New server suggestion

[Kabel]

I think it would be totally awesome if SE opened up a brand new server and prohibited people from paid transferring to the server. I think with all the awesome changes SE has implemented over the years (level sync, faster skill ups, fov, increased exp etc...) I think it would be a BLAST for people (those who want to) to go back to the days of eco-warrior and sub job item farming.

I've always wanted to restart, but given the saturated nature of the servers after a decade, it just isn't that much fun. It would be fun to have that 'authentic' FFXI experience again pre-abyssea leaching, combined with all the new awesome changes that have taken place over the course of the ongoing game development.

Thoughts?? I think this would appeal to a lot of people and wouldn't require a lot of work on SE's part.

I don't think it would do well...

pre-abyssea have a boat load of problems also

most notably.. not having access to some higher end fights because you didn't bot hnm's

Would love that. But! I have accomplished too much on my taru for me to even think about redoing ANY of the stuff I have sloughed through the past 7 years again. If my character ever gets lost, I am done.

[Flunklesnarkin]

I think more people are in love with the idea of a fresh start than would actually be willing to give up on their old characters.

Not to mention those who would give up their old characters for a month or 2 just to switch back again.

Plus I've had to restart my characters four times, mostly due to unsatisfactory of character selection. I think I've done Windurst missions 1 to 5 three times on three different characters...

i wish SE "open" a new server where abyssea is restricted to lvl70+ and free transfer players that think aby should be 70+

Honestly, I dont' think you'd get too many people.

i wish SE "open" a new server where abyssea is restricted to lvl70+ and free transfer players that think aby should be 70+

And a new server to put all 6% of the PS2 players on.

They'd need to fix all aspects of beginning the game (tutorials, quests, Rank 1 missions, NPC stores and so on) before they even think about something like that. They'd need to revamp everything to make it more approachable to anyone who isn't a veteran already.
