I've already gone back to FFXI once and then left it again. I can't see myself ever going back. Here's to hoping that MWO beta and War Z alpha can hold me until AAR.
Going back to FFXI

FFXIV just does something for me that XI and WoW and other MMOs didn't, even despite it's shittyness. -

PLed a couple of days and... there you go.
It was not only me, it was also my husband *laughs* -

Been playing like 2 days, and I find it quite enjoyable for fresh starter here. Taking my leisure time to watch chocobo race. XD
And those who says can quick lvl up, it's possible if u're a returning. But for someone who really starting this game (as in really never played this game before), I doubt can quick lvl that fast. ;D -

Some of my friends went back to FFXI. I've entertained the idea of joining them, but it turns out I can't, because I've lost my password. I can't reset it until I merge my FFXI and SE accounts, and to do this I need to enter - that's right - the very same password.
I've contacted support about this, and they said I should provide either four numbers from my credit card or the code I've used to create FFXI account. Now, it's been forever since I've played that game, the card I've used to pay for it has long since expired and I can't find the goddamn box.
In short, I am f@#$%d. -

can't they let you update your payment method and check your email validity?
Meanwhile... any familiar face on Bahamut? Only got me and 1 buddy here. XD -

That's a terrifying thought... Going back to xi would be like going back to high school and recognizing everyone... And then having that awkward conversation about where you've been... Yeah no.

Have fun reinstalling it... it only takes like.... ALL DAY

11-06-2012, 02:14 AMOrophinThat's a matter of opinion. I stopped playing 5 years ago to pick it back up again recently, and it's refreshing to be able to log in and actually accomplish something, rather than sitting around for hours on end waiting for an xp group.Quote:

I'll just buy whatever high level gear is available and go from there. -
11-06-2012, 02:28 AMelreedLOL, just bought FFXI, and it took several hours to be installed and the best part, when i was ready to start playing the game needed an update that took like 7hrs, why do they sell the latest collection without the updates included?Quote:

So... no one from Sargatanas in Bahamut here? Feels lonely... ; ;
BTW, just made into Jueno and joined a LS. They're kinda really nice to show me around, even as far as switching 5 maps for levelling tour. Tho the whole information I got just kinda a bit overwhelming and made me realize that 14 in experience term is like a baby compared with 11. XD
Saw Atomos on the way to Jueno, which surprisingly really looked alike the one we got here. Met gobbue too, kinda same, but feeling down when I heard these gob cannot be ridden at all. ;D
Been comparing notes between 14 and 11, figured I can speed learn things in 11 that way. XD
