what is the different btw NA and EU? 3d secure billing problem?

well im long time ffxi players along with my gf.. for like 6 years, although we quit at last year but i didn't end the subscription n still paying until lately around april i check statement found out they somehow stop billing, log in to pol ask the 3d secure thing. obviously i didn't care so much since we quit. i'm using CITIBANK MY cc to pay off the 2 accounts.

so if i was going to play on NA version, i need a cc with 3d secure? just wanna make sure. I think i have a POSB SG debit card which is activate with 3d secure, the one where you need one time password? i thought this 3d secure thing were suppose to activate by most of our local bank cc provider?

anyone is making a new linkshell for msian players and an admin to handle dkp system?

i will be playing the pc version first tho i not yet decide which version to buy. my gf will follow up, when the ps3 version release. i was hoping NA, coz i can hook back with my ex-ls friends but me n my gf sorta want to play with local players.

from the list.. i think we still lack of players for stuff like dynamis, hnm, znm, snm n einherjar (ok i know this events might not in ffxiv but something like that). maybe we can hook up with sg players coz they are gmt +8 as well. plz pardon my ignorance coz i'm not really up to date with ffxiv progress but i guess more members means easier to do big events.

it will be nice to hook up with some really hardcore people coz if u're ex-ffxi u should know why.

we both have experience on kill sea-nm up to av(b**** to kill), wryms, einherjar up to odin, sky-nm, limbus-finish, salvage, nyzul-complete, dynamis-all, znm up to pande warden but fail, toau-hnm, hnm, scnm, ks99 and those asorted nm in wing of goddess.

events we love most - dynamis

activities me- fishing n goldsmithing. my gf - cooking n clothcraft. guess we will be doing the same in ffxiv.

edit: as for jobs going to play.. not yet decide. my gf will mostly play whm and blm.

so what's the different NA n EU?

NA need 3d secure EU don't? which version are you will be using?

why not just get CC or Debit card with 3D secure? so don't really have to worry about it.

can we still play with jp players ? or they fall under their own region?

my fren in nyc pre-order for me from amazon usd75+tax around 80 something. he will help me set up the account once he get my copy. just need to find the image on release date.

it is confirm na/eu/jp all playing in global server. just not sure whether need world pass invite or not.

well anyway.. if anyone interest to join a inkshell base on na/jp/asean players can pm me. this shell are mainly peoples from ffxi and white knight chronicles.

this shell are mainly for people who aim to explore more in the end game, so alot of commitment are require. w

appointed an admin who will work on dkp system for end-game events. each players must be able to participates at least 2 or 3 events in a week when ur character reach the point of max level.

can pm me if interest, your nick, job u planning to play, profession, and which nation u pick. maybe the ls will pick nation for u as it is easier since the whole ls start from the same nation. www

more details will be given out to people who is interest. currently only like that.. anyway have fun w

just really hope more gmt+8 will join.. ww coz me n my gf really hope to play with more m'sian base players.

i really wish ffxiv will have events like dynamis, excitement !

i think since people said ffxiv is a whole new game. put the slow and casual thing away first.

most important is to team up... and have fun together.

most of my frens were from the states.. so i'm trying to find more local players to play on local times.. it will be a big ls, i'm not really sure if they lift up the limit for each ls.

if currently anyone of u, don't have any shell or lookin for one, if interest just pm me. u can leave the ls if it doesn't suit u.

just wanna say.. most of my frens are some really cool peoples to hang around with.. we have been together since the birth of ffxi ^^

Teaming up isn't a problem. Most important is the exp and pt members limit.
I've been in multiple ls before run by NA folks. None of them worked well and dramas begin when we start distributing gears.

The dramas that happened were more amusing then a heated argument between 12yr old kids XD.

