Did you play XI during the advent of Hades and Remora? Wealth isn't the only thing that can destroy a new world lol.

Basically this is what happened:
Outcasts (people with bad reps and etc) flooded onto the new world and created havok for the poor new people who joined on that world (basically max level crafters controlled everything and people were forced to buy off NPCs)
Linkshells who were tired of competition moved to it, which many other linkshells with the same idea moved to it, since fresh world and new people won't be in end-game scene for months.
This made these 2 new world uninhabitable for new players for the longest, so just having a lot of gil won't really do much to a new world compared to other factors because the greedy nature of humans always rears its head when there's a fertile opportunity to make a fortune off other's misfortune lol.
sorry to correct you, but that is incorrect. it was 16 total. 8 local leves and 8 regional leves for a total of 16 leves every 36 hours. now they are combined and there is 4 leves total every 12 hours. that ads up to 12 total leves every 36 hours.
math states 16>12
you are only counting either regional or local leves and completely leaving the other aspect out. it was 8 of each for a total of 16.
first let me apologize on the snide comment. i'm so use to people just stating false claims to troll others i took it that way and responded in kind. it was uncalled for.
but ,yeah, originally you got 8 regional and 8 local leves every 36 hours. it would only be 8 if you only did the regional for the battle classes so it would seem like more, but for those of us that did both local and regionals it was a reduction.
that was part of the leve counter changes was that they combined local and regional leves into the same number. they were completely separated. it was nice when you were grinding crafts that you could do both at the same time and not effect the other.
It's no problem. I just laugh everything off in these forums.
On topic: Ah. It hardly affects me as I'm always hovering at around 70 leve allowances. XD
That sounds like serious blowies. Hopefully the "temporaryness" (I can make up words!) of the measure takes this into account before people go all fee-fi-fo-fum on the MWs.
