new to the forum, returning to ffxi

[anemathis]

Hey all,

My wife and I recently decided to start playing again. I played in the old days of chains of promithia on Lakshmi back when 5000 people on the server was a slow night. Well my wife and I recently started playing again statically with a friend. I started anew as i lost my old POL id (no biggie) and we have been playing for 3 weeks or so on Leviathan. Well i gotta say the server is pretty bare... from what i've seen thus far, 1300 people on a friday night is "as good as it gets". My question is are all the servers this way? Do some have more activity than others? What is a good server to transfer to?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

See you in Vana'diel!

Check this thread out and see if it is what you are looking for.

I haven't check the numbers for Cerb, but most servers are basically the same. IMO you just need to find a group of people to play with.

Welcome to the forum/back to the game!

It never fails to amaze me how formal people are when they first start posting here. The posts themselves almost always looks the same, too. It's not a bad thing, just a funny consistancy I've noticed.

I guess that's true, we really just need a good group of people to have stuff to do with. Let alone show us the ropes of the new style of play, a lot has changed since the days of lvl 30 restricted crag xp runs O.o.

So Cerberus you say huh? How many members "active" members in your linkshell would you say?

[Squiggs]

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

Probably 10-15 active members, with the most active time being evenings Eastern time.

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

are there any players anymore that PT at low lvls? low lvls being 10-30. We have yet to be able to make a full party even with level sync. I really think Square Enix may end up merging all the worlds...

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

They won't. People just don't do traditional parties at those levels. Check out GoV alliances in various dungeon zones (Gusgen/Maze/Probably Others at this point) for alliance invites.

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

The traditional 6-person party doesn't happen often anymore. Even before the introduction of Grounds of Valor it was on its way out, as you could get more done as a duo or trio and not have to worry trying to find a rep. You can find most people in that level range in Gusgen Mines, doing page 1, and then moving from there to Crawlers' Nest in the mid-30's.

I think I'm the only person from leviathan on here anymore. lemme clear some space. /em moves junk
I can offer you a social Ls if thats what you'd like once you make friends you're free to play with other ls and just pop in whenever.

Send me a /t in game and I can give you a pearl or contact Naughtymistress & Nosveratu they are a couple in Rl.

If you're looking for a more focused group I'd suggest Feastoffriends Ls. My friend is a memeber and the others that I have met a few times seem decent people. They are 10 registered members on ffxiah but I imagine theres alot more considering how fast my friend has got stuff done.
send a /t to Finnigan if this Ls seems to be what you are looking for and tell the little stumpy leg taru that Ianto has sent you.

I hope to see you ingame. I'm usually being murdered in besieged and campaign so gimme a /wave "or a Raise" XD if you see me and say hi.

My Character is Ianto.

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

I find it hard to believe that the server population has dropped that dramatically in less than 8 months. My buddy played on leviathan as well back in February of this year and claims that there were no more than 1700-2000 people on at any one time. I'm seeing numbers of 1300-1800 which isn't substantially less but there has got to be more populated servers... If there isn't, SE should really do another merger

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

Much more than 2k and the server would be too busy. Are you having trouble finding people for something that is causing you to wish for a server merge so early into your return?

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

yo guys know it's been a while but i finally got my ffxi account setup and will be starting today. So which server is most sociable and active? i remember murph and yyg telling me about valefor

[Squiggs]

Re: new to the forum, returning to ffxi

Yyg just went back to Valefor after vacationing on Lakshmi for three months and Murphie doesn't currently play. Check out the link in my first post and see if Cerberus is something you might be interested in.