@Juine u've better be careful on this because they had somesort of kinship award going around in the linkshell.
*
like the major people in our ls, we have been together 6 years, don't really have problem with that. we're now at least 26-40 in term of age w. tho they live in the states but most of them are asian. we have around 30-40 members for now n still recruiting n things are looking good so far.

in a ls, there is bound to have a bad apple, it just lies on ls officer leadership. sometimes i even have some dispute with other officer, but we never left for each other.. n usually will be fine after a cooldown time. we don't hold grudge for each other. tho i'm recruiting members from lowyat, or any new members that interest to join, he/she will put under observation for a period of times. running few events, checking his attitude n skill which we took at priority. we take friendship very deep, umm dunno how to explain. as for the very bad players with bad attitude, we will just kindly ask him to leave the ls w. simple as that.

if you respect our point system, no drama then. to earn respect from people u also need to respect people first.

to prove yourself worthy, you need to work hard on it ^^ on occasion, when we have some major problem, we will hold up for meeting to discuss a matter where everyone can come up with a decision.

for us, i dunno how about u guys .. but linkshell for us is like a family w ^^ this is opinion how every success ls should be, and most other ls i know are also the same. sometimes we even have alliance with other ls to do some great thing which i really enjoy.

i run a good guild in wkc w, i choose my member carefully and my wkc guild are following me to join us in ffxiv w. it will be a major blast.

This sound like a typical strong NA LS...(is it a NA timezone based LS?)
Sometime i feel weird with those strong NA LS/guild , they have top gear/weapon or first LS defeat the No.1 Boss in game, but once outside of their guild they can't do anything.

For example in FFXI there was a raid called "Nyzul", JP just shouted or joined in the town and got full members in 3 minutes, these TOP NA LS have to arrange time with their LS members and don't forget that everyone have different living. In addition nyzul is restricted to 6 members only, LS leader will tend to choose members with better gears or his closed friend, the rest members have to wait second or third rounds if leader still willing to help or they make their own team, each round usually take 2-3 months to complete. Of course this may happen in JP LS too, but JP players got alternative choice that many shout in town they could just grab and join one or shout by themselves.

My advise is go to an environment that u could communicate with as many people as possible rather than the only LS/guild/community u know. It is impossible to let everyone like us or to like everyone even if we have try our best, someday when there is conflict of personality in LS, we decide or asked to leave because we are less-important people eg not an event organizer, at least we can still find other LS or play with many other players even without LS, which is also more convenient and flexible for people who unable to make commitment.
*
yes i used to be in a very strong NA ls but we have around 5 JP member that time, the ls is so big that we needed 4 pearls to maintain, each pearl are represent for something. timezone are mostly base on whole day depends on that day. what is "once outside their guild they can't do anything?"

Nyzul wasn't really called raid, and Nyzul is really easy and it can be done on "pug" (pick up group), for events like Nyzul we usually just post up ls chat checking who is interest n if no one is interest will just check friendlist, only do "pug" as last alternative coz truthfully, we don't really want to screw up things although we don't really mind ww. there is no who gears best who in or ls leader choose who he want bullshit w.. we dont choose who n who, you up you get point, stuff drop, priority point persons lot. fair n square, simple as that.

People also can do shout for only camping Fatnir/Nidhogg why not Nyzul, n it actually went pretty well. I done this with a temporary so call HNMLS with almost 16+ jp members and 2 members from NA. I joined for fun and the LS was up till everyone get the stuff they lot for. I still remember the LS leader was a JP, and we only use the translation try to communicate. luckily it went well ^^ i even went to some of their dynamis run as guest.. got few good stuff from it.

seriously, base on what you guys reply, you all just scare with favouritism, am i right? actually i really dunno how to explain this w, my relationship with the ls member also start from 0. i also dunno who n who are them, most of them are also real life friend. i'm like the only asian people in the whole ls w. tho they're asian but they live in na. we also work very hard on exping, camping pop item, help out this n that. too many to tell. tho most of us quit, we still chat around saying hi.

i seen alot of up and fall on every major end-game ls, not just NA.. it happen on JP ls as well. it's really depends on how you see things. just relax ^^ w that's why i said a good leadership is very extremely important in one ls. you got a good leader then you're set.

