Hey Final Fantasy XI Party Peoples!

I just bought the game tonight, and about to install it. What server do I need to get one to be able to play with you ultra-cool peeps?

edit: WOW this manual is gi-normous! Is any of it required reading?

There are a few of us on the Odin server, did you know about the trick for finding the server that you want?

Yikes, a trick? I dont get to pick? I guess I dont know any trick... So how does it work?

I really really really want to buy this game after my friend Mike described this game to me. How much is it going for now?

I paid 50 for it. Also I am really ticked off right now. The stupid install CD doesnt work! I cant install the game! ARRRGH!

So I wasted an hour and a half exchanging the game at walmart (my location isnt lying. It takes that long to get to town and back) and this one seems to be working right. Its actually installing now!

So... want to fill me in on this "trick"?

I am really getting upset with this game. Once it finally installed and downloaded the 3 hours of updates, when I tried to play it, the character creation screen was black! I could hear the music, and when I move the mouse around I can tell I am moving over buttons, but I cant see anything! I noticed it said to make sure Rise of Zilart is registered or it might not run right so I uninstalled Zilart because it never asked me to register, hoping I just missed it in the process. Well it installed again and never asked me to register. Now its downloading the 3 hours of updated again! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! This stupid thing had better work this time!
