FFXI is not dead.Follow

you win this time, allakhazam.

the many posts says (A), but my guess is (C). a lot of people really are that emotional about ffxi/forums and say stuff about how they're always "straight up" or "honest"--meaning exempt from exerting any effort to think about what they say or avoid stupidity.

well if your ranting about 2-3 whats gonna happen when they lift the cap from areas and what about 2-5 cop mission which you need 6 people

people don't help others due to the fact that they are in end game shells and time is limited for them everything is scheduled so are you going to pass up einherjar or sky or sea or other things that you have scheduled for a rank mission 2-3?

I even fixed my sig to relate this.

first up i find it hard finding people help with newer content like the wotg quests.
stuff like rank missions and cop i hope will start to get easier from the next update. why ? well because the level increase, and the cop areas having no cap will suddenly make the solo aspect of the game open up and will only get better for old content once the cap goes up.
the dragon fight and 5-1 will still be problems though but shadow lord you can solo at the moment, did it pld /war and will be eaiser once cap goes up.



i have big hopes for both star wars and ff14 , from what i read of ff14 hopefully it wont have levels and only skills so will be quicker to get a good build, in ff11 i have a problem where i main paladin with capped sword, evasion and divine skills but i need level up another job to be able do content in the game so i hope ff14 improves on this situation.

ff10 is now my longest played online game , longer than my ultima online playtime and that was a fair bit so yes its showing it age fairly badly now but there still things good about it which i hope ff14 will improve on.

star wars looks intresting and might be game which take wow crown as mmorg to the massive , but ff14 i think will need prove itself more than starwars but think it going be a great game.

You don't need an escort to Jeuno. When I hit 20, I walked solo to Jeuno. I was (and still am) RDM, so I had Sneak (particularly useful since I was walking from Bastok and needed to avoid a lot of Quadav), and one stack of powders, that I paid for out of my own earnings. I've heard testimonials from people who did it with no stealth at all. It helps if you a) reset your home point at guard posts along the way so you don't get sent all the way back to start if you die and b) have a good exp buffer to guarantee than you'll still be 20 when you get there. It'll be even easier nowadays with Reraises from the Field Manuals. I don't wish to seem arrogant, but a lot of people ask for help for things that don't need help (and they would learn useful playing skills by doing them solo).

You don't understand how right you are. Logic is the plague to every mmo.

Once the sublime fades, every mmo inevitably manifests itself to complete boredom because your next upgrade is written in stone and you just need to clear the leaves to see it. The process of getting that upgrade is tedious and the joyful moment of obtaining it is short lived. Then what is the reason for even participating in something so predicable? The people. If you don't enjoy playing with the people, why bother playing at all?
