Let's play together!

I'm on right now. anyone online to hand me a pearl? <- Dariencecil

I'll be on around 1:30am EST so I'll try again then

My 2c here and don't get me wrong, as is.. at this stage I would not pick XI. Just doesn't seem like a temp game. I have not played it in 2 years... But i just can't see it being any less time demanding now then it was when first level cap started to get increased... I rather not get caught with my hand in the cookie jar come ARR (meaning committed to something and 1/2 way in to it)

When they started to raise the level cap is actually when XI got way way LESS time demanding..

Plus I figure we got at least ~5months+ before ARR actually launches, and in the meantime I can have some fun in XI and XIV beta. My hope is that this group from XI starts up a shell or FC for ARR, making for a really good start when ARR does launch.

Just wondering when you guys are on to get a LS?

I found the group on steam as well.

There is literally someone on 24 hours a day. I was surprised even last night that the shell had as many people on as it did considering they had reopened the XIV servers. Plenty of people, plenty of discussion, plenty of opportunity for good times. Just keep trying any of the names listed in the OP.

Sorry Bunka, I'll give it another shot today. Did you try any of the names listed in the OP?

That brought back some memories too..

Anyway I quickly realized that I have no clue how to do much of anything anymore (especially since I lost alllllll my macros lol.. and I had TONS) so looking forward to grouping up with you guys at some point and getting back into it. I am Exnigma, so send me an invite if you see me on :cool:

Where are you located? What's your home town? We can get you a pearl at any time if you /tell any of the names listed in the OP.

I was so stoked when I logged in so many good memories, I missed FFXI. I'm looking to expereance the great story lines again and to complete the ones I have not yet done.

Hoping there is some adventurers on the ls wanting to have some fun.

There are plenty of us, a lot more than I had actually anticipated. There should be anyone available at any time of day to get you a pearl.

It's really only a permanent game if the people you play with are playing it permanently. The shell we started consists primarily of FFXIV: ARR fans so when that goes live I foresee a massive migration. A lot of us are just reactivating characters to experience the storyline from the beginning. I personally am starting fresh on a newly created character but there are certainly a wide array of job levels currently in the shell.

This isn't the first time someone has suggested this. If there's enough interest and we could all coordinate our migration I'd be more than happy to facilitate it. We'll see how things go in the coming months.

hey if a sack holder is online right now, could you /tell me "Xeqtr" thanks

I gotcha from your /tell.

Bumping this for anyone that was wondering about invites but still didn't get an invite yet.

Added a Google+ and facebook for Rapiemur last night. Still accepting people! See you soon.

So I was homeless for 5 weeks due to Hurricane Sandy and while in exile I found FFXI in a partition on my laptop! 2 days of updating and i was in! I dont know much about XI but i'm enjoying it so far. Met a few very nice people but no XIVers yet. Can i join up with you guys?
