So any server suggestions, OR suggestions to maybe help me enjoy the server I am at before I decided to reroll again?

Besides, not having things in this game just because they're in WoW would be a guaranteed failure. XIV doesn't need to be a WoW clone but borrowing ideas couldn't hurt.

I mean, WoW peaked at what -- 15 million subscribers? Currently about 11 million. XI peaked at 500,000. XIV should be XIV but the devs shouldn't hesitate to borrow what works from other games. Obviously WoW just had more of "what worked."

Not to get off topic lol, but I agree with Sephrick on this. No real FF or FFXI player want's this game to be like WoW. Now like he mentioned there is nothing wrong with borrowing from a game especially if it was as successful as it was. Just because a few idea's may of been borrowed from another game does NOT turn it into another WoW Clone.

As for the old school FFXI players, or at least my own opinion ( and I am an old school ffxi player ). I don't want to see a FFXI clone either, however I would love to see some of the FFXI things added back into the game. ATM I am actually lost in the game. I am no game,mmo, or ffxi newbie by any means BUT FFXIV does have me feeling like one with how much things has changed and or how different it is from other MMO's.

I love the new changes so far, even though im lost on some of it and I can not wait for the things to come. However, right now my first few days impressions on 2 different servers is mixed. The game can be very intimidating in regards to the mechanics especially if you compare it to the old ffxi or any other mmo for that matter. Running around the huge world seem's very strange. I mean I run and run and run and I see people from time to time now that I switched servers but most of the people i see are all doing solo leveling or gathering. The mobs are spread out so weird on this game it sort of gives it a dead or empty feel to it.

I can run and run and run at times and hardly see any mobs or people for that matter with the same scenary at each turn. IDK almost feels like they just randomly dumped mobs in locations with out any strategic thought in the placement or with the dead space in between camps. Now on the other hand. The mob level locations are also strangly done. At one corner you have idk levels 10-15 ish give or take and then right around the corner there is mid to high 20's or even higher at times. That part of it just seem's strange. The old ffxi and most other mmo's the mobs level rangers were sectioned off more or less in different zones or regions. ehhh I could go on and on and on but im sure most of it has been touched on before so no need for me to beat a dead horse.


Yea sooo uhhhh any suggestions to the actually topic though ha...
