this is a great idea and i'm going to get my old ffxi buddies to sign this petition!

I just realized... You would need to make sure WotG isn't included, since its updates bring you smack dab into the middle of the level cap increase (the reward earring is lvl 90).

As stated originally, the point I would like the server locked at would be the last patch before abyssea (and/or before fields of valor/grounds of valor was repeatable back to back, I remember this was added right around the same time but it may have been slightly before abyssea and it needs to not be on the server). So everything up to that point is ok, sadly wings would just have to be in with an incomplete storyline unless extra work was to be put in to add it back but scaled down to a lvl 75 which I am not willing to ask for at the moment and push my luck.

And what about all the clear improvements that have been made? like checking prices of the items you want to sell on the AH? things like home points added on maps, trusts, new jobs, gearswap macros, menu improvements, getting around, increased inventory size, tied AH, some HMN's are now pops and more i expect i have forgotten.

There are many things i miss about the old FF11, but in many ways it always was a bit backwards and had a lot of un-needed fat. And if this happened i really doubt you would get as many people as you think you will.

Well for one, I imagine a lot of people who want this kind of server haven't even stuck around to notice your improvements. I personally don't consider most of them improvements, such as your quick travel. Sure, for you maybe you don't care about it at this point but I never hated the travel and actually enjoyed it from time to time. Right now the game suffers the same problem ffxiv does, you just teleport everywhere and it removes the worldliness of the game. To explain, I felt a lot of the improvements broke immersion and turned ffxi from a fantasy world into an 'arcade' if you will (you just pick your activity shoot there and jump to the next activity) which is not what I look for in my rpgs. There are other kinds of games that do that kind of thing better imo, I come to rpgs to get into their worlds.
