characters dissapearing

[Lane]

hi i was just wondering why when people walk past me and they are a few blocks away they dissapear. meaning i can only see people that are close to me and when they walk away they dissapear.. is it a connection or graphic card thing? im using geforce mx 440 btw which is a real pain >.< but im saving for a new one soon :) .

PC version does that.. also might be that you have character models displayed on the lowest setting?

Yeah - if I think what I think you mean, it's because you can't get too many characters on your screen at the same time. Go into Lower Jeuno - you aren't going to see every person standing there. It's just the way FFXI works (good idea, actually).

Yeah, it IS a good idea. Ever run through the Bazaar in Everquest? Pure murder on the lag! X_X

FYI...the geforce MX cards suck....they really use the Geforce 2 chipset. My RL friend got burned because he thought he was getting a good deal on a geforce 4 card. if I remember correctly they allso dont fully suport directX 8.

but yes...the modles only apear when they are close to you, it saves on the lag alot.
