At 5:48 a.m. on June 26, Emery County Sheriff's Office Dispatch received a call advising that there was a fire at the south end of Candland Mountain and in the Forks of Huntington Creek. The caller advised that the fire could be seen best from the Miller's Flat area. ECSO Dispatch forwarded all information to Moab Fire Center.
Moab Fire Center dispatched units to assess and fight the fire. Initial response by the Type 4 team included a helicopter with smoke jumpers. They were placed in by the fire by helicopter. The Incident Command Post was set up at the Rolfson Campground on June 26 by the Forest Service. The fire was identified as starting at these coordinates: N39*29.60 W111*10.40. The fire was in a heavily wooded area in the Left Fork. Early in the afternoon it went down the canyon to the Forks of Huntington on SR-31. The fire went north up Candland Mountain and toward Stuart Guard Station. It jumped SR-31 and went up into Nuck Woodward. The firefighters were able to save the structures at Stuart Guard Station. The fire spread northeast towards Castle Valley Ridge, Star Point and onto Gentry Mountain into Carbon County.
Emery County Sheriff's Office, UHP and UDOT shut down SR-31 at Crandall Canyon Mine intersection which is MP 33, and also at the Emery/Sanpete County line at MP8 on SR-31. People were evacuated from the Scad Valley area, the top of Huntington Canyon and around Electric Lake. Evacuations continued with voluntary evacuation of residents in Trail Canyon. Rhino Mine is on alert and can evacuate within an hour if the fire threatens the mine property. People have been very cooperative when asked to evacuate.
It was learned that on June 25, citizens traveling through the Left Forks of Huntington Creek reported that they saw a lightning strike about 2:20 p.m. during a small thunderstorm.
Camp trailers have been removed from the area. The fire is still a threat to some cabins at the end of Candland Mountain and around Miller's Flat. On Wednesday morning, the fire sent ashes down the canyon starting a small fire near the Huntington Power Plant, which was extinguished. The fire is still a threat to Huntington Power Plant and Deer Creek Mine. Numerous power transmission lines are also being threatened.
The fire is still burning on the ridges around Stuart Guard Station and into Carbon County with very little containment.
The Eastern Arizona Incident Management Team has been called in to manage the Seely fire in Huntington Canyon.
The total number of personnel fighting the fire is 463, including eight 20-person hand crews. The location of the fire is 15 miles northwest of Huntington. There are 20 engines onsite and eight helicopters. As of July 2 there were 20,175 acres involved. The fire is 10 percent contained and the cost to date is $1,816,566. There have been no human injuries in the fire. The historical Stuart Ranger guard station at the mouth of Nuck Woodward Canyon was protected from the flames. There are cabins near Cleveland Reservoir which are approximately two miles from the flames.
Incident Commander John Philbin's Eastern Arizona Incident Management Team has taken over command of this fire, effective at 6 a.m. on June 29. Additional national resources have arrived with the Team, and more have been ordered. Extreme drought conditions, bark-beetle-killed trees, strong gusty and unpredictable winds are still driving the fire.
Full suppression strategy continues on all fronts of this fire, and structure protection measures continue to hold. Crews secured utility lines, gas lines and coal mining infrastructure within the fire perimeter.
SR-31 from Crandall Canyon Mine intersection to Miller's Flat Junction is still closed, but SR-31 is now open from Miller's Flat Junction to Fairview. The road from Miller's Flat to Joe's Valley is now open as well. SR-96 and SR-264 from SR-6 over to SR-31 and Mohrland Road to Gentry are still closed. Consumer's Road is closed at the railroad crossing. The road to Wattis is closed. Tucker and Starvation Roads off SR-6 are closed. Also various Forest Roads within the fire area are still closed.
The Incident Command Post is located at the Canyon View Junior High School in Huntington. The fire is currently burning on lands administered by the Manti-LaSal National Forest Ferron-Price Ranger District, Bureau of Land Management Price District, State of Utah, and some private lands.
A Red Cross shelter has been opened at the LDS Stake Center in Wellington, Utah for food, shelter and mental health care needs of the evacuees. Contact 801-323-7000 for information on volunteering.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said on Friday that flare-ups are occurring on Gentry and in the Left Fork area. Cattle have been spotted from the air and those appeared to be OK. It's not known the status of all the cows on the mountain and there could be cattle deaths due to the fire. Most ranchers had not taken their cattle up to the mountain yet, due to the dry conditions causing lack of feed for the herds. Ranchers in the area have been instructed to remove their herds if possible.
The tanker planes are hitting the Hiawatha area to try to knock down the flare-ups.
Sunday's Fire activity included: the line was held at Seeley Ridge on the southwest perimeter. Fire continued to burn in a big bowl at the top of Mill Canyon and increased in activity when thunderheads contributed significant downdrafts and spotted into Flood Canyon. In the early afternoon the fire in this area began to merge with fire burning north along Nuck Woodward Canyon and gained strength as winds associated with the overhead thunderheads increased. Activity in this area eventually contributed to spot fires and merged with significant increased activity along Lone Pine Tree ridge. The late afternoon fire's largest column was located at Trough Springs Ridge. Firefighters held the line at a ridge northwest of Hiawatha and the fire did not get into Hiawatha. Firefighters were able to knock down the activity in Middle Fork Canyon and complete structure protection (including installing sprinklers in some areas) in Hiawatha, Clear Creek and Valentine. Price was heavily impacted by the large smoke plume blown east over town. Night shift crews continued structure protection for the evacuated towns of Hiawatha and Clear Creek.
Monday's Weather will continue to be hot, dry and windy, with a probability of dry thunderstorms. Shifting wind patterns will carry fire in all directions, burning a lot of dry, dead, down timber, which will create large smoke columns beginning in the early afternoon.

