torrent the update, paste it over, do a file check, much faster.

It would be a welcome change, it would free up my computer to do other things. Like multibox without alt+tab.


alt tab with 2 fingers isnt easier than moving both hands to another keyboard/controller?

legally, you have to buy a version, technically you can just download it.

Maybe if your PC sucks, it wouldn't be easier to dual box on the same PC.

quad core i7 with 8gb of ram and a gig of dedicated video, no it doesn't suck, I prefer to switch input devices over switching an active window, I prefer to have multiple screens so I can always see what's going on, it'd be even easier if I set up more macros, but meh.

gets interesting when triboxing though, especially with wireless keyboards that look the same :P

if you own the game, ur allowed to download it. well I dont wanna say allowed but there definitely is nothing that can be done about it legally.

and wow @ the alt+ tabbing being harder than totally moving ur hands to a separate controller/keyboard lol.

yeah there is, under current copyright law, it's illegal as hell and you could see yourself in court, if they so desired, unlikely but don't tell people that pirating can't land them in legal trouble. (not saying to not pirate (I'm pro pirating in most cases, including this one) but don't mislead people)

it's not the action that it's "harder" but being able to efficiently multibox on one pc vs multiple platforms (or pcs) definitely varying, and can differentiate between different people, so you do your thing, I'll do mine.

and that is still pirating, so yes you can... ?(especially if they don't have it for that platform)... roms are different, as they aren't distributed on dvds. ?(inb4 not all forms of xi are either)?

tl;dr yes you did

It's only legal to personally make a copy of something you own. It's still illegal to download a copy. If you're torrenting it, then you're also sharing the copy that you downloaded illegally too.

That said, I haven't heard of anyone even hearing from SE about downloading another copy of FFXI. You'd still have to purchase a CD Key if you didn't already own a copy of the game, so they're still getting money from new players.