me n my gf just really just want to play with more m'sian, coz after all will have more people to play at night time coz she work n i don't. if u guys are setting up a new ls, hopefully we can be in a same world so we can apply to join in. ^^ why i am recruiting people mainly becoz well my ls had pretty good foundation to start with + we can play together with other region people. never afraid of not enough people to team up. i don't really like "pug" except no choice.

i always believe a weak players can be improve coz if someone can do it why not others? our ls rarely gives up on weak players, it all depends on whether you can accept people advise. always good to discuss strategy beforehand n this is for very small events such as exping or on a quest. events such as dynamis, or killing hnm, you are require to follow what officer ask you to do, coz your officer are the main guy who will responsible for everythin n report to ls leader for that events. i dunno how to explain here. we can accept mistake but if you keep repeating the same mistake again n again n put the whole alliance in jeopardy, then good luck www ^^ i do take a person attitude highly coz to prevent drama happening tho i know this is very hard to escape. we never had a drama on item dropping due coz everyone need to accept the point system.

so excited ^^ coz ffxiv is so close to release date, feel like xtc n nightmare for me ^^

Most people just not happy with favouritism instead of scare, or we can call it "unfair" sometime. Only few people can take it positive, it is like u are as hard working/good as B, but boss give B more salary because B is a relative or boss like him more, i think most people will feel unhappy with it, only few will say i am happy as long as boss pay me the salary that he promised me. We learn to accept favouritism, then ignore it or leave it(if got choice) because it is a human being.

From above reply i saw these events/activities like camped NM, pt-ed, missions, battlefields, raid etc were mostly did with LS/guild members or friendlist, that's what i mean "once outside their guild they can't do anything". Let say today NA want to do mission or battlefield, he have to check LS website to see if today got such event, if not then ask LS members who is currently online, still not enough members then seek friendlist help. People may got other plan like want to gain exp or other excuse unable to help, for a big LS with 30-50 members online all the time, it is still possible to get enough people to make a team, in case of a small ls with 6-10 members then... ahem.... My question is, there are hundreds of players in town who want to do same battlefield or mission, why NA not just shout like JP who able to make a team within 3 minutes rather than spend 1 hour to ask and wait LS members or give up finally. After joined a few NA shout team i might have some conclusions.

Anyway, i am still confusing that where do u live and which region prime time u play? It doesn't matter that JP LS got NA member like i said earlier, they are very friendly once they know u/become friend though a few members still dislike attendance of non-japanese-speaking people. However, if u send a tell to strange JP wish to join their team, let say the most basic and simple exp team, not matter how friendly u are, he will probably reply with translator like [i'm sorry] [english, no thanks].

There's no problem at all for english-speaking asian who plan to play at NA prime time, for those who cant speak japanese but have to play at JP prime time, how are u u going to survive in the environment of 90% players are japanese and most of them have bad impression with english-speaking players? Can the rest 10% players enough to build a strong guild/friendlist which they have to count on for everything? When there is conflict of personality within the only one LS where can we go else? Of course this is just a game, may be we should just take it easy and see how things go later or try do something.

FFonline is one of the rare global server MMORPG with some critical issue that doesn't exist in region server MMORPG, i think we need to clarify difference of environment/culture between JP and NA prime time.
*
first of all i stay in jb, my prime time playing were day & night, maybe not every night. was there a NA prime time n JP prime time? how you differ it? ^^ w

well i don't really quite understand what u try to tell me but, it seem like you have problem playing at ffxi where you get alot of jp only things along with looking for people for quest and mission.

my ffxi pt exping (only) i don't really sit n wait for people to shout only to get into a group, i build my own group, maybe there was like a couple of us who want to exp now, i will just do a shout or check out the people who is seeking, if you want a jp guy to join your group at least get a couple jp inside so they don't really get bored. sometimes i get reply with jp only, and i will reply them there is a couple jp members inside n they usually will say yes to u coz if they still jp only to u.. it's their lost w.. i don't really care.

