vanadiel Year 1000 june 30 (merged)

[Ayrlie]

Shortly after midnight CDT on June 30 Vana'diel will hit the year 1000. It starts on 12:24 AM CDT. What are your special plans to celebrate this milestone?

[Plight]

Run up the highest bar tab the Merry Minstrel's ever seen . . . then skip town for the next thousand years.

[MisterCookie]

I think we should all organize a massive in game celebration. How about fireworks spam in Sarutabaruta on Starfall Hillock?

[Mog]

wow, how cool. I wonder if there are going to be fireworks in jeuno.

/breaks out the champaigne

Champaigne, anyone? :)

[Fayttt]

Someone told me a long time ago that the years reset after 600 something O.o..I guess he was wrong heh. Be nice if SE did something.

*An issue which has been causing all the in-game text to refer to events 20 years ago for the past several in-game decades has been addressed by resetting the in-game clock.

:biggrin:

Because why change the dialouge of hundreds of NPCs if we can just turn back time? Mwahahahaha...erm...Excuse us. We usually hold the maniacal laughter back until you guys aren't listening anymore.

Mwah.

[DrivenTooFar]

I'm gonna run around and tell everyone how great they look even though they're 1000 years old.

The person who says it resets after 600 was obviously lying, the game was well into the 800s at least when it started. I beleive when I started it was in the 930s..

If the game were set in the 600s, we'd be *before* the shadow war...

[Kikku]

beat Maat's ass down!!
and i mean all the way down

[Myaku]

I'm gonna party like it's 999! Who hooo!!!! :wasted:

Oh no! Vana'diel isn't Y1K compliant!

/em starts hording distilled water!

[Jugil]

I foresee one of two scenarios:



1.) Due to the failure of SE to anticipate Y1K, all software was written using only the last two digits of the year. Thus, when the year dings 1000, all player gil will be reset to zero, inevitably resulting in an AH crash.



Jeuno will be barren, and overrun with rabid tigers watering at the mouth in search of unsuspecting taru. Players will resort to scouring the post-apocalyptic wastelands of Vanadiel for food and shelter.



Militias headed by warlords will spring up in the outer reaches of the world in the absence of government. These warlords will control all access to provisions and shelter as they battle to the death with eachother over territory.



In time, the dominant warlord will control all of Vanadiel, and reign with an iron fist.



Or.. 2.)

We’ll have to deal with a few drunk and unruly moogles :P

[Murphie]

Well, I hope to god it's number 1 then. Those moogles get rowdy.

[Ryddr]

Indeed. Not to mention, #1 sounds like paradise. :rolleyes:

[Atma]

Lo, the end times cometh, temper your steel for the world shall end in the year 1,000.

I'll be sitting in my MH with my 2 year supply of meat mithkabobs and squid sushi... suckers.

[fastcart]

I fear airships will cease working due to the Y1K bug. Cid should have foreseen this!

About 2.5 months ago, I thought about doing a special FFXIO event/thingy to commemorate Y1K. But, it was forgotten and I was lame. Oh well.

I did send a suggestion to SE to make an event for it though. It was when TAU was just released so it was probably forgotten/ignored.

[Atma]

They should send us all leather jerkins with "I survived Y1k and all I got was this crappy T-shirt" written on them.

[Tirrock]

Jugil's post was awesome.

They should send us all leather jerkins with "I survived Y1k and all I got was this crappy T-shirt" written on them.
I foresee a future dat mod...

[Mhurron]

I'll do the same thing I do every day.

/It was everything I thought it could be

Hey, at least this would rid us of the RMT problems on all servers... <.<;;;; Then again, it would likely just create more in the aftermath. :rolleyes:

[Ayrlie]

bad news is that i won't be online to celebrate - i'll be on vacation down in florida with family in key west. my brother is stationed there on navy business.

[Avenius]

Aw, I'll be at the Roskilde festival at that time.. Oh well. I hope SE decides to make at least a small event.

[Darkhound]

I think SE will do a little event, I hope something nice goes on and that we are in for a big surprise!

[Alexiel]

I could see it as everything goes back 1000 years. o.o Reminds me of the War of the Magi kind of in FFVI. o.o

"1000 years ago during the War of the Magi, two so-called Atma Weapons exsisted. One changed a persons power into a sword. The other was a monster bred for mass destruction."

<3 Atma Weapon hehehe

Or we just deal with a couple drunk moogles. o.o

[ikkleste]

i'm guessing they might tie it into summerfest?...

[Shykin]

Ewww summerfest is boring.
Don't be like summerfest Don't be like summerfest Don't be like summerfest

[McBride]

Hey, don't knock Summerfest. 2004's was my favorite event in FFXI ever.

If you mean last year's though, yeah, it was pretty lame in comparison.

[MisterCookie]

2004 was awesome, I have no idea why they changed it in 2005. I missed out on the part where they capped your job at lvl 1 and warped you off to some random dungeon. I had to do my advanced job quests instead

[Feba]

Summerfest owns.


That gay summer starbreeze or whatever the hell they called it last year sucked.

2004 FTMFW.

RAWR!! >_>

....back on topic... I would say only [GM]Dave would really celebrate and he would:

A) Send everyone to jormy to get eaten.
B) Ban everyone.
3) Take a leak on SE's computers because he had too much to drink. ("Hey guys, your server isn't flushing....lolz!")

