Let's play together!

[Kirei]

I'll be on around 1:30am EST so I'll try again then

[Twiddle]

My 2c here and don't get me wrong, as is.. at this stage I would not pick XI. Just doesn't seem like a temp game. I have not played it in 2 years... But i just can't see it being any less time demanding now then it was when first level cap started to get increased... I rather not get caught with my hand in the cookie jar come ARR (meaning committed to something and 1/2 way in to it)

When they started to raise the level cap is actually when XI got way way LESS time demanding..

Plus I figure we got at least ~5months+ before ARR actually launches, and in the meantime I can have some fun in XI and XIV beta. My hope is that this group from XI starts up a shell or FC for ARR, making for a really good start when ARR does launch.

Well I re-downloaded the game and am waiting to see if I can reactivate and transfer my old character onto pheonix. Started a new character while waiting though.

Just wondering when you guys are on to get a LS?

I found the group on steam as well.

There is literally someone on 24 hours a day. I was surprised even last night that the shell had as many people on as it did considering they had reopened the XIV servers. Plenty of people, plenty of discussion, plenty of opportunity for good times. Just keep trying any of the names listed in the OP.

Hey guys, I had to start over to get my beret so if you could send me a /tell tonight to Xeqtr when you are online that would be super! (originally Bunka)

Sorry Bunka, I'll give it another shot today. Did you try any of the names listed in the OP?

My patching finally completed this morning and I was able to login. Soo many great memories came rushing back from just seeing the title page and character select screens.. Then I logged into the server, and after ~2+ years of inactivity I pop in Dyna-Xarc LOL! Surrounded by mobs, I am already facedown in the dirt after only a few seconds of playing! That brought back some memories too..

Anyway I quickly realized that I have no clue how to do much of anything anymore (especially since I lost alllllll my macros lol.. and I had TONS) so looking forward to grouping up with you guys at some point and getting back into it. I am Exnigma, so send me an invite if you see me on

Where are you located? What's your home town? We can get you a pearl at any time if you /tell any of the names listed in the OP.

Hello all, managed to get my old character reactivated^^ spent last night working on macros, my god do I have a ton of them to do. My name is Shatain, please send me a tell to join the LS I get a lot of play time in the winter as I work outside.

I was so stoked when I logged in so many good memories, I missed FFXI. I'm looking to expereance the great story lines again and to complete the ones I have not yet done.

Hoping there is some adventurers on the ls wanting to have some fun.

There are plenty of us, a lot more than I had actually anticipated. There should be anyone available at any time of day to get you a pearl.

You guys are making me want to play FFXI really badly again, especially with winter break from college coming.

STOP IT ;~;w

Join us!

It's really only a permanent game if the people you play with are playing it permanently. The shell we started consists primarily of FFXIV: ARR fans so when that goes live I foresee a massive migration. A lot of us are just reactivating characters to experience the storyline from the beginning. I personally am starting fresh on a newly created character but there are certainly a wide array of job levels currently in the shell.

When they started to raise the level cap is actually when XI got way way LESS time demanding..

Plus I figure we got at least ~5months+ before ARR actually launches, and in the meantime I can have some fun in XI and XIV beta. My hope is that this group from XI starts up a shell or FC for ARR, making for a really good start when ARR does launch.

This isn't the first time someone has suggested this. If there's enough interest and we could all coordinate our migration I'd be more than happy to facilitate it. We'll see how things go in the coming months.

I gotcha from your /tell.

Bumping this for anyone that was wondering about invites but still didn't get an invite yet.

[Rhomagus]

Added a Google+ and facebook for Rapiemur last night. Still accepting people! See you soon.

So I was homeless for 5 weeks due to Hurricane Sandy and while in exile I found FFXI in a partition on my laptop! 2 days of updating and i was in! I dont know much about XI but i'm enjoying it so far. Met a few very nice people but no XIVers yet. Can i join up with you guys?

[Leowilde]

Okay, it seems I have to swallow my own words. I got the good ol' box of FFXI sent to me from back home, installed and patched it... and I'm finally in.

I haven't played the game before, except the short couple of hours when I tried it and quit, a year back.
Are there ANYONE around else at all, who haven't rounded the game 1000 times over, or am I the only truly new player? :P