for mission and quest, we will try to get most of english speaking people coz we need discuss strategy unless the jp dude is dead sure know what his/her role. that's why you can see jp people tend to pick up jp people for quest/mission only. everytime you see a shout in the jp msg, they usually stated at what time, what date so they not really make the pt right away except for exping. i met alot of NA bad seed... but not really all NA were that bad.. there is still alot of good one out there.

for us, yup everyone can post small events at forum, stated date and time. this is jsut to let everyone know in advance so they can prepare. only big events are decide by that event leader, usually it is done in weekends, sat & sun. i got talk with my friends about my intention on this forum recruiting more gmt+8 people into the ls. if we can come out with more members from asian, we will probably set up big events that is more friendly time for asian region, n for those people who on na region who able to make it, just hop in.

i dunno but seems like some of u having some really trying to enjoy ffxi. don't let the past haunt u w.. i think ffxiv will be more easier game than ffxi. some of my frens are currently in the beta, from their feedback it is very quite a different game but.. we all dunno the end-game yet ^^

if you have conflict with the people in the ls, you can take it out n talk openly, what's the problem. if you don't like this guy or got big problem, treated unfair or what then just leave the ls, what kind of attitude is that? ^^ or you said being kick out by ls, come on.. if you doing something when everyone think it is wrong and try not to change, how you expect us to help u? secondly we rarely kick people out of the ls, it is just a rule to protect the ls from breaking up. we ultimately don't want an ass-hole in a ls. so before you even join, you oledi scare this n that.. ww in all respect, how you gonna success in life? ^^ everything need to take risk only to know the outcome, just take is as an experience. this is like in real life, you go to work, you don't like your workplace, just quit and find another one. ^^

i'm actually trying to combine another ls which is more casual to play together but this is yet final. my plan was to this ls the strongest NA ls around. we still dunno who going to take the most undesirable position (main ls leader) but will soon to know. it will be voted by all the officer when the ls is in final. events leader will be decide after 70% of the ls members rdy for eng-game. we have people who will work on point system now and still experiencing a better point system, n still looking for people to make a forum as the old one is dead. remember this is not yet an official end-game ls due to when we play we still need to exping this n that, doing quest n mission. i'm just trying to give you all a picture what our ls will be or sharing my ls experience which i think every ls should be in the end-game.

i don't really care much about this game, but to be able going back playing again with friends on a game we all likes, that is just awesome. this is how i want to be for you n me. i know everyone have their own time n stuff like that, it is unavoidable. that's why i'm trying to gather more people to play so we don't really have to cling on each other.

actually i rather hope, at least, in this forum we can make a m'sian group up first. coz looking at the list, still not a bad list ww. ^^One people who is interest to join my ls, you can pm me first. as for details, i will sort it out n e-mail back to u when close to the release date.

y do u want to run scripts on them 0.0?
If it's because of the windowed mode ver that ff11 that had, i believe SE might fixed that issue on ff14.
Unless u want those neat hacks like tp monitor,hp/mp watch, map monitor ,auto-target and a couple of those hacks.

Console and PC platform play experience is totally different.

there used to be a program, umm need to pay usd20 tho. the program simply hack ffxi, auto script fishing, teleport, speed hack, auto bot heal (when you dual boxing), hnm timer, camping bot, map showing mobs and alot of stuff.. : p just really don't get caught. one of my fren was caught for using speed hack and was banned.

need to register your ffxi nick n each cost usd20 to activate the program. my fren bought it for me and tried it, loving it. ww i use them mainly for fishing, got lu-shang n ebisu that time. i love the fishing bot becoz it can auto-reply msg, when people trying to catch you idle while fishing.

got a kraken club (before they changed to ra/ex) from lord onzozo using the camping bot www... was sharing btw 3 people...but i let my fren who is main drk use it. kraken club was not that big deal anyway.. w the camping bot is the ultimate weapon when alot of competition.. w but it was not really usefel after SE alter NM drop. ><

----

i will play at PC first but then.. i will change to PS3 when release, coz will let my gf play the PC version instead. she not really good using PS controller to play FF, very slow respond. ww

by the way w is not icon for "lol" it just in jp it mean "warau" and for shortcut they used "w"
