Abyssea ruined FFXI ?

[Kits]

Hi, I just recently came back to FFXI after a few years hiatus. I really didnt have much time to play before the servers shut down.. >>;, i was actually in the middle of the abyssea quest when they shut it down.

Now, I've never been to abyssea, but from the start it looked like the new update was awesome, but now that I'm reading about it, you can get from like 30 to 65 in one day? thats insane... thats almost, no fun. I've been looking around and everyone has like 10 level 90 jobs..

So the question i ask,
Has abyssea ruined FFXI?

Don't listen to anyone, experience the game for yourself.

I havent had an opinion yet.. just been doin research on my own since i have all the time in the world now..

It all depends on how you play and what you want from the game.

All abyssea has done is made leveling faster and very nice gear attainable by everyone if they are willing to put effort in it. It's still the same thing as old, you still need to farm for stuff. Just much more easier with less ppl.

Abyssea has ruined the game for those who enjoyed afking for 4-6hrs in whitegate with their flag up, that is all.

Also, while the content of this thread appears innocent, your title is propagandist and very inappropriate.

I returned to the game 2 months ago from a 3 year break. It was confusing at first but after a week (and a lot of reading about abyssea) it was very enjoyable. I do not spend to much time in alliances, I either go solo or 3-4 of use go get things done. The fast lvls are a big change to get used to but you will learn very fast who is good at the game still or who is just there to get all jobs lvl 90 & do nothing else..

Welcome back, I am sure you will be hooked very fast & thinking that the abyssea idea was good in thought but poorly executed lol

Oh did I mention new AF3 shinies for all the jobs you love to play with ^^.

The game is what you make of it. Hang out with friends, make new ones, explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations..... sorry geek moment there. The point is the game is going to be as fun as you make it.
