Green and Yellow Badge next to players name.
I've played FFXI for along time and i have never seen this before what is the yellow/green badge next to a person's name? i just noticed this going through Windurst Woods. Some Taru was running by with it next to his name like a linkshell.
Did it look like the tail of an arrow, half yellow half green? If so, it's a 'trial adventurer'.
edit: like this? ![]() I thought it looked like a green shield with a yellow chocobo feather in the middle...
my eyes are bad ._. lol Yeah it did, Weird i never noticed them before. Thanks though :D
Stupid question inbound but what's a trial adventurer?

![]() And on wiki: ![]() That's the jp newb driver emblem lol love seeing that on the streets makes me laugh but to see se incorp it into the game now that's pure jokes lol
when did they do that? it used to be a ? mark.

Actually if you see these characters with the icon, it means the character is being played from a Japanese Internet cafe and as Murdock mentioned it's used to promote the game (let people play for free for a while to see how it's like).
back when blu and cor and ToA was being promoted, SE had playable characters roaming around in (forgot server name) Altepa Desert for demo play at Comic Con, and the had these icons.
these charas had that icon, where gimped as heck lol and had /anon on. I got scolded cause I took anon off and started /shouting and /waving at people :x I saw this symbol for the first time this weekend on a couple of characters and was surprised aswell... had no idea this existed.
So are they promoting the game again? :o
... (they ever did?) I saw it the other day too, I wonder why/where they're promoting it.
I saw it the other day just before I went to a Voidwatch event:
![]() I went up to him but after a few seconds he ran off in the opposite direction and stopped about 10-15 yalms away from me :P Lmao, you scared him!
I want that icon, I think it looks neat :(

Spotted one yesterday, btw ... (I was not aware of this thread when I took the screenshot)
![]() Codemasters (UK) once did a promotional weekend for the "Rising Force Online" MMORPG (PvP sci-fi/fantasy game) and created several high-level "trial" characters for people to try out at the particular gaming convention.
They warned everyone about it on the game official forum in the hopes no one would gank, grief, or harass these trial players--or talk about how the game was buggy or dying--as that was the kind of exact opposite view of the game the devs wanted to showcase. :p Hopefully these trial FFXI players get a good reception, too. :p |
