I got a new computer, everything was running fine until I updated my MB's chipset, then FFXI stopped working. There were about a dozen things that could have gone wrong and I had to comb through and test every little thing piece by piece, but eventually I found out that one of my drivers that was working with the previous MB driver no longer works with the updated MB chipset.
In total, I was down for less then 24 hours, so it's not as big a deal as my 5boxmule Sterk is making it out to be. He's just too nice and was concerned about the other group making it back to their original server before the discount campaign is over. Grats to the group's barrel of new shinies, btw, and enjoy your trip back home.
On the plus side, one of the things I noticed was that my PSU fan stopped spinning, so I'm glad I caught that before it became an issue. The thing lasted for 7 years, so I guess I can't complain.
That's enough off topic posting for now. Back on topic
