Re: The Game Itself

So how big is Bahamut now?

At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on Bahamut. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XI will be unavailable.

We ask that players who are scheduled to enter Assault, Salvage or Einherjar areas, Dynamis or Limbus at the time of the maintenance wait until it is complete before entering. Please note that we cannot replace items that are lost during the maintenance process.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

* We will be removing the 2000 new players who transferred over for Blue Gartr Linkshell. Please refer to the PlayOnline website for more detail as they are released and GTFO Bahamut.



[Date & Time]
Jun. 27, 2007 from 12:00 to 15:00 (PDT)
* Maintenance completion time may be subject to change.

[Affected Services]
FINAL FANTASY XI

Re: The Game Itself

Who said it was overrated?

It's well known by the endgame set because of the Order of the Blue Gartr, who started a forum that sort of became the de facto endgame forum for a lot of people. But it's pretty much just like every other server.

Re: The Game Itself

I say overrated because when people I know talk about ffxi it's usually about Bahamut.

Well then.

As was stated already, join a server that you either have friends in or are being offered friendship.

Re: The Game Itself

Why is bahamut so overratted anyway?

They might be a good end game LS but they don't know how hyperlinks work.

If this was to me lol I'm currently logged into bg website lol. And mainly alot of people who were not going to be accepted by bg were rumored to transfer over to be on the same server lol.

No, it was to Jrgsubzero. He said it was over rated.

Re: The Game Itself

So I take it this linkshell is full of themselves or do they actually pull weight?

You know, some Guilds/clans/linkies are known for one thing and one thing only and become famous/infamous for it.

From my experiences, with great fame comes great elitist assholerly.

Does seem to stem most from WoW and CS though. Good thing FFXI is more mature.

Basically the first ls to kill alot of the newer HNM also have good ideas/strats for the fights. And the site basically has the top tier end game ls discuss ideas for events/mobs/etc. Its basically where endgame babies come from.

Re: The Game Itself

Blue Gartr had some big name kills in the past, I think they were one of (if not the) first NA LS to take down Kirin, but this was so long ago it's hard to remember things.

Both, I think. They actually do get to new content earlier than a lot of other people (for what that's worth), but some are offended by the attitude they have.

A lot of endgame LS confuse skill with the ability to stay on all the time waiting for something to pop (and/or claim it when it does pop - which I guess is skill of a sort, except if you're using a bot, which according to rumor, most endgame LS do). People who can do that have better gear so everything is easier for them, but it doesn't necessarily make them more skilled. (Also, people who have more time to play can easily max their merits while still maintaining a heavy endgame-content schedule, which is much more difficult for players with limited time.)

Exactly. Either they really are as great as they think they are, or they're jerks - take your pick.

Sometimes it is. Not always, unfortunately. With the increasing popularity of PLing and easymode merits, the maturity and skill level seems to have declined in the last couple of years.

Re: The Game Itself

Well, it's important to understand the distinction between BG the LS, and BG the forums. The LS is ok. It's really just another endgame LS at this point. No better or worse than most of the other ones you see out there.

The forums on the other hand are where item discoveries, strategies, etc. are being discovered and discussed. And while some members of the actual BG LS are contributing to those things, there are a lot of people from other servers who are as well.
