Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
Even though I don't play it's sad how few people are on. When I started the game there were usually about 4000 people on at my time.

I also started on Xbox, but not on this account.
i played for 2 months on a shared account, before i moved and got my own. A surprising amount.
Many people i know who played on PS2/Xbox lived in remote parts of the states, or Remote parts of Europe on an import PS2 and FFXI Copy. All of them who i know and said goodbye today, where also running on Dial up. One of them said she left her PC running for 5 days, and it barely downloaded all the installer parts from the website. I doubt i'll see her on FFXI for very long time. Edit: Plus in an era where you can totally get away with everything on a modern Android phone... Having a computer is no longer a commodity, but a necessity in the modern day.

Yeah but look at the US, there is still a LARGE portion of the population who don't even have access to anything better than dial up as their internet.
The same applies to areas of rural Japan too. Offline

Seriously, in this day and age we're almost to the point of high speed internet access being considered a household utility alongside water and electricity. A computer is basically fully considered to be a necessity in the current era. Also slight brag, this is my internet atm in rural Vermont with 2 people streaming.

Yeah downloading the game will take a while but why wouldn't someone be able to play it on a ***connection like that? Getting access to a potato with a screen on it to play isn't hard no matter where you live unless you're in a third world country or on an island in the middle of the atlantic ocean. They've been able to afford a sub fee for XI for a decade, they can afford a $150 computer to continue playing if they really care about it. |
