Wait so when a new game is announced that means we all uninstall and stop playing?2DMention said:
Yes. Fascinating deductive reasoning.

I have never touched a MMO before but decided to grab the 10$ ultimate collection on Steam just for kicks.
But holy shit, 6 hours of update download after a 8 gig download? WTF? Is it that hard to bundle everything you need into a single package?

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
So I finally got it up and running last night, and it turned out that they still had my character registered to reactivate, so I just decided to do that so I don't have to go through the trouble of get back up to my previous level of 11 (I know, pathetic, but I'm not a good MMOer...)
I'm a female hume WAR in Bastok, but I forget what server I'm on, I'll have to double check.
EDIT: I'm on Midgardsormr, and I got by the username "Gigagirl" I'm a guy, but when I created this character I named it after a character I made for a short lived webcomic. I figured if I was going to effectively stare at a character's ass all game long as I made them run around, it may as well be a female one. :lol
And holy crap you people level fast! How? I spent 2 hours last night just getting my character from level 11 to level 12!

Are you keeping your character on Midgardsormr? I still have a character there that I could use to help you if you like?
If its taking you that long to solo from 11 to 12 youre either fighting mobs that are too easy or too hard. You have to find that balance so that you can blow through them and still get good exp. If I remember right around that level you should be able to get around 60-75 exp per mob with WAR and get the kill without taking too much damage.
Learn to use the Field Manuals for EXP and gil boosts and also for reraise and regen buffs. Also always have signet when EXPing. It gives you a defense boost and the mobs will drop crystals.

Not really an issue with Level Synch, which is by far my favorite thing to use since I've been back. You see 75's exping sometimes in Dunes now.

I'd stop leveling summoner until you get another job high enough to join parties to go kill all the Avatars and get all the summons. Summoner is a blast to level if you have all the avatar's already, and the mini-fights don't work for two of the nicer ones. Not to mention you're going to want a WHM sub for SMN not BLM.

Yeah, I just realized that so I'm fighting some 60-75 exp mobs in Southern ... fuck I forget the name, it's outside of Bastok.
Help is always good, but I probably won't be on for a while until later today. Where do I get field manuals, and what do the crystals do?
RurouniZel said:
Youre in South Gustaburg.
There should be a field manual right next to one of the gates leading into Bastok. They are sometimes hard to see cause of the color of the environment in Gustaburg. Theres another one on one side of that big mountain in the middle of zone.
You can sell the crystals at the auction house for around 500-1000 gil per stack of 12. Its going to be your best way to make gil at those low levels. Try to save as much stuff as you can so you can sell it for gil. Notable items from the area you are in are Honey and Beehive Chips from the bees.
If you do need help post here when you are loggin in and Ill help if Im around. Im at work right now so I wont be on for a while either.

Is the game more solo friend now and do you still down level?

Yes to both!
RurouniZel, there are a lot of us on fairy if you wanna recreate your character or transfer. I could help you get to 11 again in an hour or 2 easily if you want to join us without paying the transfer fee.

I'm at one of the farming parts of ACP, maybe too far back. Oh is anyone on with pearls? I go on in the mornings so far but I haven't seen anyone on that early through search.

Down leveling isnt a big deal if you can solo to get the EXP back. I remember back in the days waiting 5+ hours in Jueno just to get a party together to later have it fall apart cause the healer or tank sucked. That what made me quit the game.
Is the solo friendly on the level of WoW now? Nothing worst than leveling and then getting jumped on the way home by a Bunny Rabbit 15 levels lower than you and getting raped.:lol

No, it's not like WoW. Partying will always be the much better option than soloing. However, when I delevel to 74 I find it relatively easy to go to Cape Terrigan and solo Fields of Valor of a little bit to get a good buffer back.
Old-school FFXI entailed soloing being almost completely impossible. New-school FFXI entails soloing being possible and worthwhile in some situations, but the game will always focus on party-play.

I have no problems with partying. I did both solo and partied all the time in WoW. WoW has a excellent mixture of both. I just feel that Soloing is important cause somethings you dont have 8 hours to play and its nice to hop on for 30 mins and grind something for crafts or items for the Auction House.

Some jobs could solo. Beastmaster had to solo back in the day because no one wanted them. Then there was a time when even BLM's had a hard time getting parties. Summoner's can still do some excellent soloing from about lvl 50 to 75.

Yeah, I soloed 70-74 on my SMN. It may have gone faster in a good party but it was still fun and didn't feel like a waste of time, as opposed to sitting in town waiting for parties.
It's still dependent on the job though. I wouldn't go out and do the same thing no a WAR, FoV or not.

Same here, started playing at PS2 launch, was on Midgardsormr server initially but migrated to Hades with my LS mates when it opened up.
Those names aren't new, I think I remember them from the time I was hardcore into the HNM scene. Fun times.
I'm always tempted to come back, but last I tried I couldn't adapt to not HNMing like before and I got bored fast, so I think I'd rather start afresh in FFXIV when the time comes.

Well, there are a lot of people, but I'm not sure. I'm not good at MMOs, I just got to level 15 and Rank 2, and the prospect of going back to level 1 doesn't sound great.
I don't want to spend $25 after I just reactivated my account for $13 sadly. :/
I know what you mean but 15 is not that high, you can probably get to 20 in a day in fairy, just look at how fast these guys are lvling:lolRurouniZel said:Well, there are a lot of people, but I'm not sure.
