just chiming in here, i recently have been feeding my ffxi itch. last week i installed bootcamp on my mac, installed windows 7, then steam had ffxi for $10 or so, so i said what the hell. since ARR wasn't coming out soon i installed which was rather painless except for the 12 hour update while i slept. i checked ffxiAH to see the most populated servers and decided on shiva server since it was up there, although quetz was intriguing it was about 10,000 active somewhere in the middle of the populations. once in game i admit after 4 days it was very quick to accomplish basics, party 2 jobs to 50, get sub job quest done, and rank 4 in sandy. as far as leveling, with emperor band, and level sync parties in gusgen mines it is extremely fast. i suddenly hit a wall. i need genkai 5 limit break. i did join a nice shell but everyone is basically end game doing abbyssea. so the days of finding a party for every level range seems to be over, since after level 30 the sync parties happen in abbysea. i want to start cop zm missions but cant do it alone. the persons that want to join me say i need a 75 job. so yeah after firing through for 4 days i dont see me doing anything end game anytime soon especially with a new expansion coming out, will widen that gap between me and end game. i miss my old account. i guess ill just screw around until ARR, which me and the wife intend to play together.
