Default Re: FFXI impressions

Murphy's Law: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

Ok, let me describe my day yesterday. I went to the nearest university to my house yesterday and took the ACT. (Yesterday was a national test date). I had to get up at 5:45 PM to go take the test. After taking it, I went to wal-mart to seek the game. I bought it for the PS2, along with a network adapter. Then I needed a keyboard. I couldnt find a USB keyboard ANYWHERE. I ended up finding one in this little computer store for $25.

I come home, and run a phone line to my room and install my new 40gig harddrive and my network adapter. I plug everything up, then begin to install PlayOnline. It works perfectly (even though it took like 3 hours.) Then I click the "install" button in the POL navigator, and install the other DVD it came with...the FFXI one.

Then I go to "game", and click "FFXI". I purchase a content ID. Then I click "play". It tells me I need to download updates. So I start to download them. When it is "preparing system to update", it completes, but IMMEDIATLY after it completes this, a window pops up and says "error (insert number here)". It tells me that the network is busy, or that I have communication problems, or my settings arent correct. I know that my hardware is working, because I can connect to the internet and everything on my PS2. I think my settings are right...I dont know what I could do to change it.

So right now I am reinstalling the FFXI disc. If this doesnt work, I guess I'll have to use 3 more hours to install Play Online.

And I have a few questions:
1. How do I create two handles on one member ID on playonline?

2. World Pass? anyone? lol
