have my game!!

you have to leave everything unplugged for a few minutes, then plug them in, in the order I gave. of course, it might not work for you. maybe I just got lucky.

It could be that I'm on the West Coast too?

ISP Problem?

I have general knowledge of how DNS and ISPs work, and i would assume that since the majority of people who have had problems are on two ISPs(Verizon, unexpected for me, they are generaly pretty good, but then again I have Fios(fiber optics). and Charter, which ive heard bad things about) i would guestimate it is a DNS problem, since other people on other ISPs are having problems. But eh, what do i know? im not the one working on the problem(which neither are the people who work at SE since its still night in japan :-/.

edit: Just ran a tracert, and it looks like something it down, gonna try to change my DNS server and see how that goes.

Edit2: Used 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 as my DNS servers, and still nothing, god that sucks.
