Hello,
I'm obviously new to these forums. I have a couple of questions if you guys don't mind.
I've been searching for a Private FF XI Server for quite some time and was extremely excited to find these forums. I've read through some of the threads and intend to download the files I need as soon as I get home (i'm stuck at work). One question I have is this, once I've downloaded and placed the files in the correct folders, what am I connecting to? Or is all the relevant information stored locally on my PC?
My ultimate goal is to set up my own server and host FF XI for my close friends, and possibly others if the situation allows. I'll have an opportunity to place a personal server in a SAS-70 Certified data center with guaranteed 24/7 power and bandwidth. I'd like to use this in order to host from.
Also, it seems as though each person creating their pserver is having to go through and correct issues with the game. Is there a collaborative project i could get involved in? I'd like my friends and i to be able to experience all aspects of the game, but highly doubt i'd ever find the time to patch everything up myself.
I was really hoping to take a friend of mine into places like Dynamis and Sea and other fun places.
Thank you guy for your time. Looking forward to hearing from ya.
