[PC/360] Final Fantasy XI Ultimate Collection Releases Today

[MyIS]Zips — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:50:35 GMT

The Final Fantasy XI Ultimate Collection was released today for the Xbox 360 and PC platforms. For just $19.99 (USD) gamers can pick up a retail box that includes the original game plus four expansion packs (Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treastures of Aht Urhgan, and Wings of the Goddess).

This pack also includes the tree add-on scenarios that were released earlier this year. This includes A Crystalline Prophecy - Ode of Live Bestowing, A Moogle Kupo d'Etat - Evil in Small Doses, and A Shantotto Ascension - The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born.

For just $19.99, this seems like a heck of a worthwhile purchase for someone looking to get into the Final Fantasy MMO for cheap. For more details, head on over to the Final Fantasy XI home page.

[360] Microsoft Bans Almost 1 Million XBox Live Users

[MyIS]Zips — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:24:26 GMT

It's estimated that between 600,000 and 1 million Xbox Live users have been banned courtesy of Microsoft due to piracy.

"All consumers should know that piracy is illegal and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs violates the Xbox Live terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox Live," Microsoft said in a statement Wednesday.

However, those who were banned for modifying their consoles to allow for larger hard drives may have gotten the short end of this ban stick.

"It's fair for people to feel that they should be able to do whatever they want with something that they have bought, but it's also fair for Microsoft to do everything it can to reduce the risk of piracy," said Dave Taylor, publishing director for GamerZines.com.

"In some cases though, modding (modifying) is done to allow a bigger hard drive, and given that the supplied hard drives are still very small comparative to what is available on the market, and expensive also, you can see why some people are going to be very angry."

However, he said, "the biggest problem in banning modded consoles � and this gets missed by most people � is that it is the console itself that gets banned. So many of these consoles get sold secondhand, even sometimes unwittingly by stores (that) accept them as trade-ins, to people who assume they have just bought a functioning console. And while it might technically boot up, the console is blacklisted and therefore pretty much useless to them."

Solid figures on the number of bans were not revealed. But with the release of Modern Warfare 2 this week, the timing of these piracy and modification bans couldn't have come at a more interesting time.

Wireless router

[IF]Gen.Danger — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:52:30 GMT

Help!!!

I got 50MB internet installed today (very cool).

I also got a wireless router (D-Link DIR-615)

If I have a direct hard wire from main moden (not wireless) then I get max speed from internet.

Here is my question:

If I run an ethernet cable from the back of the wireless router to my PC then will I lose some of my bandwidth doing so??

I know from before when I used the USB connector that it caused no end of problems with my connection.

I just want the best connection for my gaming.

Anyone in the know about this please??

Many thanks.:thumbsup:

knowing very well that p2p in this place (Estonia) is a complete failure.
I hope a lot of fins got the game so I have someone to play with. If not, then I`m **** outta luck.

Applying for the development teams

[21CW]TA|Terran — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:17:15 GMT

As we've had some people applying for the mod and map team lately I want to clarify the procedures for everyone how to do it correctly:

The 21CW - Mod Team is lead by me. It is the most limited group of all and will have access to all development forums. I will only accept applications if you contacted me first either on TS or by PM. I will talk to you for a bit to figure your intentions and your skills. I won't accept people that only want to discuss the mod but don't intend to participate in the development of the mod, I don't need that.
The 21CW - MapTeam is lead by Gunnie. If you want to get in the Map team you need to contact him first. He will decide if he accepts you or not.
The 21CW - Mod Beta Testing is also lead by me. If you want to apply you should have some technical knowledge and can follow guides how to setup your system for testing etc. I expect you to be active in this group and help us testing whenever we have new fixes/changes ready for testing.

So there are at least two steps involved in applying for any of those groups:

Send the group leader a PM about your intentions.
Go to your User CP->Group Memberships and select the group you want to join

They said the game would be hack free, didn't they?

Apparently you don't get banned for using them, either.

Imagine when these hacks become more polished, and more widespread? All your games will last just a couple of minutes due to that awesome nuke, LoL

List of people who rage-quit as the host

Add more as you find them.

And Host Migration has only actually worked for me once. It has either failed completely, thus kicking me back to the menu, or connected everyone to a horribly laggy host.

How do I make config tweaks stay?

Wizrdwarts — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:45:31 GMT

I'm trying to shrink the grenade icons with "cg_hudGrenadeIconHeight" and "cg_hudGrenadeIconWidth". If I do it ingame while playing on a server, it works and the grenade icons become smaller, but whenever a join a server it overwrites back to the default value.

I've had no problem with the other tweaks like objective icon size, FOV, or showing flashbang icons. Are some config entries protected? Why do they work when changed ingame but revert to default on a new server? :confused:
