    Didn't XI do something along the lines of a classic server that provides the gameplay as was during Chains of Promathia or ToAU? Just curious.

    Personally speaking, there is nothing XI can do to get me play it or any variation of it. The nostalgia runs too deep, and there isn't anything other than erasing my memory and time traveling that would bring back the same enjoyment I experienced back then. We're talking almost 20 years ago now, sheesh! Such a different time back then with both the mmo genre, as well as myself.

    No, only private servers are offering a "classic" XI experience.

    "Classic" because they are ultimately still reverse engineered info on things like magic and weaponskill damage calculations. The most popular one right now, its padded numbers notwithstanding, radically altered Job Trait level acquisition, resulting in Thief getting Triple Attack and Dual Wield innately at level 30. This, along with a slew of other changes caused a ridiculous meta within it.

    They also had some race to 75 thing where the people seriously doing it were mainly people already in on the creation and maintenance of said private server, so it was rigged from the word go.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