." Cameron Diaz in Glamour Magazine. What do you think?
I think this is a cheap ploy to get clicks from The Count. Carry on though.ReplyCancel
Agree with Wiglet, as usual. Dr. Diaz, specializing in blanket statements and hater of qualifiers! Enty has been on a roll trolling us with these quotes lately!ReplyCancel
I'm straight and have never been with another woman. I get turned on by girl/girl sex, but I don't want to actually have the relations with one, so???? Yes? No?ReplyCancel
Oh, we're all friends here @Wiglet and @Lady! Answer the question! 🙂ReplyCancel
Cami & Drew were scissor sisters…nothing new.ReplyCancel
ScarJo can get it.ReplyCancel
I love my men but will make an occasional exception 😉
I don't see this being true for all women, but ALMOST all women. I have met plenty of asexuals…ReplyCancel
Agreed. Same for guys.
Lets debunk the myth.
Cam is very good at saying a sound bite when promoting her current movie. "I love porn".
Cami & Drew would openly start getting it on especially during the first Charlie's Angels.ReplyCancel
Ladies, serious question, does this get anybody's motor reving?ReplyCancel
I assume I'm just weird, every time I hear this.
In my 4 + decades, I have never even seen a woman I'd like to have sex with. I'm defective.
Broadly sweeping statements are never accurate.
(See what I did there?)ReplyCancel
Or she's testing the waters before she pulls an Anne Heche.ReplyCancel
Footage…. me want footage….ReplyCancel
NO not everyone is sexually attracted to any one thing as a sweeping generality. Nice try Cammie. Can't defend you on this one.
And why is it when guys hear that women ARE attracted to other women then they always want to start posting naked pictures of women. (Yeah I'm talking to you, Harry.)
I appreciate women probably more than other gals do but seriously, it's not always about the visual. Women just aren't like that. It seems so hard for men to comprehend.ReplyCancel
@Kristin: I didn't submit this, and I don't think it will be that active, unless someone gets drunk later tonight and tells a college dorm room story.
As far as my male opinion of the question, on the outside looking in, I'd say no. I think Cam is just trying to make herself sound hip, but is really floating it out there that, "I'm willing to do whatever to land a guy" and justifying it in her mind that ALL women think that, but she's the one cool enough to admit it.
That said, I do think there is a decent percent of chicks who enjoy fantasizing about it, but wouldn't consider actually doing another chick. Ping of curiosity, see a broad at the mall or a concert, and think, "If I did, it would be with her" then take those thoughts to the bath time shower head or get some fresh batteries. That isn't odd, chicks are way better looking than dudes.ReplyCancel
Sorry, Count. Didn't think you submitted this, just that you'd enjoy it.
here are some Kerr-boobs as a peace offering.ReplyCancel
I'm a girl and gay. Most of my friends who are girls have admitted to being attracted to girls but that doesn't mean they want to have sex with them. You can find somebody attractive without wanting to fuck. I find guys attractive all the time but would never want to sleep with them. Except Idris Elba, he's the exception.
So yeah I'd agree with Cameron (something I never thought I'd say) and I think most guys have also felt that way against over guys but again it doesn't mean you want to fuck them. Hot people are hot, enjoy it.ReplyCancel
Blanket statements are stupid and lazy. Having said that the human body is basically engineered to be bisexual. Blame God if you must.ReplyCancel
I really don't see how/why ignorant, bullsh*t, blanket statements like this are any more acceptable that saying that "All women/men are straight." It's absolutely ridiculous. (Because she has been, that naturally means that everyone else must have too??) But then, I suppose Cameron has met all women of the world and is our new self-appointed representative? She's really become insufferable since the release of her book.ReplyCancel
Professional here.
and mostly true
@Kristin: No need for a peace offering, but it was greatly appreciated. Thanks.ReplyCancel
Boobs are kind of interesting but I could never go down on a woman or kiss her on the mouth. Not sure where that leaves me…oh wait that leaves me preferring men by a large margin.
I hate when other people think they can speak for me or anyone besides themselves for that matter.ReplyCancel
This isn't a comment about anyone here. I just got done having this convo. However, I really hate it when people have their "gay test". It consists of someone who is highly insecure about their sexuality who casually throws something like this standby out there in a crowd: (man) I think two men together is gross but two women together is so hot. Am I right? (Insert loud and unusually long laugh). (Woman) Makes some dumb comment about having gay friends but thinks two women together is gross unless you're drunk on a dance floor, then it's ok. Woman proceeds to go around the group getting confirmation.
Married 20 years to a hot guy 10 years younger than me, but have had a couple of sessions with a couple of women I found very attractive. Usually after excessive amounts of wine. Hubby has no idea as it was before we were married. Still would if the opportunity presented itself. But in light of the comments here, obviously not every woman feels like I do. So Cammie's wrong. Off to make sure my blogger ID is private and change my screen name….ReplyCancel
I always tell people this as a gay test: Do you like giving oral to the opposite sex?ReplyCancel
If you don't like giving the opposite sex oral, then the likelihood of gay is very high.ReplyCancel
Count I think your test may be broken.
My indicator that someone is gay is they constantly accuse other people of being gay and ridiculing them for it. For example, this woman I work with will ask if the rest of us think such and such lady is attractive. If we answer yes she goes on and on about how she works with a bunch of lesbians, we're all secret lesbians who dream of vaginas every night and she is not gay, not one bit no siree. I will swish my coworkers hair when I walk by as a sign of affection and every time she sees me do it or I do it to her she calls me out for being a lesbian, I am so gay and only like ladies. Similar thing with guys. I know one fellow who always calls out other guys for being gay, if they high fave their other man friends he will shout to the heavens that they're both gay. Someone brushes his arm watch out, you must be gay. It's always out of nowhere and no matter what the action is, you are 100% gayo in his book. When people act like that, to me, that makes me think they are projecting their own feelings. If you can't go five minutes without accusing everyone around you of being gay I think it is time for some soul searching. At the end of they day it isn't my or anyone else's business and on one has to answer anything to anyone. But when people act like that, it makes me wonder.ReplyCancel
Hetero female here, I've never been sexually attracted to a woman. Since I live in San Francisco I'd probably have a better romantic/social life if I were open to that, but I'm not!ReplyCancel
@JSierra, couldn't agree more. It's a "doth protest too much" convention. I once knew a woman who said that women who hug each other had latent lesbian tendencies. I said, CRAP, so the next time I hug my sister, I need to see a shrink to examine my inner Cersei Lannister? :/ReplyCancel
i've never really been attracted to other women, but i've dated a girl for awhile, and messed around with other women, and have been in love with girls.
but i consider myself hetero because most of my attraction to women is either purely aesthetic or emotional for the person, not their physical being or gender.ReplyCancel
@JSierra You poor kid. Office life sucks when you have to work with jerks like that. It won't be forever.ReplyCancel
@JSierra: I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I too feel annoyed for you. People like that can be emotional vampires because they don't know how to handle what they're feeling.ReplyCancel

