Hard Mode Servers

You know what would be awesome? Hard mode servers!

• You don't get tele and mount until 30 or something like that and they're locked behind a difficult quest
  
• tele's use anima like in 1.0 instead of gil
  
• certain areas of the maps are filled with dangerous mobs
  
• all world mobs in general are much tougher but also give higher exp giving people the option to grind old school style.
  
• you have to run to a dungeon to enter it
  
• NO DUTY FINDER
  
• And other similar difficulty increases.

I'm sure many people would happily move to a server like this and it would let different types of players get what they want.

Feel free to post anything you would like to see on a hard mode server, I'm interested to hear what kind of difficulty increases people would enjoy.

i would love to see a wipe till you beat it group there is nothing more hardcore then that.

and how many players would actually actively play on the "hard mode server?"

what I've noticed is that its easy to bash a game for being casual and being "easy" but its a whole different story when you ask the same players to walk the talk.

we had it in 1.0 and it was chaotic

How so? wasn't around for 1.0 and wasn't aware of what happened.

Nah, I rather like where I am. I'm just here to see how many people are in support of this idea. If there's enough number of players to convince SE to go out of their way to make a specially customized server for.

Do you know what would be abandoned in under a week? Hard mode servers!


PS
Duty finder and walking aren't hard things they are conveniences. Time consuming isn't difficulty.

It was hard to keep playing it. I failed. :(
