Azure Sky is still running strong and accepting new players. More information on how to connect and get a game account can be found on the official forums.

Hamachi network doesn't exist. =/

Try lower case letters

I've tried every combination of upper/lower case letters I can think of, it still doesn't exist.

Edit: AGH finally got through. I think Hamachi doesn't like me. =/

Added a new utility command. If you are stuck in your mog house and can't get out through the door then just type @home and the server will send you to your home point.

Minor server updates:
Don't have to log out before changing jobs: Won't loose levels.
Mob abilities are back in: Some, others like in DLX were crashing so they were removed.
Players/mobs gain TP when they take damage.
NPCs are all working Visually (excluding moogles)
Mob Movement is enabled.
Crystal Drops enabled with signet
New Travel system is working out rather well.
@home command will also unstick you if your stuck in the world.

In about a week we will be Recruiting scripters for Azure Sky and possibly Dark Star.

That's right we will be looking for scripters with a little experience as we will be re-writing all the Azure Sky Scripts and verifying everything.
Items - Effects - Weaponskills - Abilities - Quests - Missions - and every other one in the field.

More info on this later as I don't have all of it set in stone yet.

I never played Final Fantasy XI because it cost way to much money for me but thanks to this server I'm having so much fun! Please keep up the good work! Some bugs i keep encountering but I'm sure they would get fixed.

Thanks and glad your having fun! I don't get a lot of time to do many bug fixes to this server. Most of my time is spent on the Dark Star server doing a lot of testing, scripting and working up stress tests.

When I do get a moment to make updates we get the following. ^^

Bug Updates/Fixes:
- Players can no longer use any weapon skill with every weapon. (example: Fast Blade with a Club)
- Players can no longer use any weapon skill they don't have enough skill to use. (example: Dancing Edge when level 1)
- Players can no longer cast spells while silenced.
- Further adjustments made to the Mob Abilities.
- 2 hour ability timer fixed. Players can no longer use their 2hr, shutdown the client, login and use it again. (This is per character and not per job)

New Features:
- Ranger can now be unlocked at lvl 30 by speaking with the standard NPC in Windy Woods.
- Following Ranger weapon skills are working
-- Hot Shot - Sniper Shot - Split Shot - Slug Shot - Flaming Arrow - Piercing Arrow - Dulling Arrow - Sidewinder
-- All are on a very random damage forumla. To be adjusted later.
-- Eagle Eye Shot updated.
-- Abilities:
---- Implemented Barrage.
---- Scavenge is working with a 75% success rate
--- Other Abilites are not implemented at this time.

Technical
A new WeaponSkill animation system was put in place. Haven't had time to check them all so just post if you get the wrong ones.

WARNING: Hamachi Housecleaning!!

It may have been an error of judgement on my part to run both servers through Hamachi on the same PC.
It may have been a 2nd error to connect azure sky to the dark star network and wish it the best of luck.

These were 2 things I've never tried before. Running Linux with Dark Star and then Running Windows XP on a VirtualBox on the Linux comp to run azure sky. While it works, it's sluggish for Azure Sky now and then. More now though than then.

SO!

Sometime this week I will be cleaning out Hamachi. And I mean I have a big fucking broom to chase all of you out of my networks!! heh. Anyways.. I will be Deleting EVERYONE from the Hamachi Networks. Hey! I am an equal opportunity deleter these days.

In the end I will be separating Dark Star Networks from Azure Sky networks.
Dark Star will still run from darkstarffxi up to darkstarffxi5 Password: ds
Azure Sky will run on AzureSkyFFXI up to AzureSkyFFXI5 (case sensitive) Password: asf

Azure Sky networks are up and running so if you move there I won't be deleting you from them. Just the Dark Star Networks to clean them up.
