    @ xat. That isn't true about ffxi. they had 1 server merge well before abysea was launched. And not a ton of ppl quit during after it launched either. The game was slowly dieing out. People got most of what they wanted and left. Or other "more fun" games were launched. Also it was 500K >> 1-2 mil >>> then trickled down after WoW launched. Abyssea was a pretty big hit with players, and this was proven by ffxi having to fix congestion issues in port jeuno on all the servers. And only a handful of servers are merging. It isn't like they all are. All SE wanted to do was make ffxi more accessable. One major flaw with ffxi was looking for a party in general was a time sink. It should not take a player 6-12hrs to form or get a party. And they were running out of ways to fix it. Abyssea isn't all that bad. And the story line is pretty good. Just sucks I can't play it.

    You've convinced me, lets make this XI!!!!!

    Really I'm serious, I'm sure I could find myself laughing my head off watching people make a group for 12 hours.

    This was due from people requiring certain party set ups Or needing people to join before they joined. (which was stupid)

    I can't tell you how many times I tried forming a part after waiting 3 hours to be invited into one, only for ppl to say or ask

    p1: do you have a rdm, brd, cor?
    me: not yet
    p1: then ask me when you do?
    p2: how many member you got?
    me: justy me atm
    p2: invite me when you get 4--5 others
    p3: do you have a tank?
    me: not yet
    p3: invite me when you have a tank.

    Sorry the but ffxi players started to get chips on their shoulds or bad attitudes for petty reasons. Pretty much becoming premadonna (sp). Heck after a While I just duoed with my bf at the time (now my ex) or solo'ed fov pages. Which I ended up being a reason for nearly quiting.

    4 Tweeked mob locations
    5 increased exp
    6 exp rings
    7 better buffs from signet, sigil, the past one inclusing exp loss from ko is reduced.

    Yeah, this is what I do when I get invited to a party with me and the other person:

    Player: Party do you need it?
    Me: Yes Please
    ... Player invites me
    Player: Hey Im still looking for players mind waiting?
    Me: Sure I have no problem
    Me in Real life Cooks dinner/watches tv/browsing the web anything to occupy my time
    Player <call5> ok were ready
    Me: *snort* oh were ready YAY!
    Party gets ready to depart

    This is how it should have gone except you can do what you want in your spare time lol

    but people want to do things in the snap of there fingers lol
