I want to..

[Ashady]

I want to like this game, but as a low level its just not social enough for me, I want a chatter box LS i can join up with, who will help me out or whatever.

The silence in the newbie zones is driving me INSANE!!

Well if im lucky, somone will run past me, inspect my gear, and do an embarrassment emote Very nice.

Hang in there man, I didn't get a fun (Chatterbox) LS until i started partying in the dunnes. Yeah it gets pretty lonely out there by your self but it will get better.

Re: I want to..

A friend referred me to the game, so I was born with a very social LS. I'm lucky that way. I hope you can find a fun LS, too.

Levels 1-10 are only temporary, in time they will pass, and you will be in parties, making friends and eventually getting a linkshell.

Hang in there, it's worth it.

You could also search some different LS criteria here, and contact any LS you're interested in.

Best thing to do when you don't feel like playing, is to not play. Find something you enjoy doing, and do that.

The areas in the game as so huge that you wont be finding 10x people clogging your camp like you see on mainstream free RPGs, eventually you'll be forced to play together with others, and then you'll either love it or hate it ;P

Re: I want to..

Since you are so low you could consider switching servers - but in all honesty, if you dont have the patience to get from 1-10, then perhaps the game just isnt for you.

FFXI is so huge and jobs so varied that it is a matter of keeping yourself amused, not sulking because you cant get other people to do it for you.

As others have said, there are plenty of people in the first grouping areas such as Dunes that will be part of LS's, of course, if you are that upset, you could just set up your own.

Re: I want to..

Here's what you do, Ashady.

1.) Go into town.
2.) Type this: /sh "Ahem! Excuse me, everyone! I would like to formally introduce myself to you all as I am new to the game! If there is anyone out there that would invite me to join their linkshell, I would be very much obliged! I just want to make some friends, that's all. Send me a /tell if you wanna be my friend!"

That's exactly what I did as a level 1 WHM, literally 10-15 minutes of total playtime and I now have two linkshells. Now, I can switch linkshells whenever one gets boring.

You just gotta let people know you're out there and you're friendly, that's all.


Final Fantasy XI: Online has the best community, in my own experiance, out of any other MMORPG. For me, it's enough reason alone to play this game. WoW has the worst online community. The newbs are assholes, the 1337s are assholes, the mobs, the rogues, everyone. All assholes.
