Re: LS Community beta launch! (29/6/06)

Can I just say that I LOVE being able to search levels, ranks, and crafting skills? It will make things SO much easier if you need to find help with anything. I set me LS up, but so far I am the only one.

Re: LS Community beta launch! (29/6/06)

The leader of our last LS had to quit the game last week so time timing of this could not be any better for me. This looks like a fine way of setting up community events and keeping tabs on who needs help with quests ect.


Now lets just hope they don't keep tabs on who is logged into the community and game at the same time
And I have a pearl sack and I was able to set my self up as a (super evil) Adm (that was going to happen anyways) the only thing I kinda dislike is there can only be 3 Adm in the group.

Thing about that is that there are people who have a laptop they use for checking info and (presumibly) traversing the LS communities while they are also playing. I think you are safe, M'dear

Didnt have master pearl on earlier, but logged on to put it on and the system still refuses to update ; ; any idea if I need to do anything else to get it to recognize my master pearl?

The site says it can take a day to synchronize data between the game and the site. Also looks like they might be having problems right now so give it a bit. When I look at things I get a 'Server is busy' message.

Re: LS Community beta launch! (29/6/06)

this is to be expected on the day of launch.

Out of curiousity, FFXI was down for practically a month after release, right? (I'm hoping one of the early importers here would know)

Anyway, it seems to be working stable, for me at least.

Double Post Edited:
also, from looking at the message board, it looks like it's designed more after a JP bbs than the kind most NA use.

Working fine for me too. Except that my LS still isn't setup. :/

Re: LS Community beta launch! (29/6/06)

hmmmmm

I'm not feeling too safe putting my POL ID and password onto a website ; ;

I still want to know why SE hasn't implemented a separate User name and password for Friend list Plus, and now this.

Typing your POL ID on a daily basis scares the hell out of me (That's why I've only used the F. List plus only a few times).

Uh, why?

Re: LS Community beta launch! (29/6/06)

I use the Friendslist Plus almost daily. I haven't had a single problem with it at all. Shows that it's secure, and when at home I checked all the network traffic, it has me convinced it's as safe as any other web mail service. I didn't flinch at the idea. Now, I'm trying to find a way for us to tie the new PlayOnline community information, with my LS's existing webpage. Would be nice to have all those stats updated like that. Hopefully it will eventually show merits. That would be sweet!

I think this is due to in other mmorps players have had there player files hacked into.

This is not the same thing but I can still understand some people being paranoid about it, but remember every time you log in that info gets sent over the Internet anyways.
But I could use that 500 bucks

Re: LS Community beta launch! (29/6/06)

Because of keyloggers, I usually use a separate computer to access the internet at work and another to play at home, or shop online. That way even if I get a keylogger somehow my passwords and information are safe.

What would happen if someone hacked an info site like mysterytour, or bugged an ad like it happened a couple of times in Alla, and while looking for info get a spyware. Then, after I leave the page I decide to look at my friend list.

Using a different Username and password would only mean the hacker would only have access to my friend list. But if I type my POL ID and password that would mean they would have access to my acount, next you'd see my character selling all his gear and speaking some weird language...

You would probably never know. Anyway, if you have a keylogger on your system two things has already happened:

-Your security has been compromised and probably sucked to begin with.
-They have access to far more important things then your POL ID.

There's being careful then there's baseless paranoia. Being scared that you use one ID for all POL services is the latter, and baseless paranoia never leads to a secure system.

Something strange happened, while I was browsing that website and i tried to click a "submit" button, all of a sudden HUNDERS of firefox intances were open in a matter of seconds! This webite is super super buggy! Anyone had anything similar?
