I just finished downloading the COP patch through the use of HTTP tunnel. I am gonna see if I can get the game to connect.

I have been able to see the ffxi shortcut crystal in POL before by going about things normally... It's too laggy to do much after, especially since it took an hour to download the latest file list thing.

I was able to log into my characters through HTTP tunnel, but the bandwidth limitations make me play like a laggy noob. My plants are OK. Looks like my first tree cutting is about to be harvestable soon.

I just wanna update for everyone what i heard at work today (I work at a videogame store and this is pretty reliable). A regular customer who is also an avid FFXI player with whom i discuss the game, came in upset about the ordeal as well. He is in networking for a living and has friends who work for OO as techs. He called them personally and they said OO was making ppl work thru last night on the problem and they didn't even realize how much of their customer base played this game. Apparently a large percentage of the game's NE american players are OO users and they heard fromm A LOT of them yesterday. I know this guy and his word is good as gold so yes they are working on it if that is any consolation. But then again i guess fixing it would be better consolation ><

Do you know of any other ISPs in this area that can provide better service. Because this problem you are having with POL/Final Fantasy (I know you know what I am talking about) should not be taking this long to fix. I pay money so that I have adequit service, but the service that I am recieving from you people is pitiful. So since you obviously know about your competion I was wondering if you could possibly refer me to another company so that i can get a little better service, and not some idiot leading me on feeding me a line of crap.


This is a e-mail I just sent OO.

All customer service for any company generally isn't very helpul ^^;; The people you are complaining too, speaking from past experiences, know little to nothing about the problem.

It almost seems like some of you are ready to take tourches over to opt online o.O Yes, we're frustrated we can't play, yes it sucks, but cursing off people or posting page after page of complaints and rumors isn't going to bring back the game right away.

Guess we should all just sit tight and have faith that opt online is doing what they're saying they're doing.

/comfort Sebuku

I'm only 2000 exp from hitting 40, and I was supposed to start BCNM 40 and 30 runs with my LS last night so I could make money to put towards my Monster Signa. >.< Heh, the only comforting thing is knowing that they've been horribly unsuccessful (both with deaths and bad drops), so I feel a tiny bit better.

My boyfriend is logging ontomy account once a day to keep my plants from dying (he uses Comcast, the *******).

i dont know about you, but i had faith that optimum online would supply me with a reliable internet service that i could play my FFXI in peace... unfortunatly they screwed up. thats not even it... they CONTINUE to ***** up by spreading false info to cover their asses and by not handling the situation. as previously said, it shouldnt take this long to solve this problem.

EDIT: also ******** and moaning takes up the void in time that we all have right now

Ok, its not very helpful, but I'll add my customer service experience. I connected to Optimum Online through their online chat mode and spoke to a Tech. He said they are aware of the problem, then he asked me if he could connect directly to my computer to run some tests.
He went to the command prompt, did a few pings on POL and FFXI a few traces and some other stuff (even being fairly computer savvy, I didnt understand everything). Well all being said and done, It had no problem connecting to POL or FFXI servers. He said that there was no problem and I should be able to connect. It appears that they are just as confused as us.
Not very helpful but he said that everyone who connected to them online who let them run tests on their pc (even though I use PS2) they can take that info they received from the pings, traces, etc. and go to Sony with them and try to figure out a workaround. Which they are already in the process of doing, but i guess if others did it, more data for them couldnt hurt

If anyone knows anyone that works up in the upper tiers of techsupport, perhaps having them witness what POL and FFXI actually does may accelerate the process. I am sure anyone that has the game working there is smart enough to figure out that's the fastest way to solve things.

Just hold out until Verizon FIOS fiber optic internet comes out guys. 5 to 15 times the speed for less money than OO. Ill be RUBBING it in OO's face when I call them to cancel so I can make the switch.
I work for a corporation and get to talk man to man with the verizon techs... FIOS will be the demise of OO, and cablevision better either drop prices, or match performance... LOL

i just drove over to my friend's house with my laptop and tried to connect to FFXI from his OOL connection... no go

see the thing that is pissing me off even more now, is the fact he can connect to both counter-strike and lineage 2

I just bought a really long Telephone cord lolol and connected via modem. all i have to say is wow. connection is just as good if not better than OO. OO serisouly screwed up somewhere but. dial up is the way to go right now if you want to play. and ***** at OO at the same time. I signed up with Metconnect.com with free dial up. 212 number. Dial up is pretty good for this game. ^.^

I'm not saying I'm satisfied with opt online, but they are the fastest most reliable connection in my area out of all the others I have tried.

yea i heard that the FIOS is supposed to be amazingly sick. i got in an hour long conversation with a verizon guy on the street about how it is gonna bankrupt cablevision and their gay *** cable connection.... he also said that they were trying to make an "IO type" digital TV system. so cablevision will be screwed eventually.

Looks like I haven't missed much since I've been in class.

I love OptOnline's speed, but this is just rediculous. Whatever they did, they should just undo. But apparently it's a bit more then that.


Guess I'll go beat up some cute Nintendo characters in the meantime.
