Classic Server

[Natasha]

With the fact that this is far from the first post on this subject, I wonder if the reps have taken this back to the devs and if they even for a moment stopped to consider it or even have their finance ppl take a look to see if it would be feasible.

One can only hope we can get a community rep to come in and give a clear yes or no on the issue.

But for realsies, theres a very low chance

Nothing wrong with trying is there?

Likes are a good way to draw attention and thats exactly what I wan't to do, draw a community rep or dev reply.

Hello, this is a thread intended for direct feedback to the devs/community team (as there is no way that I am aware of to send feedback directly) not meant to be a topic of debate.

Too bad

I would like to request that, if possible, the devs make available one FFXI server that is set to an earlier patch date. Specifically, the furthest along patch when the level cap was 75 before the addition of the back to back repeatable grounds of valor/fields of valor (as book burns are against the idea of the 'classic' experience).

But for realsies, theres a very low chance, probably the ballpark chance of 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%, that SE will ever release a "Final Fantasy XI Classic!" server. But ya know, probability and such, I'm sure theres a universe out there that has a FFXI classic server officialy sanctioned by SE, but you'll probably have more luck inventing a machine that lets you travel to alternate realities, finding the one with the FFXI Classic server, killing your duplicate and taking over their life, than you do of SE releasing a FFXI Classic server.

However, in the interest of helping you, you can actually find a good deal of "Private" servers that have stuff like this. Swing over to BG and check out their FFXI section, theres a few there that let you do this. some of them are kinda popular too.

Please support and like

note: Please stop speaking as to the developers limitations as I highly doubt you or anyone in here knows the details of them. If you're wrong about the developers limitations then you are just spreading useless misinformation, if you are right about them then we still end up with nothing because it is unconfirmed and unofficial. Let the devs speak for themselves should they choose to, its not your responsibility as a member of the community to do so.

Ha... hahaha... ha... my lungs are bleeding after this.

Seems players like you are just out to stop any possible chance of things such as a classic server from happening, i mean seriously what do people like you (those who enjoy current ffxi) lose from SE actually creating a server for those who prefer the old classic ffxi? IMO all you types just hop on here just to mock others and dont really post anything worth while.

What? Do I just laugh at this post? I think that's the point of a post like this right? Even more so, what was mentioned in this post, anyone with half a brain knows those things you mention aren't even close to the classic experience, let alone fully functional.

I'd agree with this only if no server transfers were allowed to it. It'd be unfair to be able to bring in a character fully grinded through the post-abyssea exploits. All back to level 1, people.

First off, I do want to say that this is a cool idea. I would love to party with people again in the traditional manner. However, I Think it would be risky on their part. A lot of people keep saying, "what if it works, it will be great. People would come back to the game and everything would be awesome." However, no one asks the question of "What if it doesn't work." It would most likely cost them a lot of money. And if it does not work, it could possibly spell the end for ffxi. I would also like to throw out there that they were losing players while the cap was still at 75. Which is why they did a server merge. I believe they did the server merge on the exact update that Abyssea and level 80 cap was introduced.

Now, a little off topic here, but this is directed towards Jblauh. I honestly can't believe you have the nerve to call someone else in these forums an idiot or an asshole when you seem like the biggest one of them all (which also makes you a hypocrite). Let me ask you, does it make you feel like a big man to threaten people left and right to kick there ass over the internet. See there is a name for something like that. It is called "Cyber Bullying." You should look it up. Keep in mind I am not trying to start something with you. You may not even realize what you are doing, but I figured I would point it out.

I have considered the impact and I think it would be minimal if done smartly. I've already suggested the idea that, considering pops on current servers are small that they do a merge and use one of the servers people were merged out of to make this classic server. So there would be no added server costs, just the time it takes to set up the server which could vary a bit but I don't think its something that SE can't handle even if the project were a failure which I don't think it will be.

Your second paragraph... not helping, don't pick a fight.

[mattkoko]

You could be right. Like I said, I think it is a cool idea. I could also see the dev team seeing it as risky if it does cost them a lot money. Right now FFXI is bringing them steady income and I can see them not wanting to risk everything when they are still getting something out of it

As far as my second paragraph goes, maybe I got a little out of hand, but I also feel it was important to point out that he is being a cyber bully. Though I don't agree with everything Zachery and Draylo say, I have never seen them threaten to beat the crap out of someone through the computer. I will behave though lol
