Returning to FF XI

[Jake_Amick]

So I'am back again except this time I'am on PC instead of the XBOX 360 or PS2 which in i used to play FF XI can I get a little up to date Info on FF XI I want to know a good newbie server with a big population of active players that speak English because last time I joined a server full of people speaking Spanish and I really don't want to have to do that again

That's a thread started by one of our regular forum posters here who has started a linkshell for people who have recently returned to the game. It's on Valefor and I'm sure he'd be glad to have you.

Re: Returning to FF XI

We're a pretty awesome group of folks. Helpful and friendly, though our senses of humor are...interesting? We are happy to help with any and every thing, but we do not hold your hand. If you're looking for a fast trip to 90, this isn't the place. Still, we are happy to get to 90 with you.

When is the last time you played FFXI? Knowing that will help people to illustrate how much the game has changed in the interim. I stopped in 2009 and came back recently, and man, it is very different.

Re: Returning to FF XI

Thought I would ask about what has changed as well. I recently re-subscribed to FFXI. Last time I played was in 2008.

I read that the level cap was 90 now?!?! I don't know much else except that the Abyss area is where everyone is at.

Downloading the patches ATM: 9hours -.-'

Both of you are welcome to join us on Valefor. We're more than happy to accept returning players into the group. We have many people in the shell who are getting their bearings back... so you would be in good company. We have recently expanded our numbers by a crazy amount, so you'll be joined by players from all different time zones.

Let us know if you're interested and we'll have someone come out to meet you and get you aquainted.

Also: To Aks and Murph: Way to be team players... especially Aks... since you don't even actually play, lol.

Re: Returning to FF XI

I still remember how hard it was to get started without a solid group of people behind me.

Re: Returning to FF XI

I actually found myself staggered today when I logged in. There were 10 (or so) new members I didn't recognize. On top of the 25 members I do know, I'm impressed at our numbers as of right now. I think I'm going to have to go back on my original plan of making EVERYONE a sack holder. We have 1 or 2 members who simply throw pearls at anyone below level 20 or anyone walking around with no SJ.

I love having a large shell, but most of these new guys just think we're a social and don't understand what we're there to do. Once they find out from one of the senior members that we're a HELP LS (wicked bad description by the way), they start to bombard me with infinate requests for help. Some things they ask for are simple... some are retarded to even bring up... and others still make me want to /facepalm.

Starting tomorrow morning, I'm stripping Sackholders of their sacks and limiting it to myself and 5 or so others. It's nothing personal, I just want to make sure that we take in quality people... and maintain at least a small pseudo-screening process.

Anyone is still welcome to join, but I want them to understand what our LS is before they do.

Re: Returning to FF XI

A perfectly reasonable idea. I was on yesterday and didn't know who half of the folks on were. And then they never said anything.

Don't take my sack from me! ; ;

I like sacks

Re: Returning to FF XI

But no one likes you!

Well you'll get to keep one, at least. I don't think Yyg would take that one from you.

Yeah probably not. Murphie might though, since he's a galka and you know what they say about galkas...

Re: Returning to FF XI

I added a member list Sticky to the forum. I'm going to work on updating it. Please let me know of anyone I missed and any information that's missing or wrong.

I'm a little hurt that you don't think any of my jobs are notable. Heartless bastard.

a "..." means I can't remember... or you're working on so many of them that it's hard to tell.

Clarify for me and I'll edit it.
