Fabul - a small community in Thanalan

[Vackashken]

I also chose Fabul for low population and I don't regret it at all. There's no serious drama; people aren't trying to monopolize NMs; good level up spots are frequently available; etc. I know the M stands for Massively but I feel a better sense of community being able to know a larger percentage of the people I see around me.

Thats ptretty much why we chose it too. There would be more to share. The only thing is (speaking for me) it just seems so barren out there now. I'm not talking about in the sense of LSes (because there are people in them) but in just seeing another living soul as you move from point A to point B.

You basically have to go to Ul Duh for that lol.

I've noticed a decrease in players, but it isn't surprising. I'm also a bit disheartened that nearly a portion of my shell mates have suddenly stopped logging on. Real life obligations, issues, and whatnot can and do pop up - understandable - but nonetheless, as I've already said: disheartening. As of now I am patiently awaiting the PS3 launch just so we can see a fresh set of new faces and names.

I did the same as well stuck to a small server, joined a linkshell met some cool people. There really is no competition or drama between players, basically Fabul is like Cheers.. Everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came.. alot of people have left but for the most part I didn't even know them hah hah ha

I enjoy the smaller servers. I enjoy smaller everythings. <50 LS sizes, small but friendly communities.. It creates that sense OF community.

I get it from FFXI where I crave my old LS.

We were a small group of maybe 16 daily players... we wern't "hardcore" but we did quest daily.. and when I say quest I don't mean we did quests (obviously quests aren't all that abundant in FFXI like they are in other MMOs) but we as a group had objectives to get this AF armour piece, or kill this NM, complete that mission, get this job, or craft that item. And as a group we'd hit the road trecking together with light RP (we made heavy use of emotes, and really didn't talk much about real world things. We each had our roles in the group.. we weren't a heavy RP LS by any means we just played the game to it's fullest)... We were in no rush to reach the end game. Over the two years our LS was together, most of us didn't get more than 1 job capped but every day we played together was FUN..

And it wasn't that all 16 of us were all together all the time... Me and my Taru Taru partner in crime did our own thing a lot, while the rest of the group had their own little parties they were seperate into. But we were all a family none the less.

I miss them.. I miss that experience.. I want that small dedicated LS again who's focus isn't Raiding or Leveling or Roleplaying but simply PLAYING the game SE has blessed us with...

/end sappy monologue

We were a family and we had other LS alliances we interacted with and it was probably the best MMO experience I ever had. The experience

With that said....I feel the players who are in the same Guild or Group should not be restricted to Raiding all the time. Games like WOW and Rift have that style. This Game has it's own uniqueness in gameplay It takes a person with great patience to skill up trades and get materials for crafting. I think there is a mature contingent of players who have that patience. Also this in this game you can join any group with the Linkshell which gives you (the player) freedom of choice. I like my freedom in life and in gameplay. But if I'm in Guild/Group, I give my all to help others.