As you all know, Beatrix Potter (1866-1943), was an English children's book author and illustrator, primarily. She was also a farmer, a conservationist, and a natural explorer fascinated by science and the wonders of the natural world around her, be they flora or fauna.
From a very early age, Potter took to the outdoor world like a fish to water, rambling the countryside, woods and waterways near her home whenever she could. She was a lonely child. Her younger brother Bertram was sent away to boarding school, and Potter had few friends. As well, the lion's share of her upbringing was seen to by various servants, nannies and governesses. Most days, Potter would only see her parents at bedtime, though they spent time together as a family on special occasions.
Perhaps it was this loneliness and isolation that was the catalyst for Potter's imagination and devotion to nature. Necessity is the mother of invention, and Potter's few social interactions resulted in her creating an imaginary world of friends inside herself, for amusement and to keep herself company. Her most iconic character, Peter Rabbit (more famous than his siblings Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail) was named for a real-life beloved pet that Potter used to bring along for adventures on a leash. This sense of isolation and longing to belong may also contribute to the enormous popularity with children of Potter's stories - the wonder, delight and magic in the tales are accompanied by a real understanding of the wistfulness and loneliness that colour the experience of being little.
As an adult, Potter's fascination with nature and science led her to attempt a career in mycology – the study of fungus. But her lack of official credentials - and mostly, her gender – kept her from being able to pursue the field.
The spark for The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Potter's first and arguably most famous story, was ignited in 1893 when Potter wrote a letter to Noel Moore, the ill child of her former governess. To entertain the boy, Potter wrote a letter about four bunny rabbits – Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter, and their mother. She illustrated the letter with sketches. The little boy was delighted, and wanted more stories.
The first adult to actively encourage Potter's drawing hobby was Anglican vicar Hardwicke Rawnsley, who her family met on summer holidays to Scotland and the Lake District. Besides being a vicar, Rawnsley was also a poet and co-founder of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, and he recognised Potter's talent and flair for art.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was officially published in 1902, and was an instant winner. The next two books Potter put out – The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin and The Tailor of Gloucester – had also begun as illustrated letters to Noel Moore and his siblings.
While writing and illustration continued to be important parts of Potter's life, as her adulthood progressed, her love of nature and animals took over. Once she had a comfortable nest-egg from her books, Potter bought Hill Top, a farm in Sawrey, Cumbria in 1903 with income from her first published books.
She married, farmed, and lived happily ever after until 1943, when she passed away at age 77.

Hillman's Lost Weekend
On Tuesday, we were treated to the folly of a Trey Hillman meltdown. He came out to argue a successful double steal where there was a play on Grady Sizemore at third. Jason Kendall's throw beat Sizemore, but it was on the wrong side of the bag and Alberto Callaspo couldn't get the tag down in time. This was all obvious to everyone in the stadium but Hillman. However, being a manager is often about image, and Hillman's has taken a pounding the last week or so, so he felt the need to debate the call with the third base umpire. Watching SABR Trey leave the dugout, the outcome of this confrontation was obvious even before it started – Hillman was there to show some fire (and grit, I suppose) and get kicked out. It was his time to send a message.
The zaniness extended to the ninth when the Royals cleared their bench. After using nine pinch hitters in their first 32 games, the Royals sent three to the plate in the bottom of the ninth: Brayan Pena, Wee Willie Bloomquist and Chris Getz. Seriously? No Kila Ka'aihue?
Just the latest in a bizarre week for SABR Trey.
It was a few days ago, but I'm still steaming over the Hillman managerial tour de force in Arlington last weekend. I'm going to recap these for posterity.
The Fine
So Hillman saw fit to fine his shortstop and undisclosed sum because of the way he failed to catch a pop-up. Really? That seems… Old fashioned. Then again, we are dealing with a manager who called a meeting at home plate after a spring training game to make a point. Whatever point he was trying to make was lost because he was gathering his major league team together like they were high schoolers.
If you want to punish a player, why wouldn't you take away his playing time. Put him on the bench for a few games (or in Betancourt's case, forever would be fine) because fining a millionaire $500 dollars is like any one of us losing a quarter in the cushions of our couch.
The Kila Monster
Who knew having Ka'aihue on the roster would create this kind of a problem. Here's the deal: On Saturday, Hillman decided the new guy would bat cleanup and play first with Butler at DH.
Now the issue: You knew if the game was close, that Hillman would remove Ka'aihue for a pinch hitter. By playing him at first (with Butler as the DH) this severely limited his options, should he decide to remove Ka'aihue.
Which is exactly what happened.
Guillen pinch hits for the Kila Monster and then the circus music begins… Maier moves from center to first and now Guillen has to stay in the game at right field. All this could have been avoided had Hillman simply filled out the lineup card with Kila at DH.
I harp all the time about Hillman not putting his players in a position to succeed. He did it to himself on Saturday.
Gil Meche
I've documented the mishandling of Meche from the beginning… The complete game where he threw against the Diamondbacks last June 16 wasn't the real killer. It was how Meche was handled after he developed the subsequent dead arm that has drawn my focus.
Now, there's another issue. Who is calling the shots?
In that game last June, Hillman asked Meche how he was doing. Meche answered that he wanted to finish the game and Hillman let him – despite the elevated pitch count. Now, through all the arm troubles and control issues that have transpired since that afternoon almost a year ago, a similar scenario played out in Texas on Saturday. Meche had thrown 103 pitches and walked five batters. His control wasn't there, but he gutted his way through seven. His day should have been finished. Somehow, he got back out on the mound. He walked the first batter. Then, he walked the second batter. How much more do you need to see? Hillman made a visit, asked how he felt. Meche said he was fine and Hillman's response? "Quit walking guys." Unreal.
If Hillman is in charge, he needs to man up and get his starter. I don't care about Meche being a veteran or whatever kind of unwritten B.S. we're following. Removing him from the game is the right thing to do for Meche and for the team. It was a 2-2 game and his starter was gassed. Everyone watching knew it. I'm pretty sure Meche knew it, but was too stubborn. I'm pretty sure Hillman knew it, but he didn't have the stones to stand up to the guy.
In the end, Meche threw 128 pitches. That's the most in the majors this year. For a guy less than a year removed from arm troubles. And the Royals lost.
The missed appeal
This one isn't as dramatic as two outfielders jogging off the field while the third out lands between them. It's actually much worse.
Here's the situation, just in case you haven't heard: Bottom of the third with runners on first and third and one out. Vladi Guerrero up and he lifts a fly to short left. Podsednik has a play at the plate, but the throw is offline and Kendall can't catch it. On the play, Josh Hamilton (who was on first) goes halfway, but when the throw comes home, brain cramps and moves up to second instead of back to first. He didn't tag up.
The attentive baseball team would make an appeal at first. The Royals are fundamentally unsound and it turns out, they fall asleep during games. It cost the Royals two runs.
After the game, Hillman took the opportunity to point the finger at his first baseman. It's amazing we can see Butler's number on his back given the frequency his manager and GM throw him under the bus.
You would hope your first baseman would catch that."
Actually, I agree with this. It was Butler's fault. To his credit, he stepped up following the game.
"That's my priority," Butler said. "You can put that one on me.
Butler is a bigger man than his manager. The manager who is about protecting his players would step in front and assume responsibility. Besides, teams usually assign someone on the bench to watch for things like this where you can basically steal an out. (Although you have to value outs on defense and there's plenty of evidence that the Royals don't.) Yes, Butler should have noticed this, but it just points to further fundamental breakdowns.
And why couldn't Hillman have spoken in general terms? Something like, "We have 25 guys not including our coaching staff. You would hope someone would catch that."
Third base coach
Dave Owen is a FOT (Friend of Trey) which is the only reason he's employed by this team. His antics on Thursday where he played stop and go with Mike Aviles is simply a microcosm of how ill-suited he is at his job.
According to Bill James, the Royals are already at -23 on base running gain. Dave Owen's Kill Count stands at 13 on the year. And rising.
This missteps were just a single weekend of folly. To document all the boneheaded moves from SABR Trey over the last two years would require so much bandwidth, it could shut down the internet.
Remember when the Royals felt the need to act quickly on Hillman because the Yankees were in the market for a manager? God, what I wouldn't give to turn back time to see how that would have worked.
This brings the following question: Is Hillman coming to the end of his time in KC? Hillman has had two years and change to show he understands the game and how to manage. Dayton Moore has had two years and change to assess his hire. You tell me.
Unfortunately, I'm of the school that subscribes to the theory that Moore is loyal to his guys. Hillman is Moore's hire. Plus, Moore is big on continuity. To fire the manager midseason would be disruptive to the team and to The Process. Therefore, Hillman finishes his contract.
Last weekend was a disaster, but we've seen this kind of stuff before. Eventually, it will all add up and GMDM will be forced to act. Although I have a feeling it will take until at least September before we have the kind of action we're looking for in this situation.

