I am curious, do you think you could still play ffxi with a group of close friends who also still would like to play it the "old fashioned way"

The way we all enjoyed it. I loved it at Chains of Promethia release after that the content started maknig it lame {imo only}.

What I mean is, if say you and Rolkien and some of the gang who really miss the OLD FFXI, do you think you could go play it and just ignor all the content you don't like?

Like ignor Abyssia, and Level sync and all that jazz, and just make a linkshell that all plays in the same playstyle?

I know some changes can't be ignored. Like the way they changed beastmaster and ranger and dragoon etc etc etc. But it would still be fun.

I dunno just a thought I had.
