I'm still not quite sure you request though, you just want a server on FFXI, that only plays as it did before a certain time? So DEVs would have to restructure everything to the way it once was (idk how much work that involves). Seems like it would be more hassle than it's worth. I'm sorry you don't feel FFXIV:ARR will ever truly develop, and I'm not saying "GO BACK TO XI!!" because I hate when people use that reply as well... but why even bother with XIV:ARR then and stay here blathering on about XI if you really don't see any hope for XIV:ARR?

I do see hope for FFXIV:ARR, I think it will continue on for many years. So many people fail to realize it's barely been 1 year now since the release of FFXIV:ARR not "FFXIV", but FFXIV:ARR. FFXI was only out little over a year before RoZ came to be, and NA got it's hands on it. There was hardly any content at all! So many NA's just remember NA launch with RoZ, but for the JP (and those who played with JP import) just had very little to do, there was even a level 50 cap! Give XIV:ARR some time to truly flesh out into a good game. Give it time for the expansion to come out and see where the system is then. I can't tell you or anyone how to enjoy a game or how to use your spare time. I just find it odd if people have such hang ups with a game why the continue to stay, especially if they see no hope. /shrug
