Which server has the old school ffxi feel?

Trabia server is pretty nice. I'm an old school XI players as well and it feel kinda the same to me in some ways. Plus I have an Ls I could let you join.

Hey guys,

Yes I am a NEW returning player from the beta days. Much like many other's I stopped playing and just recently came back to try things out and get into it before the 2.0 launch later in the year. So far I am really liking the new changes and I think ill be sticking around for the long haul. Sure I am a old school player from ffxi - server - Bismarck ign modz but all honestly this game is very new to me. Even though I been playing just about every mmo off and on for a very long time, ffxiv is def a whole new thing. I almost feel like a newbie playing my very first mmo all over again (sort of ).


I am seeking out a server that reminds me of the old school ffxi feel, ya know people chatting away and or helping others and looking for help. I have recently tried lstory and yea besides a random person running around it was or felt very dead. Might as well been playing a single player open world rpg.

I started playing on Selbina a few days ago and even though I actually see people running around and doing stuff " which is a shockingly nice sight coming from a dead server " it just don't have the old ffxi feel yet. IDK maybe i should give it a few more days or even maybe look into joining a social LS ( If I can find one )...

What servers do you guys play on and does any of them have that old school ffxi feel to it? Ya know the old days when people used to be a bit more social?

Again I'll stick around Selbina a few more days to see if things change but I really hate investing time and effort just to reroll on a different server later on. So any suggestions or advice?

You're not going to find a server. This game will never give the "ffxi" feel because grouping isn't required, interaction with new people is pretty much optional and generally avoided.

Not to mention starting a new toon is like starting a new toon on ffxi. Everyone is at endgame and the servers are dead.

You're best best *which is what i'm doing* is waiting till 2.0 and hoping that grouping becomes the norm and new people flood in.

Just don't hold your breath.

You just have to play with the mindset that you're playing another Final Fantasy MMORPG, and not Pac-man. Then all will flow clear as water =)
