** I HAVE A QUESTION!!!**

Several years ago, right around the time before the spawn of FFXIAH.com, lots of the servers were acting up. SE said, there were hackers, but not of the RMT variety, and couldn't find any malicious things to their servers, other than they were being lagged out.

(We were doing /sea all, and nothing would come up, auction house mostly was affected. Lots of searches for items, and they wouldn't become visable.)

After a while, the problem slowly went away, and SE never claimed to have fixed anything.


My question is...

Was this the FFXIAH.com team setting up, and jacking in, to collect all the AH data, or was FFXIAH.com related at all to this?


If not...

How does FFXIAH.com collect their data, and do they have to pay a monthly subscription to do so?

Thank you for the well thought-out post. I can definitely see where you're coming from. I'll need a bit to think about it, but my philosophy on the subject is hardly absolute.

Lakshmi.Galvaya:

Not to my knowledge. While I won't comment on how we get our data, I will say that it hasn't changed in well over four years, so any accidental... uh, "effects," from our meddling would have to date all the way back to then.

This explains why 45% of the server afks near the AH NPCs.

The rest are drawn to Joachim's aura of charisma.

Wauw. Well I'm up for the challenge since I'm kinda bored this summer, and I've got a knack for boring, OCD-worthy tasks.

AND I STILL PLAY FFXI, DAMMIT! XD
Those are the best type of tasks :), at least for me >.>

What powers does Joachim have?! Oh yeah the power of counting... whereas my man Horst can teleport you ANYWHERE with a maw.

He's got *** lining up to ride him all the way to Valkurm dunes.

And that neckbeard on Horst is lies and slander

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my god.... I'll have to dig up that thread on tuesday (maybe weds) and sing it since the folks will be out of town. That's assuming someone still has the pokemon proc lyrics there.

Someone make a note of this and harass me about it so I don't forget!

hmm, well the incident i'm referring to was around 2007~2008. Back when they took away our ability to get multiple OP warps in 1 day.
