Here is FFXI update history dated back way before it launch on launch

http://z4.invisionfree.com/HCII/ar/t2095.htm

okay? what's the point of posting that here?

Yeah I just posted that on my FB LOL. And the sad thing is...everyones like FFXI SUCKED WHEN IT CAME OUT TOO IT TOOK A YEAR TO GET GOOD!!!11one

But...as you can see, FFXI had a MAJOR PATCH EVERY MONTH! XD FFXIV is slackin!

I suspect they're going to do the same thing with this game 1st level increase, make a really steep climb

Omg this stuff is pure gold. It shows how much the genre has changed over the last decade!

I think people need to get over the past and move on.

"Hey, how long are you gonna hide under your mama's skirt?"

Macro'ing this, lol.

So you're telling me this game will be like FFXI-2 sooner or later?

That was quite entertaining. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for posting that :3

HALP! I'M BEING CHASED BY MULTIPLE ENEMIES AT <pos>.

Because it was so broken that it took that much to make it even playable.

Back when gaming was good and not just for everyone. I much prefer it go back to being for a niche market. Least it was <X Reasons why I think gaming of the past was better>!

back in the day ... @_@;;;

From what I read most of the early ones did not even add any content.. Looks more like the tiny balancing patches we have had this far than "real" content adding pathes..

[*]"Auto group" was added, though because it never worked, it was deemed useless since the implementation.

This feature would make its return on FFXIV: ARR, under the new name of Duty Finder.

O the memories , One good thing that came from it though was , That many of those early adapters of people that played FFXI at it early times went on to make. There own mmos and took what they learn from them days and improved on it, Some it bad and some it great. Much like EQ old school players from that time.

They had a major reason to have major patches once a month till it got on it's feet. ( It was THAT bad). FFXIV ARR is way better in comparison to early FFXI days ( Launch)

Ah memories of that game. But patching those early days was the dark ages. Now patching every 3 months seems to be the standard.

You can't be bringing back these to show people that FFXI wasn't as good as FFXIV, it's different times, different games, different gamers. You should also know that not FFXIV or any other new mmo will ever give the amount of fun that FFXI gave to that time gamers. I feel bad for anyone who didn't play FFXI cause they missed a true mmorpg game. Today mmo = solo to cap in few days(the mmo part is just for rude chat) and this market is not for real gamers like it was it's for the facebook users or for the candy crush players.

By real gamerz you mean teenagers with no responsabilities.

Played FFXI from when i was 25-35 and I don't think that's my teens.

It was a good read and it put things in perspectives with our current FFXIV game.
