Did you know that in the Asura server there is another myrrh? Everyone who was from quetz often asks him if its you but he says its not and that he gets it a lot.
 
Why are former Quetzy people on Asura instead of Quetzy? :P

That's fucking awesome. I love that I've touched so many lives.

Because Quetz was one of the worst servers in every flippin' category when things still mattered, or better put, when things took effort.
 
Really? How so?
 
Seriously, Ell? Quetz is terrible and has next to no skill. Quetz is primarily a drama server, that's it. And having been to other servers, I can say that for certain.

Try doing a PuG on Quetz for ANYTHING. Watch the amount of work it takes to get started and finish. Go to another server, do the same. So much faster, smarter, and better.

Not bashing the drama. After being here for so long and trying other servers, I find the lack of it super dull.

That's why i i don't do PUGs >.> The lack of focus and skill on this server is 0. Its disgusting trying to do anything. I did an Isgebind run and had 3 ppl afk right as we got there not helping farm TE or anything while me[duoboxing] and another thf claim NM for KI and the other sat there till we was done and ready to pop. That's when they were there awake and focus when all the hard work is done. People just want to spoon fed everything now a days to little to no effort anymore.
 
In my experience it's a fairly minor difference between Quetz and other servers, to be honest.

People have just gotten incredibly lazy everywhere.

One of the big things for me to get used to after my jump to Sylph in ye olden days, for example, was how incredibly undisciplined everything was. Dynamis in particular; iiZerg (which was in the top 5 LS in the game at the time) did runs where the sloppiness would have appalled Audino, but we had so much firepower that we could fuck around and still kill every mob in the zone.
 
Simply put, we weren't a server filled with pioneers. Hardly a blip on the radar. Attempted AV? Others discovered the wall of justice for an early kill. 30 hour, or however long it was, Pandemonium Warden attempt? Certainly not on Quetz. The only thing I can honestly give any credit for, is Kaizen breaking Ixion's horn. Then other servers started tanking it with melee while we turtled it up with the classic Paladin tanking setup. Modus Veritas exploit to deal upwards of 60,000 damage before the level cap rose, haha, yeah not on Quetz.

This server had never seen a dominate NA linkshell in the Aery until synchronized botters came along, shortly after they opened world transfers. They saw us as a sitting duck. Our #1 NA LS was adamantly against cheating? Easy pickings.

But hey, I won't give them all the credit.

At least our RMT weren't camping Tiamat, like on Asura where they ran wild.
 
Ah, see I've never been to the other servers so I can't compare Quetzy to any other and have no idea how our server compared to others in terms of player skill or behavior. But when I came back to FFXI and compared it to Other MMOs, holy crap is it refreshing XD quetzy might be bad compared to other FFXI servers (according to you guys), but compared to other MMOs? The community is way better and people have a better understanding of how to play in this game than others. So it seems less bad to me :P
 
Was still a good time, we were just the last server, Hades aside, anyone wanted anything to do with when the mergers started and for good reason.
 
Well, being a Midgard transplant, I don't know how much I can say. Tho yes, I know most people found our asshats first..Asshats tend to be louder and more visible. Nice players tend to be more in the background.

The merge did bring some history with it, so don't know if it improved it any. Midgard was where most of the PS2/PC beta players went to; had one of the oldest HNM shells (Valor/Virtus/Eightbit) tho that's gone, and I admit, I heard of some drama/botting too. I wasn't involved in a lot of HNM by choice; got to hate camping nms pretty early on. We had some really good players too, some have worldshifted/quit but some are still there. The trouble is finding them, b/c as I said, nice players tend to stay more in the background. Can't say much about PUGs b/c I mostly did stuff with CTY back then(plus there wasn't a lot to PUG back then), tho I had a good record of finding good PUG xp/merit groups before the merge.

I think people have just gotten lazy, I sure have lately. Been mostly doing Legion and Salvage and also helping a friend of mine get her armor done in Abyssea (she's down to the last two pieces to +2 now; if her RL cooperates we should have that done in a couple more weeks) and once Dem and Klaital get the expansion we're planning on doing missions in that. May be doing NQ Nyzul to help yet another person get Floor 100 until that pair get it. ^^ (They had a rl move to deal with and are having to budget the money for 2 copies of the expansion, so I'm not putting any pressure on them at all to get; I'm thinking the first missions could be soloed anyway.)