Son loves it! His fave new pair!
"My 2 y.o. little boy is very active, but hate to wear shoes. In fact, as soon as he gets in the car, he immediately removes them... until he started wearing these! He won't take these off. In fact, he ASKS to "put shoes on" as soon as he gets up from his nap or when we leave the house! He specifically points to these in the closet! Love them! Love Puma!"

Great shopping tote
"Since so many cities are requiring stores to charge for ugly shopping bags, I have decided my purchases deserve a stylish bag. This tote is a great size for clothes shopping. I ordered the champagne color, which just looks cream."
By: Melodymuse

"I like the leather but there are some flaws in the sewing, like the thread was a little too thick and it was pulling the leather, and there were lose threads. This was noticeable on the side of the bag and on the straps. However, I did get compliments on the color of the bag! It's a nice color, it can get dirty but bags are meant to be used anyway! I don't recommend using this bag to carry a laptop (such as Macbook) but the strap isn't sturdy enough, but it's okay with a binder, folders, and an iPad.Pro: Very roomy, nice material (but poor sewing)Con: There aren't things on the bottom of the tote (those things that give it a lift from any surface)Strap is too thin"

Micro Four Thirds cameras continue to muddy the question of why you'd want anything bigger—Olympus' successor to the E-P2 possibly being in the vanguard. The new little giant's got a major spec bump, and a gorgeous new body.
The PEN E-P3's sensor packs the same megapixelage as its predecessor (12), but it's less noisy. The EP-3's got extremely speedy autofocusing and shutter speeds (what felt like twice as fast as my E-P2), 1080i video, a peppy OLED touchscreen, and, yes two processing cores. This means your photos are chomped in parallel, spitting data to your memory card and display simultaneously, allowing for extremely snappy photography. It felt great—one of the most responsive cameras I've ever had my hands on. Click here to read more. [gizmodo]

Like The Look

Cuter online, but comfy
"These boots looked super cute online. They are snug in the calf over skinny jeans and I have really small calves. I tried them on and they would be super comfy if I had kept them. I felt like the black pair looked cheap, like they were bought from a Wet Seal store or something of that nature. I don't feel that they looked like quality leather that would originally cost more than $100. They are going back..."

How-To Geek
Easily Add Facebook Chat to Pidgin
Want to keep in touch with your Facebook friends throughout the day? Here we'll show you how to easily add Facebook chat to the popular multi-protocol chat client Pidgin.
Facebook has recently added support for XMPP chat, which means you can easily add it to popular chat clients such as Pidgin. Previously you could only add Facebook chat to Pidgin through a plug-in that didn't always work correctly. Here we'll walk you through setting up your Facebook account in Pidgin.
Getting Started
First, make sure you have a username for your Facebook account (link below). This is a relatively new feature for Facebook, so if you've had your account for a while you may need to choose one.
If you already have one, you should see it listed instead.
Now, open Pidgin, and click Manage Accounts.
Click Add…
Then select XMPP from the Protocol list.
Now, enter your Facebook username without the facebook.com part (e.g your.facebook.username, not http://www.facebook.com/your.user.name). Then, enter chat.facebook.com for the Domain, and enter your standard Facebook password. You can check the "Remember password" box if you'd like Pidgin to automatically sign in to Facebook chat.
Now, click on the Advanced tab, and uncheck the "Require SSL/TLS" box. Also, make sure the Connect port is 5222. Click Add, and your Facebook account is added to Pidgin.
Now Facebook will show up in your list of accounts, with the username email@example.com.
Your Facebook friends will show up directly in your Buddy list, complete with their full name and Facebook profile picture. Any users that are not in a group will show under your standard list, while ones in a Facebook group will be shown in a separate group. You can move which groups your Facebook friends show up in, just like you can with other chat contacts.
And no matter if your friend is logged in on the standard Facebook website or through another chat application, it will work the same as always.
This is a great way to keep in touch with your Facebook friends throughout the day. If you like Facebook chat and already use Pidgin, now you can keep from switching between programs and just chat with all your friends from a central location.

