    So FFXI has private servers where some committed data miners basically jacked the game's code and made their own servers. It's kind of cool, I guess. I've not heard much good about them. Heard about a lot of fun jank restricted around the level 75 cap (an era that spanned from December 13th 2003 until June 22nd 2010).

    Wonder if private servers could/would ever happen to FFXIV, and if they did, then would there even be a nostalgia coated era that the people would rally around? I don't think so, but then again, maybe they already do for 1.0 in some really jank capacity? Huh. Weird thought.

    Private servers are usually emulations. They imitate a real server but they use their own code because they do not have the access to the sourcecode of the original servers.
