Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

Oh yeah? I was an elvaan WHM. You folks at home can make up your own jokes.

I would love to play again, but all my characters are gone and it would take me forever to get back to where I was. I sold all my stuff for fireworks!!!

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

my one right now is a taru whm named Mavie

i hear the new expansion that is coming out focuses heavily on solo content, and introduces blue mages, so i dont know i might have to keep an eye out on that

Yeah, I've had enough finally. ^^

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

If you don't want to take the time to be good than it's best you quit.. there's enough lazy n00bs already.

Why would people want the game to be fast? It's not World of Warcraft. What's
the fun in getting to level 75 in half a month? Certainly not the HNM linkshells.

I appreciate that the game required the player to know what he/she was doing to be enjoyable.

Also, Galka mages unite!

Oh I wasn't lazy, I was a level 36 Ranger, so damn hard to get that high, I couldn't imagine getting to 75. I realized it took hours upon hours just to get a single level, to me that progress wasn't worth it.

Yeah, try getting an Elvaan WHM to level 50. People throw garbage at you, even if you have the best gear and more than adequate MP...

Hard for poeple like me with a full time job, and other responsibilities.

I really did like FFXI, but it got to the point to where I would have to wait over 2 hours just to find a party, then to spend forever getting my level up.

Try to at least understand other poeples lives instead of calling them "lazy n00bz".

You're preaching to the choir!

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

No offense, but getting to level 36 isn't that hard..

I got a Galka PLD to level 50 in like a month and a half.

Thats bull****.

Getting to level 20 alone is a freakin chore. Every level after like 12 is a chore.

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

FFXI isn't any ****ing fun. It turns into a job. A job I pay to work at.

[Nixon]

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

That's why I quit. I realized I had other, more productive things that I could stress out over.

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

If the game were more solo friendly, and didn't have a f***** up economy, I would have stayed.

You had to spend so much time and effort to get anywhere, even if it was small, it was just not worth it. Quests are stupid because the rewards are weak, if you even get a reward at all (getting fame to do more dull quests is not worth the trouble).

And even with the proper equipment, and knowing fully well how to use my job, it was difficult as hell to solo the easy prey monsters once u got to a certain level. Losing over 2000exp worth to gain about 30exp from a fight is not fun. Plus with the down time it was about 5min a fight for me.

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

I dropped FFXI after I got the chocobo. Seriously, did anyone really think that game was the least bit fun? Not I. It took forever to gain levels and that was IF you didn't die. If you did die, it was almost like kissing your entire night of adventuring goodbye, the exp handicap was so bad. At least in WoW, when you die you take a hit on equipment, not exp.
And if you wanted to go to an area? For godsakes you'd spend a half hour trying to get through a zone. The professions weren't all that helpful either, so it really didn't help to waste time with them.
One of the best things FFXI did though was give the character thier own house. I've never seen anything else like that (wish WoW had some sorta system like that). It was great decorating your house. I only wish they could have allowed the option of visiting with other people.

Re: anyone still around in FFXI?

I had a 65 Hume Dragoon. I dare anyone to try and top that. I had some great times in the game, but it was just too "hardcore" for me i guess. Spending 2 weeks to gain one level, only to spend 2 months to farm for the items you *needed* to level sickened me.
