Really?! the guy with the "Back Paddling" (his spelling not mine) thread gets 100 responses and I get 5? Not creating threads for responses, just pointing out that this topic seems way more interesting than half the crap people choose to respond too. There is no accounting for what some people find interesting I guess. I must be getting old.....

Don't feel bad. Unless you are WAHmbulancing about something you don't have the guaranteed troll traffic

i see it also when 2.0 hits their will be arcanist everywhere, and parties will most likely have 5-6 acn in them just from the addition of the class. LL will be very packed from everyone being acn so hopefully 2.0 servers can handle it. And the reasons why their are going to be many acn around are:

1) all the ppl having every class at 50 will level it just to have it at 50
2) all the ppl who wanted to play it from the start and couldnt
3) all the ppl who are just curious and want to try it
4) all the newcomers to take into account that will play it

Now going along with what biggs said about musketeer being realeased with arcanist at 2.0 start will help balance the influx of everyone being on one class. but LL will still be packed and probably become the 2.0 verison of uldah from 1.0

You should have titled your thread:

"Why SE will FAIL if they don't make a 2nd Class"

People would flood your thread to argue endlessly over it.




Back on topic.

As others have said here, SE has always released at least 2 jobs in FFXI at a time to avoid a glut of one sort out in the world. Even though we will have an influx of new players, the volume of current players all leveling Arcanist will be overwhelming, so I think a new class would be prudent.

Then again, since leveling is mostly achieved via quests, and Arcanist looks like a solid solo-er, they might be purposely ignoring class-balancing EXP parties.
