Server Jump Campaigne (half price etc)

I like Valefor.

Not at all true. In fact, you're forced to accept what you get. Shout an hour to put together a Rei NM.. You get to the point you don't even want to /check the guy who finally replies.

Literally: Beggars can't be choosers.

Personally, I find it very true. I've been on shiva since i started playing not long after the game came out in the US. It's not the biggest server and never was but I don't care. I have a great time and I have good friends who do stuff. I don't usually even need to shout for randoms.

I usually just don't shout for randoms for anything reasonably difficult. I don't mind pugging, and I love helping, but if there's something remotely capable of killing me, I wait for reliable people to log on.

Before I quit a few years ago, I used to shout all the time but it's something i regret these days. WHMs that can't watch status effects or party chat, BLMs that continually try to burst Thunder off Darkness, Paladins that think all you need to win this game is Aegis and Ochain/Priwen (or my favorite: paladins that will insist you cannot block while not engaged) and people that don't wear a spec of -dt gear and die very very quickly to aoes.

If you can't tell, the experience has soured me. I can't wait for SE to put my friends and I on a reasonably active server. Yeah, I'll miss that crab camp is free 50% of the time on Valefor, but that's about it.

Low pop servers like Valefor have some good upsides, but some HUGE downsides. I love that I can go almost anywhere and NEVER have to interact with another player. I love that I can go kill something, without seeing a dbag and his trust killing as slow as humanly possible. I love that the BC areas are never crowded. I love the cheap prices on things, due to the garbage economy.

However the downsides are MASSIVE. The dragons, I need, I literally cannot get the kills, unless I'm up at 4am. WKRs, exactly like thy were in 2014, tree takes 3 hours, miserable. I can't even find someone to sell me the gear I need for 10m (for easy shit that a sch could solo). There is NO auction house, none, it doesn't exist, there are no players to fill it. I've seen entire 24 hour spans where not a single shout happened.

There are 2 ffxi's, and I've played both. The one where you play with competent players and you accomplish everything. and the one where you're forced to slum it up with shouts. And that one absolutely blows. I'd rather buy it than deal with shouts, or have no shouts to even try.

It's a NEED, not a want, to change servers. It's GONNA happen regardless, I just prefer, that it not cost me $40.

Meh who am I kidding, I'd rather just quit, coming back was a mistake. Suckered in by the promise of shiney things.

I like that there's lots of unclaimed mobs on Leviathan. That is my idea of heaven!
