Why was FFXI so great?

[Eagleheart]

I'd have to buy 20 some-odd graphics cards and, for some, desktop PCs to put them in.

Current XI content is stale and/or bland while XIV content, regardless of its quality, is inaccessible for far too many. And this too-long period where both of these factors are still true is only working to segregate and ultimately disperse my social LS minions.

I'm doing what I can, but it's not enough. Something has to happen soon.

Aye, I agree. My point was mostly to Zaaku, regarding the real reason why he finds himself so frustrated with XIV. I myself have several friends that are holding out on joining XIV for a little while longer yet.

>.> I want them to join to get in on the Legacy Campaign though. Gonna start harping on 'em about it.

Really, I loved it for the sociability. It was just too fun when playing it with friends in a challenge. There was also a uniqueness too.

Honestly, I do admit that it was really for stubborn players who desire crazy challenges. To even play enough to make progress, you MUST play for like three hours at a time.

It kind of affected my schoolwork. Now that I have to put more effort into my life, I'm enjoying the fact this game also caters to casual players. Means I don't have to spend a year getting one level.

When I was upset with FFXIV when it began, I played FFXI again... only to find out I couldn't play it anymore. Did NOT keep my interest.

Because Monday nights were Dynamis Xarcabard nights. I miss our Dynamis camaraderie.

Because since I re-installed FFXI, I have only logged into XIV once for 10min.
