well but they could have a done a quest where they tell you why the chocobos numbers were limited, like a great treat on them and you had to do a few objectives, like rescuing from beastman strogholds, killing predators that are really hard to kill, i dont know but something that makes you feel that you have accomplish something, like you can rent a chocobo, but if you want one for your own you need to do that quest that needs several r30 ppls to complete or just a few r50's to complete.


So the new guys will have a goal to focus on since the begining, i remember when i first came to FFXI it was like 3years online already, and seeing my friend renting chocobos and i couldnt, made me had a goal to get it so when i was leveling i was thinking in all that juicy stuff that was there but i needed to do lots of things before getting those so at the end you could taste all the hard work after achieving your goals.


I agree that we need stuff like that so even hardcore and casuals will have a good time