Not working for me..
just search "facebook chat in pidgin" on google and look for the link to the plugin which adds an facebook option to the account type box
Facebook's xmpp doesn't allow using port 80 does it?
Cool! This option works in the portable version too, the plugin doesn´t.
@matt – yes, you can do it with a plugin, but now that XMPP is supported it is the preferred method of using FB chat with Pidgin. This method is much more reliable than the plugin was.
@Corey – FaceBook XMPP chat requires you to use port 5222
not working for me…
when i tried to connect it says;
bryanlamchihoong @ chat.facebook.com/ 已断开连接
help me pls
THIS WORKS GREAT. For some reason the "facebook" plugin or whatever doesn't work but this work perfect.
@Jeahavee Good, glad it worked good for you. I had the same experience with the old plugin, and have enjoyed this new trick myself :)
This is not working for me, doublechecked the settings. If I have SSL/TLS on, Pidgin says "You require encryption but it is not available on this server". If I turn it off it says "email@example.com/ requires plaintext authentication over an unencrypted connection. Allow this and continue authentication?" If I say "YES" I get "503: Service Unavailable". any thoughts?
FYI: This didn't work for me until I added chat.facebook.com as the "Connect Server" under the Advanced tab. Now it's working fine.
I like using an application for pidgin called pidgin-facebookchat. As you can see the users pictures and status. plus when you hover your mouse pointer of a username it shows a bigger window with a bigger picture and show all the users status
Hmm, not working for me. Keeps giving the 503-error.
Also been getting a 503 error
503 me too.
I've never seen the errors with FB chat in Pidgin, but make sure that:
– you have a Facebook username.
– you're using port 5222
If this is set correctly, and Pidgin already works with other chat networks, then you FB chat should work fine, too.
I did your setting before March and it worked fine. But now it seems something changed in Facebook chat and can't get your setting work for now. Error 503 and need plaintext authentication.
When ever I try and sort my "buddies" it resorts them on the next log in.
Is anyone else having this happen?
it works for me. cool. take a bit longer at first but finally …:)
to people having trouble – try entering the following information in addition to everything in the howto:
Resource: Pidgin
Local alias:
and under the advanced tab
Connect server: chat.facebook.com
this fixed the 503 error for me
Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!! Finally fixed it!!!!! Yay!!!!!
If you enter a Local Alias instead of seeing xxxx @ chat.facebook.com/xxx11111x1x11x11x1x11x1 you will see a pretty name 'My name'
This was very helpful. Thanks so much!
my god… what exactly does he mean when he says you must enter Your.Facebook.Username ????
does he mean we must enter Your.Facebook.JohnDoe or does he mean that we must enter just JohnDoe ??? Why didn't he just fill it up with a Complete Example Using Fake Info instead of hiding/shading out some parts of the pics and using incomplete examples :(( what exactly is Your.Facebook.Username ???
Or is he simply trying to say "Type your Facebook Username Here" ?? i am lost cuz THIS IS NOT WORKING FOR many folk above including MYSELF and i am NOT sure if the reason could be this your.facebook.username thing . . . :(((
@Victor and anyone else getting the "requires plaintext authentication over an unencrypted connection" thing.
It will keep failing to connect until you uncheck "Allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams" in the advanced tab. Probably if I had just said NO in the first place the problem may not have come up but give a go and see if it works.
This is perfect! now i don't have to worry about fussing with all the crap that goes with getting that plugin to work on linux… thanks xD
OK guys, it seems it won't work for allot of people until you go here:
Go there, click pidgin, it will ask you to log out of Facebook, then log back in. Then reactivate the pidgin account, it should connect this time.
THx works perfectly!
thankx, it works
if you get this message, "You require encryption but it is not available on this server", make sure you UNCHECKED "require SSL/TLS under the advanced tab.
otherwise, delete account, then setup again following these instructions:
thanks a lot
I've finally got it running
Thank you!
David, thanx a lot, tried everything else, this fixed it for me.
yeah, and then group chat came along and they didn't think about making that work with XMPP.
Excellent, thanks!
I'm using Windows…. from what I can see the "Require SSL/TLS" checkbox no longer exists under the advanced tab. I can't get this to work.
i like alot
i think the problem is that you have to be signed into facebook in a browser while you're trying to set it up … at least i'm speculating since after i was on fb in firefox for about 10 minutes my 503 error went away
@ Curt:
Go To the Advance Tab, and find 'Connection Security', and drop down the new drop down menu. Choices are 'Require Encryption', 'Use Encryption If Available', and 'Use Old-Style SSL'. The Choice you want to pick in order to connect to facebook chat is 'Use Encryption If Available'. Select that, Save settings, and it should connect. Hope That Helps.
I've followed every instruction to the letter and this is what I get in response
"You require encryption, but it is not available on this server."
@ DonoJoshu
I've done this as well and it simply tells me "Not Authorized"
"Not Authorized" is what i get as well. I have checked the username, domain, password, set the encryption, set the allow plaintext, set the port, the connect server and it still just says
"Not Authorized"
Thanks! It works for me :)
works per David's fix, good man :)
The XMPP really does work!
The problem now is:
Since XMPP is used for both, How does one differentiate between someone who is on Gmail and who is on Facebook?
Is there a way to make custom icon based on who you are connected to?
Or better, make dupes of XMPP, re-do the icon and 'name' them with the service used?
ok guys, it works
but, you know, facebook has another new feature right now, Groups
how we connect with the chatbox?? can someone help ???
Thanks for this…
But my facebook group wasnt created..
whole lot of my facebook friends were under buddies list.
I had to create a Facebook group manually.
You should really update this "howto" since it obviously needs some updating. You should tell people that they have to enable chat via their facebook account, XMPP doesn't work at all unless you enable it for your username.
very thank of u
very good teaching i sow and tank u very much:d
i have done every single thing in here, i also do not have the check box, i click use encryption if availble and i get not athorized, i see some ppl saying i need to turn it on, on face book? how do i do this ? this works FINE for adium on my mac but PC is really fighting me here
i installed the facebook plugin that seems to be working fine
Any idea about having secure Facebook chat ?
works perfectly, no annoying plugins
voillla it works!!
Thank you. It works great
Awesome Man……… It works like a Charm……….. Awesome…….. thanks buddy…….
Doesn't work for me. "Not authorized" :-(
Your instructions did not work for me.
I installed the Facebook plugin from here:
That works.
@Matthew Henry
I was having the same "Not authorized" problem and I found this:
After I changed my password everything worked perfectly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks man ……………………… it will help a lot .
Go to this link http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php and click on the pidgin…. then try again.
It worked for me… Hope it works for you too.
Managed to get this to work after following David's instructions on going to http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php. Thanks.
Works for me. Thanks, to whomever put this here.
Make sure to follow the instructions, step-by-step.
Thanks, that was great!
my version of pidgin has no button to uncheck the "Require SSL/TLS"
It just is not there….period. do I not have the newest version of pidgin???
IT WORKED!!!!!!…… hurray
Works perfectly
Great stuff – thanks for explaining. Am new to Ubuntu and think this all-in-one chat is better than anything else!
Hey..thanks a lot..it worked perfectly for me :D
Thanks! it worked on my ubuntu 8.10 :D translated it to spanish to my blog
Simply wonderful!
Nice that facebook uses XMPP as well!
As soon as m$n and icq switches to XMPP as well (I wish), there will be no need for a multi-protocol IM client!
MUCH thanks! this should be part of their RTFM
how do u use it if u dont have the facebook ID yet…!?
very very thnx,,,i'm trying this from last 4 months,,,,,thnk you
it worked…:)
Thanks for this really big help. Im definitely sharing this to my friends.
ewh how can i chat in chat group on facebook?
someone pliss help
Go to face book to enable pidgin as David and Chan said. It says enable your client. It will make you log out and log back in after you select pidgin.
"Go to this link http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php and click on the pidgin…. then try again.
It worked for me… Hope it works for you too."
After this it worked! Thanks!
Matthew, if possible update your guide with this part!
Thank you!
…hey i have been trying for past few months…
i ahve tried the same(I guess) before aswell…but was unsuccessful
but this time …..it did work…

