Which server has the old school ffxi feel?

[Theplatter]

Just don't go to Melmond. 170-200 at JP prime time= server will be deleted upon merge, and there's very little LS loyalty - most people have like 5 different linkshells and those 5 linkshells have the same people in each lol...

[charlemagne]

I'd say far more people on Selbina played xi than didn't play xi. I can think of only one in my linkshell. I've seen a few characters running around with bismark as their second name I think so it may even be you will run into some old friends here as well as make some new ones. Nobody shouts for a social linkshell for more than a few seconds without offers here so give that a try. People here are friendly too, just yesterday a new player was asking for help finding stuff in uldah and soon had three different players chasing around town helping her. I rerolled here from Besaid a few weeks after the servers opened and I really like it here on Selbina.

I almost put Bismarck as my last name and since i'm only 20 I might delete it and rename it modz bismarck lol idk yet. I like the Bismarck idea, HAIL BISMARCK ha... Anyhow I do appriciate all the information and feedback I really do and I will do what everyone suggested and give it a little more time.

Again my IGN atm is Modz Mcgee feel free to send a /tell or friend request sometime. If I decide to make another toon i'll probably keep modz mcgee as my secondary / mule. lol it only took me a full day to hit lvl20 solo and i messed around a good part of that day. So it's not a big deal to start another one with Bismarck as my last lol.

the only problem with grid is, that you go on and on and on with that narrow winding area never to see that beautiful plush open area or a REAL looking forest (besides a few open areas here and there).

You should go to east shroud (nine ivies region). That's the only part of the shroud that is really open and looks like a huge forest, though you still walk narrow paths

btw hows the maint update times? Are they like ffxi old school where you never really know when they would be up and going again or are they more accurate with the time frames of when the servers will be back up and running again?

Thanks, I seen the area you are referring to and you're right but ugh, I just don't and never have liked those type of maps/zones in any game. During my first 2 days on Selbina I soloed to 20, did very little crafting and decided to do some exploring. IDK but every mmo I always seem to want to explore area's and or find things including but not limited to bugs and or map glitches lol... I don't do it to cheat I do it more or less when I'm bored and want to find something interesting i guess idk.

I have yet to find any game that I was not able to find glitches in. I am not talking about glitches everyone knows about, I am talking about glitches that I randomly find. and NO I do not exploit them and or use them for w/e reasons. Whenever I randomly stumble onto one I kind of laugh and as long as it's not something destructive or could harm the economy of the game then ill normally tell my friends to check it out. Most of the time it's graphic or map glitches and or funny little Easter eggs.

Maintenance usually a little under three hours. Should be up 3:00 pm pst / 6:00 pm edt.

[modz]

so in about a hour and half huh?

Yups! Maybe less (by like 10 to 15 minutes).

I keep hearing Besaid has some funny/friendly events going on all the time ( as in almost daily ) and I have seen some of the videos lol. Is this something that happens often or just randomly with random ls's i wonder?
