Hi, folks.

In case you haven't noticed, we've been having some site issues lately. These were partly due to an attack on the site for the last few weeks, and partly due to the fact I haven't had much time to deal with these problems for a while.

I will be upgrading some things on the server and this site in the coming week, so stay tuned. But please keep in mind that, during these upgrades, you may find some errors and problems on the site. Don't worry and don't fret about them, they will be temporary during the transition.

Also, the attacks we've been having have been from spam-bots submitting links to generate link spam. I've done my best (considering how little time I've had lately) to block the offending bots and close up the holes. But if anyone finds any further uncaught spam on this site, please let me know (with URL) and I'll deal with it ASAP. Please post found link-spam in this thread.

Thanks for your patience, guys. -Sam

I have some holiday homework for everyone :-)

I want to know how in the heck you get the Bonze Cape. It's been in the FFXI database for almost a year now, but I can't find any information online on how to obtain it.

It could be that the item simply doesn't exist in the game (there's actually several items and areas that are in the game's database but aren't actually in the game), but I've heard rumors that some people have actually seen others wearing this.

So, your homework is to see what you can uncover about this item (if anything). Post your findings in this thread.
