No pop items ever

Genuine question, just wondering if this is a personal preference of yours or something that Nasomi has passed on to you in regards to this thread?

With the influx of players, many of the Kings/HNMs etc are laggy and overcamped. Do you have plans to add pop items?
No. There are no pop items and there aren't going to be. FFXI is about the competition - half of the excitement is about getting one leg up on another group. We have an anti-claimbot system in place, we're working on improving lag and latency as well. Last patch there was a big improvement to that.

I don't want it to be a pop but we should really revisit his spawn time. You can be up there a whole day and not see him. It's nonsense to have Ulli so long when every other one respawns after a couple hours only.

Fair one.

I do feel like things like Ulli pops should be revisited and spoken about though, because it’s a bit of a fiesta. But if Nasomi doesn’t want to implement Diorite I won’t be crying.


I mean this is just untrue, it does spawn when it’s supposed to. You just have to be willing to either sit a character up there for ToD if you don’t have it or be up there potentially waiting for 8-12 hours
