Ahhh, you're right! My iPod just fully charged, too...was just about to listen to it. Bad times, hopefully Cindy and Sam will notice the error and fix it soon.

EDIT: PM has been sent to Cindy to inform her of the problem.

The bazaar sounds similar to Lineage with its private stores, only in this case, in designated zones. In order to find particular items there was a search option, and I believe I read somewhere there is one for the bazaar. Personally I liked the private stores and the crafting aspect of Lineage II and really like where FF XIV is going with the crafting and gathering.

I just checked the podbean feed again and it keeps disappearing, I don't know what the cause is so for now just stream it from this site, I'm letting Sam know about it.

Very sorry !

Are you using "right click, save as"? It works fine for me.

Anyway, here is a mirror for now until the issue is resolved:

Did you try the mirror link I have provided? There's no way that's not working.

[Girseo]

I downloaded it from the mirror, right clik on it and "save as" it works. It was the other "download" button wich does not work.

Another great episode thanks guys for the info. Still no discussion on possible realm tagging, looks like i'm going to be forced to play with the minority of the server population by being European, woo lol

On topic I think the main point of interest when you get past the whole omg 7 combat classes (i mean like pointed out FFXI only had 6 starter ones ) is the whole no auction house system in place as of yet/ not going to be one.

I think their definitely going to need some kind of search function or grouping function which still sounds like a complete nightmare as you still have to click on each individual person to make sure your buying at the lowest rate. And as for selling instead of easily looking up the going rate you'll have to wander round the room looking at each person selling your item, all in all this is going to need some serious work not to be such a hassle it becomes pointless trying to sell/buy. This is a real shame as the whole auction house selling buying thing is one of my favorite things about MMORPG's and i'd love to see a viable trade system introduced.
