ffxi with dial up
ok i just moved 3k miles away to a new town and they have lol internet up here as of right now im forced to either play with dial up or wait i use to have dsl at like 10mbps and xi worked great and i can get 12mbps here but i got to wait so question is can i play xi on 1.5mbps dial up??? please help
Dial up works, just don't expect to outclaim anyone. Game can run on 56K dial up.
I don't play on dialup, however I am at ~1-2mbps, because my dad downloads 50 porn torrents incessantly. It takes some getting used to. Kinda shitty on WHM when lives are on the line.
I played FFXI for over a year on dial-up. Not even 56k dial-up, but phone lines so old the max speed was about 12k dial-up, and FFXI worked just as well as it does on highspeed. Of course I play on ps2 so I think that makes a little difference, but you have to keep in mind that the game is not limited so much by your internet capabilities but by the SE servers bandwidth.
Works fine, just have fun waiting for the updates. :P

The game uses very small data transfers (Those numbers at the top right of your screen? Those are bytes being sent and received). So while it is a true test of patience to update the game on dial-up, playing it is perfectly fine.
1.5mb/s should do fine, just don't open up youtube or something like that.
The game runs at 56k I believe. The data the game uses is very small. It was designed with dial-up in mind.
Minimum specs: Quote: Windows 98/98SE/Me/2000/XP Pentium 4 128MB RAM DirectX 8.1 GeForce 3 Sound Card 32X CD-ROM Drive 4.5GB Disk Space 56K modem sweet thats what i like to hear i play on xbox 3shitty so will prob take a while to update when i get back on but i dont plan on keeping dial up unless it works fine but we shall see thanks
It will take absolutely forever to update. Have fun with that, I just went to my community college and downloaded the updates from BG onto my flash drive. :P PC player.
i should have asked ahead of time but if and when i do get dsl again how much mbps should i get they have like 3,7,12,+? and at most use would be me and my g/f playing xi at same time ^^

I played FFXI on dial up when it was first launched for PC. It really wasn't that bad... except for updates. Leave it on all night and hope no one picks up the phone!
i got a cellphone andd dont plan on buying a house phone so no worries there ^^