Thanks a lot !!!!
Ok , it's working perfect thanks …
Works like a charm !!!!! thanks man.

A new guide is needed. No matter what I do, I always end up with the authorize problem. Even if I use the facebook tour thingy.

From WWD ISSUE 09/18/2009
Norman Karr, a men??™s wear icon whose humor and savvy made him an industry favorite, died Wednesday night at Franklin General Hospital in Valley Stream, N.Y., at the age of 82. The cause of death was pneumonia following surgery, according to his son, Arnold Karr, senior editor, financial at WWD.
Over the course of his 50-plus-year career, Karr served as executive director of the Men??™s Fashion Association, Jeanswear Communications and the International Association of Clothing Designers. After a stint in the U.S. Army, Karr joined the Journal of Commerce covering the burlap and jute markets. He became editor of Driver??™s Digest before joining the American Institute of Men??™s and Boys??™ Wear in 1955. He served as public relations director and general manager of the group before becoming executive director in 1966. AIMBW changed its name to the Men??™s Fashion Association in 1969 and made its mark holding biannual press previews for the men??™s wear industry. The MFA developed the American Image Awards in the Eighties and later changed its name to The Fashion Association. While at the MFA, Karr also helped found The Clothing Bank with New York to help clothe the homeless.
Karr retired from TFA in 1995 and it subsequently became part of AAFA, which continues to hold the American Image Awards each year.
After retiring, he continued to serve as executive director of Jeanswear Communications and the IACD but phased out that work around 2000. Karr was heavily involved in the Young Menswear Association (and recipient of its AMY award) and had served as emcee for its annual fund-raising dinner for years. He was also active in Father??™s Day Council, the High School of Fashion Industries and numerous other industry groups.

Target is ready to walk on the wild side with Jean Paul Gaultier.
Sources told WWD that Gaultier is next up in the discounter??™s Designer Collaboration series, a relatively new concept geared to bolster the chain??™s cheap-chic status.
A Gaultier collection wouldn??™t appear in the stores for some time, but Target, said sources, has the ball in motion.
???We don??™t have anything to share other than we admire his work and incredible design aesthetic,??? a Target spokesman said Thursday.
A spokeswoman for Gaultier declined comment.
Target??™s DC series entails recruiting established designers with strong reputations to create collections based on their muses or other creative inspirations.
The series made its debut with Alexander McQueen in March with McQ Alexander McQueen for Target, inspired by Leila Moss, lead singer of The Duke Spirit. Anna Sui followed this month by channeling the TV program ???Gossip Girl.??? She??™s a fan of the show.
The collections were rolled out to hundreds of Target stores and also are sold on target.com and stay available for four months or so.
Sui??™s collection ranges from leather jackets, priced at $149.99, to metallic jacquard dresses and silk wrap dresses, at $59.99. Target created a pop-up store for Sui, at a private four-story town house at 54 Crosby Street in SoHo, which opened Sept. 9 to big crowds after being megahyped, and closed Sunday. Target could do a pop-up store for Gaultier, as well.
Gaultier is known for edgy street fashion interpretations, a Parisian panache, over-the-edge couture, generating lots of media and groupie followings.

3rd Tuesday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Matthew 10:9-15
The Lord said to his disciples, "Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart. As you enter the house, salute it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town."

How about your (sig makers) real life picture[s]?
I like the idea of a general robot theme. Would be less limiting than a mecha theme, and could lead to some interesting sigs.
lmao, I liked the animal theme

Style # 212348
Amp up your party style with this sexy bebe bodycon dress, featuring a tribal-chic print and pop-bright color. Try yours with a pair of black sandals and stacks of bangles.
- 92% nylon, 8% spandex
- Center back to hem: 31" (79 cm)
- Machine wash according to care label
- Made in USA with imported materials
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Panda123 Love it! The reason why I chose this dress is that this makes me pull out many looks which also makes it different from other dresses. If you wear high heels, then it's a great club outfit. If you wear ankle boots and a black leather jacket, then you are a rock chic... The picture and the real dress are pretty much the same, material is not thin, it's also good for chill weather. I got it from store with discount but didn't see it online, cannot complain at all for what I paid for :-) July 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by JustSelena Pretty dress, but the color is darker than pictured The pattern is striking, but I was expecting a brighter fucshia color like in the pictures, that's why I gave it four stars. In person, the color is darker, but I still like the dress because the material is not too thin, and the stripes hide imperfections and even panty lines - that's definitely a plus for a unlined bodycon. I am 5'1, 97 lbs, 34B, and P/S fits like a glove, even in the shoulders. Overall, it's a very pretty dress - I love the pattern. June 30, 2013

