I am an old time player that stopped about a year ago and was wondering if the game is still alive and kicking. Whats the average daytime population on Quetz? If I played one of my mid level jobs would I be able to find a party? Did SE ever come out with the first-party windower fix? I'm really thinking about coming back to the game so thanks for answering my questions.
How is it still?

Server is still going. I've heard its been rough gtting parties in mid levels, but i guess that also depends on what job you are planning to level.

As for population, it seems like everytime I check its around 1600-1800, but I play kinda between NA and JP primetimes. Pre-37 parties are easy to get because people still level subjobs often, but after that its slim pickings apparently (Though I've had no problem getting parties from 62-67 PLD over the last few weeks). Still no legal windower. Hope that helped.
I'm writing something about the same content everyone was doing 3 years ago that people are still doing to this day.

I dont remember doing Salvage and assaults (and einjerhar though I havent done it yet) 3 years ago.
Seriously dude, you don't have to go camp HNMs if you dont want to. I never really have, just for fun every now and then.

What?
The resets on those things are too long and the gear is pretty sub-par. Sure it might be fun, but it's hard to say for how long with no decent rewards in sight.

I think what Luis is getting at is that items/gear that were available 1, 2, even 3 years ago are still seen as awesome. A counter point to that would be how much harder it is to get some of this gear that it would be upsetting to see it not be as good a few months after obtaining it, but still. . .

1 salvage per day aint enough for ya?
Plus, idk about you, but ares gear is pretty damn hot. Even if the body is beaten by adaberk, its a pretty good alternative. And the rest of the set owns. Anyways, I'm gonna stop derailing now.

Salvage gear is anything but sub-par. Each set has at least 1 stand-out piece that's better than anything else for that job in that slot. Takes a while to get but Salvage is really unique and interesting compared to most events in ffxi.
Well yeah, I should take that back about all Salvage gear being sub-par since there were some pretty ballin' pieces. Still, it's just kind of a let down that there are trash pieces within those sets. Maybe scaling the game a bit higher would take some of that old stuff out of business. I don't know, it's all personal preference really. I just like to see obvious improvements in gear as oppose to smalll increments.

FFXI just doesn't work that way, this has been beaten to death 1000 times, apples, oranges ect.
All 5 Morrigan Pieces are the best in their slot for RDM for at least one of the main RDM functions (MP regen, Enfeebling Accuracy, Enfeebling Potency). All are situational, but pretty much all endgame gear is situational anyway...
Since your taking shots at FF, can i take shots at WoW?
I love how i can spend 20+ hours a week raiding for gear only to have greens replacing it. I love how i can enter ever inn and know EXACTLY where everything is because they just reskin the SAME shit...even the fucking monsters. I love the band of fucking idiots who run around as NE rogues saying GIMMIE GOLD. I love being able to level by spamming one button. I love the OP classes. I love how if you don't have gear your fucking trash. Pre-BC rant: I love how if you didn't have MC gear you couldnt do BWL, if you didn't have BWL you couldnt do Naxx...
I know i am missing something...
I'm not even trying to argue... but if you're trying to take a shot at WoW, and defend FFXI.... why the FUCK would you choose this onem? roflmao.
What in FF did they reskin minus mobs...which they didn't even reskin, just renamed, and SOME gears.

RPGs have reskinned monsters since they've been made. Theres nothing new there. I can't speak for Wow, but FFXI has a nice huge list of different mobs though.
