This game always gives me hardcore nostalgia. Was just thinking of this forum due to some new content FFXIV just released last week which had a nice throwback by adding Absolute Virtue as a boss lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIuhHQl7gpg I kinda wished I kept in touch with people from...

Shome's right the community of this forum was all about us being together on one server and needing to talk to work around each other or air our greiveances. Definitely great times, but no real way of bringing that back. Most MMO's these days do a decent job of providing community within...

Lol.

I have about 17GB worth of ffxi screenshots lol. It's an amazing amount of nostalgia to go through them here's a few I picked at semi-random from levels 60-74 it's great to see everyone playing back in 2004/2005

The social interaction, and more importantly, feeling of responsibility is a big factor for a lot of people. When I ran a dynamis linkshell, I felt an obligation (the shell could run just fine if I wasn't there, nor was anyone forcing me to go other than myself) to show at every run and would...

Even though I quit ffxi a long time ago, it comes up in conversations with friends here and there. One of my friends decided to make this for my birthday =D It's especially cool since she had to figure out what my character looked like since she never played ffxi, and she had to do it without...

I read it! =P For vertical gear progression, what needs to be done is have new content replace maybe 1-2 item slots at most per job with better gear, and cycle it so it's not that your weapon is outdated every few months. The way some other mmo's makes it is so old content is completely...

Ffxi is thriving in the current economy, keeping a steady subscriber rate throughout the economic downturns which happens to also make it one of the most popular games in the industry is pretty much thriving in my book. Secondly, look at all the WoW clones, they're mostly getting nowhere fast...

Uzor was talking in general terms, and he's right, most laws and rights don't apply to citizens, rather "people". The reason for this if I remember was a fear that the goverment may try to revoke citizenship or deny validitiy of someone's citizenship to get around constitutional rights...

You're still missing the part where the last level cap increase was only two months after the NA release date. Considering that there are a substantial amount of NA players currently playing, that would indicate that level cap increases doesn't correspond to population. "Almost 3" is not near...

That explains why everyone who attained lvl75 before 2007 has quit by now! Look at WoW, every time the level cap increases it takes what a month for most people to recap themselves? Increasing the level cap seems to prolong the game by roughly a month or two tops, what -really- prolongs the...

"Looks like we're all passed out at the afterparty expect for sparky"

Part of the consequences is people will compare cheating in game to being a horrible human being =P Your own members have repeatedly done this when it was others that were caught cheating or doing something wrong, and many people's "issues" with your linkshell come from the holier than thou...

I know tons of people who've had 72hr bans (though not for this reason) SE can and does tempban, it was regularly accepted fact that if you got caught with POS/Fleetool/botting, you'd get a 72hr ban for a first offense and perma ban for 2nd offense (some people got multiple temp bans, but that...

Ah ODS, that's what started my gear collection HQ staves, mahatma slops, base money to fund clothcraft, etc... We did that from when those belts were a few hundred K until they were down to 10k lol. Walking around with mule fulls of those belts is awesome. That's a fair opinion, not like there's...
