Hey, I was just bsing with my LS like we all do during our time in FFXI. I'm pretty sure that this thought has occured to some of you guys before. While joking around we thought that it'd be funny if we one of the nations could manage to takeover another nation's home region. Oh how I want to be able to do the Outpost quest in Gustaburg/Saratuba.
So what do you say fellow San d'Orians? Make a half-assed attempt to take over Bastok's surrounding regions? There are plenty of areas for different level characters. There's Gustaburg for the lower level characters and then Korrokola Tunnels for the mid to higher level characters. One can always get their signet recast on them by their representative in Consulate located in Bastok's Metalworks?

I'll fight you to my last level 1 job! ;-P.
Crap.. I guess I need to unlock more of those.. hrm..
Still I have heard of it happening on other servers, and it sure would be a funny outpost to tele to, I know I'd snag it if it ever became available (the Sandy and Windy ones, that is).

I remember back at the NA PC release, oftentimes the Beastmen would actually have those regions. Cause after an update I'd go to the outpost to get signet and well, there was no signet... And no crystals either. But it was fun, cause you could actually level out there without 40 other people competing for the same stuff you were...
Though honestly I think if you really want to do something funny, get a ton of people to go repeatedly die in one of them, if you do it enough the beastmen will take the region ;)

The windurst home areas have been taken by Bastok several times on Ragnarok. It is a great place to level 1-10, especialy for smn, rng, bst, anything with a pet.
If great big group(50+ people) was going to go over, I'd join in. =)

Interesting...so about 50 people from the same nation could takeover another's piece of territory. Well, Christmas break is 2-3 weeks away, depending upon the person. I guess this is roll call for whoever wants to try. If we get enough people I say we do it. :D

When'd this happen? o.O
Well, if you're really doing it, I suppose I can lvl up RNG and hit the worms in Korroloka Tunnel.
I hate leveling anything around Windy... And I don't see how having a pet would make it any better...
And I don't remember one country ever having the area around anothers capitol. I do remember nobody having them, but never another nation... I think that would stick out in my memory...

Christmas break would probably be too short notice to arrange something like this. I think I will try to take part in an LS that is centered on stuff like Eco-Warrior, Garrison, Expeditionary quests. If something like that can be successful then I'm sure something like taking over another nation's home turf would be no problem. Instead of individuals, it would probably be best if a group of LSs took part. The logistics in getting people to new players to foreign nations would be such a pain in the ***.
muahahaha! ya will never take over the lands that Bastok conquered! NEVAAAAR!!!! HAHAHAHAHA.... ahem...
good luck? :)
good luck? :)
Well Dey, you KNOW I'm with you! And after we take over Bastok, Windy, you're next! :)
You know, if you really were serious about something like this, you wouldn't be posting where a good portion of the people are Bastokan. We've been keeping an eye on this thread and now that you have even posted what week you plan on doing it, our alliance of Bastokan linkshells will be out there as well.
THIS IS A CALL TO ALL BASTOKANS!!! THEY CALL IT A WASTELAND (even though we all know it has by far the best music) AND NOW THEY THINK THEY CAN JUST WALK OVER AND TAKE IT? NEVER! WE ARE NOT GOING TO STAND BY WHILE THE PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY INSULT OUR LAND NOW DECIDE THEY WANT IT!
I am encouraging you all to go and buy yourself some subligar or slops and level up a job! Bring every last Bastokan friend you have! All Bastokan black mages, go claim every last bee and goblin and quadav you can, and train them to The Fumaroles. I want to see people with ranged weapons, stealing every last mob you can before a filthy San d'Orian hand can touch it!
We must coordinate our efforts to protect our fair mining land. The foolish elvaans think they can take our copper ores and our wild onion-toting gobbies? Never! We bled on these lands in the early days, sacrificing our lives to the insufferable quadavs, ornery sheep, vultures, and that one evil goblin digger up on Vomp Hill that I'm sure we are all familiar with. We cannot sit idly by while the snooty elvaans earn the ability to teleport to OUR outpost. We must protect our land at all costs! Whatever your plans were for this holiday, cancel them! There will be no holiday for Bastok this year.
To every Bastokan Linkshell, this is a call to arms! Coordinate your efforts with QueeniexB of the DigitalBackSpin Linkshell and together we will save our beautiful Gustaberg from the snooty, croissont-eating frenc... er elvaans!
Disclaimer: Whoever decides to take this too far and get all pissy, since I know someone will, it's all in good fun and you need to get a life.

/em whips out the platinum card!
lets see how many mules one account can have....... and how fast I can get them all to 10 in every job shall we?
In fact...while I'm at it.. I think I'll use a second card to make as many sandy mules.... and die as often as possible right out side the gates....
Even better.... I have a couple of sandy mules at level 5 in a couple of jobs..wonder how fast I can get them back to 1.

I seem to remember that the plural for Elvaan is Elvaan. Not Elvaans. Like Gil. Or moose.

Cliche my dear, I would gladly fund your allegiance change and donate several stacks of crystals while taking you on all your missions. Too bad you have a "Windurstians only" linkshell, but when they kick you out for defecting, I would get to see you on mine more often.

I was giving this some thought and spreading racial/national strife was not my goal. I just wanted to be able to Outpost teleport to Bastok and to Windy. After realizing that there are members in my LS of all nations and that not all would be able to participate in this conquest I've revised my thoughts on this matter.
It would be more prudent to arrange a round robin of simultaneous takeovers of each other's homelands. Wouldn't it make life alot easier for all if we could Outpost teleport to each other's homelands? Teleports to crags require us to grab a chocobo to the major cities and at certain times the prices can be ridiculous. Not everyone has an airship pass and sometimes I'm impatient. My home point isn't always set in my home city. There are lots of ways to get home, why not add one more?
I know a few members of the NeoAdHoc LS would be willing to help out in takeover bids for each other's nations. So I say during this month we try to do it this way. San d'Oria takes over Bastok; Bastok takes over Windy; Windy takes over San d'Oria.
There's still alot of problems with this though...I'm sure I'm wrong on this, but Sandy and Windy don't have too many places for mid to higher level players to level without taking on a new job. Bastok offers alot for lower to mid level players to level without changing jobs. Anyone got any good ideas?

As lovely a thought as that is, and it has crossed my mind as well, it would require full cooperation from everyone (or at least a huge amount of people) on this server. And while we sleep, the Japanese will log on, see that Bastok is starting to take over their precious Sarutabaruta, and not reading these boards, they will promptly proceed to reclaim it. I personally would love the opportunity to teleport to Sarutabaruta so that I can make the most of my fishing imagery without having to set my HP in Bastok. If you can get something that big organized, more power to you. It would require major promotion and a whole lot of trust. Good luck. :D

I was thinking about the Japanese issue...maybe it could be done. I don't speak Japanese and I'm not sure whether my sister can communicate something that complex. If anyone knows anyone with decent Japanese who can help get this through, we can post this on the POL server message board, though I'm not sure as to how many people actually read it.