[Jkid]

When Y1K occurs, this will happen:

A) A special secret celebration by SE or
B) Nothing special will happen.

[Draco Dagon]

I foresee one of two scenarios:



1.) Due to the failure of SE to anticipate Y1K, all software was written using only the last two digits of the year. Thus, when the year dings 1000, all player gil will be reset to zero, inevitably resulting in an AH crash.

Let's pray #1 happens, being an adventurer that looks like fun!



As for the Summerfest '05, wasn't that with the swimsuits?

[Dragonly]

We'll soon be in the year 1000 of the Crystal Era(In 3 days on June 30 1:40 am EST(estimate)) . Do you hope those crazy Moogles will do something?

[Raydeus]

While you are there wondering about the celebration I'll be stocking up on water and other supplies.

And I already have a place secured in Newton Movalpolos where I'll be safe and sound while you guys get killed by a (Meteo XXV) :P

[silentsteel]

For all those that are on Midy that want to celebrate, I've got the Kokba Hostel reserved for the time that the new millenium is, Send me a tell if you want the password when its open ^^b

[Matera]

I'll be at a graduation party when it happens. :)

[Rai]

what I think will happen, 4 GMs will appear on each server they will be the harbingers of the apocalypse. They will battle the players openly in the streets of the cities. Only after they are beaten into submission with they then turn to do the bidding of the players and smite the RMTs.

The apocalypse cometh! Everyone, hide under chairs and pray for mercy!

[Kenki]

I think there will be something really dramatic:

*Due to the event of Y1K, players will no longer beable to access any Moggle.*

Just imagine what you would do without your moggle?

[Fayttt]

I'd shoot myself if I didnt have my precious moogle! ;;

[Mog]

I feel so appreciated! ^.^ To think, your lives hang in the balance!

[Kadenmire]

OH MY GOD!!! The Y1K bug is gonna get us quick where can I buy large quantitys of spam and refride beens!!!:shocked::shocked:

/em runs screaming for moogle bomb shelter.

[Cometgreen]

Heh, I hoped to get my computer back in time to be there for Y1k, and I thought it'd be fine if it arrives on June 30. I forgot that the year change was in the early morning of June 30, not the night. And just when I realized that, vanaNavi said it was 1000.01.01.

Happy Year 1000 everyone. Did anything cool happen?

[McBride]

Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.

Oh, and happy new millenium.

[Cometgreen]

Ha ha, suckers.

[Aksannyi]

Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.

Oh, and happy new millenium. Well a bunch of people shouted, "Happy New Year ... " :)

[Journ]

For stuff like this you had to make your own fun. There was a guy in Bastok Markets that was using up his fireworks like crazy, and some people were /shouting "Happy New Year" and stuff like that.

One player said that King Ranperre didn't rise from his tomb and Windurst didn't bomb Bastok so the doomsayers were all wrong.

I tried to keep it going by saying that I should've gone to Jeuno, that Cid had built this giant metal ball and was going to drop it from the Ru'Lude Gardens.

And I found out my imported Japanese Hori Vana'diel Clock is Y1K compliant.

Oh well, for what it's worth, Happy New Year everybody.

At least tonight [GM]Dave knocking back the whiskey. More so.

[Aksannyi]

Did [GM]Dave have a New Year's celebration with Jormy? I would hate to see your dragon friend get left out of the festivities. Something like he gets fed 1000 idiots to commemorate the 1000th year of Vana'diel. :)

[Yagami Kunoichi]

I thought they'd at least have some little special effect or something in the sky, or a global message, yanno?

[Kadenmire]

/em pokes head out of moogle bomb shelter.

Hunh its not the end of civilization? Damn what Am I supposed to do with all this spam and refride beens!!!!:vent:

[little ninja]

I think there will be something really dramatic:

*Due to the event of Y1K, players will no longer beable to access any Moggle.*

Just imagine what you would do without your moggle?

lol mines a treasure chest, that i keep stubbing my toes on.

[Randa_The_Kitsune]

Me? I celebrated by running therw windy without armor on shouting happy new year and shooting off fireworks. its was fun XD

[Aksannyi]

Well, now that I think of it, my celebration was casting Teleport-Yhoat for the first time on a few people who were shouting for it. So I rung in the new year with a port, go me! (Maybe I was even the first teleport of the millennium? Who knows!)

[Drive]

well i'm still camping Bo'Who Warmonger without knowing his ToD....so yay

[Journ]

Here's what [GM]Dave had to say about the millenium:

http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006/06/its-end-of-world.html

[Nimrod4154]

Was there a celebration by SE?

[Aksannyi]

Was there a celebration by SE? No ... 'twas lame.

Although I also noticed that there was a full moon on the night of the new year ... thought that was kind of a coincidence.

[Kadenmire]

Was there a celebration by SE?

No not even a note to show its passing.:vent:

[Dymlos]

Sadly I won't be doing anything since I'll be asleep because I have work in the morning. I don't expect SE to do a thing about the new millenia because they don't pay attention to such little details that only the gamers pay attention to.

[Cometgreen]

Yeah, you don't have to worry Dymlos; you won't miss anything tonight.
