I wish I could just burn this thread to the ground. I've never seen Ul'dah or the community more active than since 1.18 with groups forming for XP parties at all level ranges.

While the patch wasn't perfect, it was by far the best thing to happen to this game to date. Some people complain about anything, but the revitalization of XP parties were a wonderful and necessary addition to the game.

Other MMO's should take notes, this is how you foster a good community in your game.