Appointment made in ramp up to Emirates launch to Algiers
DUBAI, U.A.E., 12th February 2013: Emirates, one of the world's fastest-growing airlines, has appointed Husain Alsafi as Country Manager for Algeria to support the airline's operation to the capital city, Algiers, from 1st March 2013. In his new position, Mr Alsafi will be responsible for Emirates' business operations in Algeria overseeing sales and service functions for the airline's passenger, cargo and airport operations, reporting directly to Jean Luc Grillet, Emirates' Senior Vice President Commercial Operations for Africa.
"Husain Alsafi has proven capabilities and experience. He has been a loyal and dedicated Emirates employee for nearly six years and has consistently proven his ability to maximize company revenue and surpass goals," said Jean Luc Grillet, Emirates' Senior Vice President Commercial Operations for Africa. "I am confident he will bring great success to our operations in Algeria."
Commenting on his recent appointment, Mr Alsafi said, "I look forward to leading the Emirates team of 30 qualified staff members to ensure the smooth operation of our daily flights between Dubai and Algiers starting from 1st March. We aim to establish strong relationships with our potential Algerian customers and stakeholders and will draw on my previous experience to ensure that I meet and exceed the demands of this diverse and dynamic market."
"We see great potential in Algeria, and I'm keen to learn more about this beautiful country so that I can spread the word about its wonderful tourist attractions." added Mr Alsafi.
Alsafi holds bachelor degree in Engineering Management from the Higher Colleges of Technology, UAE. In 2007, Al Safi joined Emirates as a Commercial Trainee and was appointed Country Manager for Bangladesh in 2009 and a year later for Yemen.
Beginning 1st March, EK 757 will depart Dubai daily at 0845hrs and arrive at Houari Boumediene Airport at 1330hrs. The return flight, EK 758, departs Algiers at 1535hrs and lands in Dubai at 0055hrs the next day.

At some point you've probably heard an accountant say, "Crap in equals crap out."
This is usually referring to the information that is provided by some clients to complete their end-of-year accounts and tax returns.
I can say this comfortably because now I have some statistics to back it up.
This is in no way a discussion about the quality of staff or clients. This is not about clients intentionally committing fraud. It's more likely that there has just been some inefficient accounting processes at play.
BankLink, a provider of transaction data and business software, has released some information confirming that 47 per cent of small and medium enterprises continue to input data manually.
Manual data entry is no longer necessary with the technology we have available. We can now get data feeds from the bank, and software exists that memorises transactions and makes the process much faster.
But remember, accounting systems need to be set up properly if they are going to work, so ensure your accountant is involved in this process.
Having an accountant involved will mean the 13 per cent of SMEs that need extra help with their end-of-year accounts and tax returns won't need that help any more - saving them on accounting fees.
Also, 43 per cent of businesses admit they are late with supplying information to their accountant. Being tardy with your end-of-year information has a cost, and not just in the way of more accounting fees or potential use of money interest.
Instead of meeting to discuss those financial statements to get an understanding of how business is doing, or to get some advice on what needs to change to make a buck, 65 per cent of SMEs are instead meeting with accountants to discuss and clarify transactions on bank statements.
Discuss your needs upfront and make sure you and your accountant understand when information needs to be provided, to ensure that you meet to talk less about that purchase from Shop X for $600.
Your financial statements are an invaluable product. They are used to determine insurance and ACC entitlements, are a historical base for planning and valuations, a reference for borrowing and, of course, calculating the tax you pay.
Come on, SMEs it's time to change the stats and get efficient.

Well, numerous issues for the GM involved repeat botters [Everyone has at least a few on their server, and everyone knows who they are] and I can not think of a single instance where one of them was ''handled'' appropriately.
More importantly came AH issues. There were 2 seperate occasions where I purchased something off the AH, but the item did not appear in my delivery box. When I asked for my gil to be restored, or my item presented, I was greeted with a ''Sorry...we can't do that, and we're not refunding your money either''.
The billing issue which still has yet to be resolved involved being triple billed one month.
A final GM issue can be noted with harassment. A linkshell had been harassing my exp party, and we blacklisted them, and they proceeded to have their LS mates harass us further. When we asked the GM to take some action, all we got was a ''We'll look into it''. Sure enough...nothing happened. Sorry, buy telling me you'll ''look into it'' isn't enough when I can show you my chat logs right then and there. Action, not promises, are what I look for in terms of customer service.

Originally, I ran the game with a PC133 motherboard, with 2 gigs of RAM, and a Geforce MX420 graphics card. It ran, but it wasn't pretty. Weather effects have to be turned off for example, and graphical lag was noticable. [For example, the green mist in the crawler's nest would rape my computer]
Then I upgraded to an ATI 9800 Pro 256mb, and ran the game at much higher resolutions, I think the highest I ran it at was still 1280 x 1024, with 2x Ani-aliasing. The game ran significantly better, weather effects didn't affect performance.
i started playing just before the RMT fall, prices droped down to normal, it was nice that i could buy decent amour at a decent price when i hit lv 30 on my rdm, at that point i decided to unlock ninja and use thf/ninja, im now currently lv 45, and am part of a large social linkshell, i have a friend, who is part of a major HNM linkshell, we hardally have time to hang out becuase hes always fighting genbu and the other gods, not AV yet...
this game takes alot of dedication if you want to go far, not so much to have fun, but if you want it all, you've got to play, there are still things that only 3-5 people have done (each server i mean), like getting the final wepon skill "knights of the round", it takes at least a year, and the same with the lu shang fishing rod quest, you have to fish 10,000 moat carp, and after that, you recive a fishing rod (kinda lame huh?). but apparently its worth it, yet it takes about a year also.
monsters the same lv as you arnt not easy, unless you know what you are doing, and it costs money, lots of it. solo isnt really an option on the game unless your going to do a diffacult class like beastmaster, wich can be somewhat rewarding, but partying and making friends is the ture aim for players on this game.
the game will lagg on a very busy day in a dense area, but even then not much.

I tried to keep in mind it's release date when I wrote it, while not disregarding the fact that there are standards for today as well.
Well, by this logic, this argument applies: Shouldn't every MMORPG be re-rated every year to keep a more current standard? Are they? DAoC, for example, has an 8.4 rating; surely, according to 2006 standards, that rating should have gone down, right?
I'm just saying, if FFXI is to be compared with 2006 gaming standards, so should every MMO.

