FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

the funny thing about those though?

the old linkshell (site) usually doesn't recover it's former glory after that happens.

(of course the new one doesn't always succeed either. but I've had some good runs making splinter shells and it can work if you actually deal with fixing what the real problems were; donated servers and unlimited bandwidth will go a long way.)

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

What I'm referring to is the communications where they are being instructed how to spin the situation. Though I do admit that it's entirely possible things could have been omitted.

And, exactly, with the HNMLS analogy. It's a very similar situation.

GOD DAMNITT! This makes me angry!!
I use that site nearly every day to check up on info about chocobo raising, and to sometimes pop back to check the equipment lists for for all the AF jobs too! They all have nice little pictures beside them of NPCs wearing the stuff, so would make it very easy to see what you would be expecting to wear ingame!!
But the choco raising one though.... thats the most important part for me on that site!! And now some stupid, idiotic ass hole hakkers have come along and really messed things up!! GRRRRR!!
Where on earth am I going to search for my choco info now?!
I found some of the info on that site to be quite unique too.
For e.g. it would list all the greens you could use to raise choco affection, (and other things which make that site unique like that too) and it would tell you so! I don't think I could find info like that anywhere else!!
DAMNED STUPID HAKKERS!
Anyone got any ideas if this site is going to ber sorted out in some way?
I'd LOVE to have it back again!

it'll be fine in a few days. the pages were going to be up and down during the move anyway. the only thing in there that got 'hacked' was the main page anyway. I figure the rest is due to damage control and the upcoming move.

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

Did you even read the stuff Taj posted? They weren't waiting to "sort things out" they were waiting to "find the right story to spin" in order to cover their asses.

Its easy to say that, though. But this is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

You could just as easily say that Taj left out a lot of details and highlighted information that suited his cause. There a three-four month gap between where he started in December 2006 and March 2007. That's a rather important amount of time. I can't think with all the goings-on that nothing happened for such a large amount of time, given how aggressive Wikia seemed on making a deal with these guys.

We can assume Ganiman just repeatedly denied offers in this period, but that's just assuming for assumption's sake. A story of roughly three months is missing there nonetheless.

What this all amounts to, though is an HNMLS split on the community level. One will retain its name and the others will make "newer and much more awesome" sites that will either really be no different or have other problems.

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

Exactly, Omni. Like Mhurron (and others) I haven't been back to Alla. I know they aren't even owned by the company that once owned IGE anymore, but I still don't care. I didn't like the way things went down, and I haven't been back. They haven't gotten any more of my money, and I don't suggest it to players seeking information. Ever.

It's kind of like me and Starbucks. I used to live there. Then they started doing stupid stuff I didn't care for. So I stopped going, and now I visit locally owned coffee houses where I pay less and get better coffee anyway. They aren't as convenient, but I feel better knowing that I'm not personally contributing to the success of Starbucks.

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

The thing i liked about wiki was that they gave real world definitions to a lot of the names and ideas in ffxi. Other than that, you can find everything else you need on somepage or good ol mysterytour~

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

no.... Taj hacked, end of story, if I could prove anything I would turn him in myself.

That wasn't what I was referring to. If he hacked, end of story, then the info is real, no? But if you don't trust anything from a hacker, then he didn't hack?

people really should just get over this already

Hello, pot.

the site is going no where, "boycotting" it is plain stupid...... and why deny yuorself a place with good info, just because of a little BS that happened, because a hacker did not want to keep his head out of places it should not be.

Because you can find the information elsewhere without having to rely on a site with practices you don't agree with. That's the beauty of individual choice.

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

I don't trust anything that comes from a hacker.

You might need to stop using the internet and computers in general.

You'd think we weren't able to get by perfectly fine for years before the Wiki came along

I was a RDM/WAR before ffxiclopedia.

I also like ffxi.sompages craft synth listings. The wiki had better NM, mission and quest details.

"boycotting" it is plain stupid......

Then don't do it, but personally I haven't been back to alla and there's a good chance I'll find other sources for what wiki had good info on.

There's reasonable doubt, and then there's things like this.

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

I think sompage.com got lazy and added the comment sections. I used to use it a lot. Now I barely go to it.

Re: FFXI Wiki.. hacked?

I personally like ffxi.somepage.com

They have better food and gear searches and skill limits pages.
