After taking a couple months off due to the death of my FC, I decided to try coming back tonight, but hit a major snag. Wanting to get away from a toxic environment on my current server and start over with a fresh crowd, I found that the transfer service would not let me move without losing most of my gil. It was enough that I had to disband my rank 5 FC, which I had worked so hard on, but losing the millions of gil I had saved since 1.0 just to get away from a toxic environment--a move that would have cost me $$, too--it was just too much.

You've created a fun world with 2.x. I loved all the quests, dungeons, and solo content. I'm sure all the upgrades I've missed have been great. I regret that I'll miss future expansion areas--one of my favorite parts of FFXI. I'm going to miss the Final Fantasy brand, but at this point, I'm done with online games and consoles. Thanks for the years of fun (as frustrating as most of it was with the online communities)... starting from FFI.
