We haven't discussed this in awhile but I wanted to check in with you guys to gauge interest. I was talking to DS and he showed interest. I have several servers running in my house right now and it wouldn't be that difficult to add a virtual machine or even a docker container running a private XI server. Who still cares? I've been looking at the DarkStarProject FFXI server emulator. My Reference: github.com/kcrawley/ffxi-darkstar-dockergithub.com/DarkstarProject/darkstarwiki.dspt.info/index.php/Main_PageALTERNATIVELY, There is a good public server www.supernovaffxi.com/faq that is already available for free-to-use access. I really like the thought and challenge of setting up our own but then we have the issue of players. There's only a very few of us and not all would play consistently or at the same time and nobody wants to play in a dead world. Thoughts?

You know I'm DTF! I would absolutely prefer our very own server, but if we we were unable to get enough players, I would be content with joining another. With all of the friends you have made playing through the years, I bet you could garner some interest.

With all of the friends you have made playing through the years, I bet you could garner some interest. Nobody else huh? I've been working on it in my spare time. I have the server machine setup. The server code is compiled successfully. I haven't gotten around to configuring it for connection yet. Did encounter an issue that seems to mandate a static IP address (which I have dynamic like most people, though perhaps I can get away with a hostname and dyndns...) but that's a problem for another day and won't stop any testing. I don't expect base configuration to take too long but just haven't found the time yet and seeing as how there hasn't been much of a response I haven't had a strong desire to push it faster.

Lemme find my XI installs, I'll hit Xar on twitter and tell him to check in here. Not sure how well XI will like win 10, but I'm down to give it a shot.

I'd love to play with the O.Gs again. Any chance to play XI again with my brothers would be awesome. Especially without having to pay a sub, lol So put my name down on the YES list. My PC is currently at the doctors getting fixed (video card died, entire system is under warranty so sent away for a free fix ). Should be back up and running in a week or so ish Edit: I'm also currently unemployed, so I have nothing else to do.

Awesome! Kealoha and Feint are also interested in trying it out. That puts us at 7.
I'm hoping to have some time early this week to get the server software up and running and do first logins!

Do you have access to everyones email who registered here?
Maybe send out a mass email saying yo dudes. Most are probably inactive at this point but it wouldnt hurt to try.

Probably should have stuck to a Ubuntu VM to build this. Oh well. I had some issues with the docker package and decided to just go with default instructions. Edit: Updating my client to connect! -- wiki.dspt.info/index.php/Configuring_Your_Client

First Connect! Edit: Damn. I got into the main screen and it booted me saying that I had to do an update. Again. Fuckers.

Well yeah, I wasn't implying do it yesterday Ya, I'm just a little concerned with a lack of knowledge of what the state of the world will be to start. Whether there will even be any quests loaded and event stuff accessible or do I have to find and implement that separately? I've been prioritizing my free time in getting it up and running rather than reading the online literature so I don't really know what all the package comes with. lol. Here's hoping it won't be a blank slate. I'll know soon enough! Edit: So I had some downtime while doing this update and decided to a quick look at what comes with the server out of the box. It's a bit limited but it seems to be a good chunk of content. Check it out: wiki.dspt.info/index.php/What_WorksEdit 2: The latest update broke version compatibility with my server. I have to recompile a new version but I'm done for the night.