Some things I should point out:
1. Your account is not deleted after 3 months. Your character data is saved for a year and can be reactivated for the entire year. This was changed during the "Return to VanaDiel" campaign.
My account was deleted and I was never even able to TRY the game. The fact they change it doesn't correct the situation for players, like me, that just waste $70 and never where able to even play.
Considering it is a raid-end-game, it just save me time, still I waste $70 and all I saw was the character creation, never even able to try the game...(my computer was to weak back then and when I buy a new computer, my account was completely deleted).
Square Enix may change and improve, they still wrong me in the past, and I am a vindicative person on such a level. I am glad to hear they no longer do that, but it doesn't change anything about how it WAS when I grant them some interest.

>_> <_< ^_^
I personaly enjoy playing this game...
that was a good review btw...
But.....for those who dislike this game please bequite...im tired of hearing "this game takes to long" "people in this game arnt new player friendly" blah blah blah
most pro players expect you to have at least read a guide so you know what your doing, and expect to know you can type...
i personaly hate dealing with new players that dont even try to make full words...
"how do u heal?" "type /heal or press H on the keyboard..."
but off of that,this game does take lots of time so you gotta make sure you have 3+ hours a day to play to get a good amount of things done.
and i have had personal experiance, most people hate players who beg for gil (myself im poor constantly x,x)
Linkshells are a key part of having fun in this game.
this game IS almost complete partying after about 25+ (unless your a beastmaster or MAYBE puppetmaster)
but please PLEASE, when you talk use words that have ALL the letters and dont consist of NUMBERS PLEASE...its so hard to comunicate with players when you do and trying to explain to new players about things when they dont use all the words in a sentence makes you just /walk away.....
thats about all i can think of >,o
OH and i enjoy starting over and leveling to 30 and such so fun for me (just started over again)
if anyone lands on searph when starting just ask for help from Okima and im sure i can do something.
You wont live long enough to remember my name...
Most of the review was pretty much bang on.One point i would like to mention about the majority of gamers in general.Too many people in there complaints are worried about time???Why are you playign any game at all if you are worried about time?You are suppose to be in there having some fun and teaming up with other players.
It always becomes very imminent to me that players are in some kinda hurry to romp through any game,why is this?IMO that proves how bad a game is ,if you just want to whip through it without enjoying it.
If/when your time limit is up for the day,so what,logoff the game and continue it again when you have the time.This is not at work where your being paid to complete so much by end day.If your bound to a LS and playing with other players then yes you have to commit time to them to accomplish anything,otherwise you shouldnt be playing a MMO but rather play a free asian solo grindfest or play FPS's.
This game has been and IS designed for group play,so don't ever ridicule it because it's not solo friendly.Solo friendly games i have seen take very little effort to design and usually have terrible content.Fps's are the only genre that is truly designed properly for solo play.If you like to play solo there is amillion asian games or try quake/unreal tournament/serious sam[lol][funny game]/call of duty there is a ton of options.
I myself flip flop from party based games to solo based games to keep my interest going,i think others should follow the same routine to keep from ridiculing games that cant solo or are very time consuming.
For the life of me i can't figure why i would want a game to finish super fast if its a game i enjoy alot.The majority of people i know that truly enjoy a game,pretty much want it to last forever.
I also want to point out that your players are NOT deleted after a cetain time frame,only YOU can delete them.If you deleted them then why the heck are you blaming squenix for your stupidity?I have been offline for a year and still re-activated all my players.If it's past a year you just email them and they can still re activate a player,but no you cannot bring back deleted players lmao,that's your fault.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
No they are still copyright of Square-Enix, EVERYTHING on your account is also owned by Square-Enix (ingame name, items etc). Also show the pics WITHOUT the mmorpg.com logo on them (since you say you took the screenshots), you have only shown the pics that ALREADY are linked to on this very site (that have mmorpg.com in the corner along with copyright info).

Uhm, bit late in reply.. haven't really followed the thread... but still better then not bothering (or being able) to read what is being said...
I never said I deleted my characters, I haven't ... what I said is that I wouldn't mind if they would delete my characters after not being active for more then a year (since I would probably do so myself) rather then being told to buy a new key after reinstalling everything ... nothing was mentioned about an option for reactivating the account, if that's a possibility then I might consider going back to this game, enjoyed my time in it...
After 3 months of inactivity all characters are deleted on the account, there was one campaign last year that let you activate account & get back your characters (I think, dont remmember too much of it).
For the numerous keys for account AND game I am not sure how they are handled, if you canceled the playonline-account you need to buy a new game.
Square-Enix really need to take lessons from other mmorpgs in regards to keeping character records & account keys (FFXI uses four(!) different cd-keys for a single account, that is 3 too many).
Nah, I don't care if I'd have to type in 200 account keys to activate my account (well, it would get real tedious, but that's besides the point), what bothers me is that they want me to buy the game again. I don't have any of the expansions, except for rise of zilarth (believe that's the name), and they do have those nice boxed sets that include the old game plus all expansions, so it's not like it's undoable, but I wanted to see if I could get back into the game before I did that... and now I think it's just not going to happen.
Not when a game like Anarchy Online even has all my characters fully intact after 2+ years of complete inactivity, and no BS about buying a new game key.
Customer service in FFXI is rather laughable. GM's are seemingly powerless to do anything. If you trade an item and it disappears, that item is gone forever, and it won't be getting replaced. While billing issues can usually be resolved with great efficiency, in-game problems are normally just ignored. It can be extremely frustrating when a repeat botter is constantly reported, and no action is taken to prevent these illegal activities from going on.
One other thing of interest is the fact that Square Enix will nullify your content ID, which is essentially deleting your character, if you stop playing for more than three months. Considering inactive characters aren't really affecting their server, it seems peculiar that they would not want to secure their customer's satisfaction by just leaving their character alone, at least for a longer amount of time. Games like Dark Age of Camelot have kept characters forever and it's absolutely laughable that Square Enix does not.
Just wanna point out that the above information is no longer valid. SE does not delete characters anymore. Also GM's have become a bit more player friendly. Now if you lose an item you CAN call a GM to get it back, and they do take botter's seriously. This score needs to be brought up.
im about to start this game, and would like to thank you for tellin me what to expect.
