I'm in central time zone and i got home last night at about 6:30 and could not get on! I tried many times and the download would start and then freeze or i would get POL Error 1160 or something like that. did anyone else have this problem? i know everyone on my friend list was listed as Offline and i was talking to one person in my ls and he was having the same problem. Please give me any info. I'm on Remora. I would like to get home tonight and be able to play >.< thanks ^^

don't get your hopes up about the exp change....its nice..but from what ive seen posted i will have to say this
1) no it's not easier...just faster
2) how substantial is the decrease? because whats another 3k exp if its that small of a change

personally I think the game should get harder as you go but it seems to get easier (more job abilities/ws's/magic ect ect) that speed up fights and give more exp...so i don't really care about the exp change...i dont know how they would make it harder or even have an idea..but i would like it ^^...oh ya i guess pulling you have more stuff that links? does that count..lol

I've heard those areas are already open, just most of the area is currently sealed off. This update will probably unseal the area entirely. At least, that's my guess.

Right now, only half of Al'Taieu, and one small hallway of the Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi are accessable. This update will add the rest of the Palace, the Garden of Ru'Hmet, and hopefully the rest of Al'Taieu.
Al'Taieu

To my knowledge, The grand palace of Hu'Xzu or whatever and the other area around there, are already open. I /sea all for my friend the other day and he was there.

I hope this update will include something to help out against the recent 3rd party attacks on the servers.

These new areas, are they the 'Sea' realm? (CoP version of 'Sky') that are supposed to be activated after a certain point in the Promathia storyline?

Forgive me if those zones are already available, I'm nto that far into Promathia yet ; ;

Sea refers to Al'Taieu. Having not even beating the proms yet, I haven't been there so I don't know the reasoning behind this. The palace is supposed to be opening up in them update.

Technically, Sea refers to the region Lumoria. Al'Taieu is one of the zones in that region.

If this is true about the XP change then I'll be a very happy person. As I get older, the amount of time I can devote to Vana'Diel shrinks more and more each week. So my hopes to reach 75 might become a reality.

On the flip side I think this makes it really unfair to those who have made it to 75 in the games original difficulty. Many props to them and I hope SE does something to accomodate you.

Here are a few of the changes that are going to be made:

-new fish (fresh and saltwater)

- Fishing Monsters
When a monster is caught, only the player who reeled it in (and his/her party or alliance) will be able to attack it (the monster's name will be displayed in red/purple).

-you will be able to change mannequin poses

-new equipment and synthesis recipes

-area reservation and being able to change rules in Ballista

-the imfamous experience changes

-new areas, which can be seen here.
