so are all the ffxi players spread out or do we have a server or specific linkshells that are out there still running there shells like linkshells and not guild'ish. just wondering if i should be trying to transport to a specific server to get that ffxi feel?

also are there linkshells running like ffxi still or at least plan on it when more real meaty endgame that takes more then 8people are out? have a feeling a lot of shells even the larger ones will sink when anything that takes more the 16people comes out. so if there are really strong linkshells that plan on playing this game for years or ffxiv's life time already out there? lot of shells are gaming communities, they don't last like hnmls's did and kinda what i'm looking for.
