Hope its not something stupid like putting a cap on zones or something. Prolonging the inevitable, but I still feel sorry for you poor *** losing your homes and your names.
Sylph.Kimble said: I wonder how they will relieve congestion in certain areas. Hope its not something stupid like putting a cap on zones or something. I'm betting this will have to do with putting the new NPCs in the main cities to warp to Abyssea areas, since you know how crowded Port Jeuno is with afk people. Ok cool, i was trying to scramble and get certain things done before the merge and double the competition. At least that buys a little time.... that WAS kind of sudden anyways lol.

But then where will I go for my shout drama about people shouting to do a run and locking items?!
Sylph.Kimble said: I wonder how they will relieve congestion in certain areas. Hope its not something stupid like putting a cap on zones or something. Its SE you know its going to be stupid. I wanta know when they intent to implement this: Q: Are there any plans to make notorious monsters more accessible, and battling them more rewarding? A: We have received many requests concerning notorious monsters, some of the most popular being the alleviation of pop conditions, reduced repop times, and improved treasure drop rates. We are working to address these concerns over multiple patches, starting with the next major version update. Details will be revealed as soon as the pertinent particulars are ironed out, so stay tuned! As posted in the 2/10/2011 update warnings. Odin.Godofgods

Hades.Stefanos said: Sylph.Kimble said: I wonder how they will relieve congestion in certain areas. Hope its not something stupid like putting a cap on zones or something. Thats the idea. They said their adding warp npcs for abyssea access to major cities. However i dont think it will realy help with conjestion in port jeuno. Ppl will still gather in one place for shouts and pick up groups or w/e. Just look at whitegates long run for the masses. Just so long as they add some sweet new physical BLU spells I'll be happy... Some decent magic ones were added last time the cap was raised, but the physical spells added were garbage...
Oh, and RDM and SCH NEED Cure V! It's not an issue of want- Cure IV just isn't doing it when your tank has 4k+ HP... I Cure IV spam and then I end up tanking :P Those two things and I'll be happy ^^ Hmmmmm... this is different though

March 16th update is a mini-update and not the major version update? Did I catch that right?
That's nice, a bit more time to finish up Farsha before it becomes like Dragon Aery 2.35. erwait, nobody cares about fistule.

Ramuh.Rowland said: So hold on... Nothing is changing, they're just making the maintenance longer because they're doing server merge and the new update at the same time? Kuz, can you confirm this? The server merge has always been the 16th. What's going on here? Lakshmi.Hypnotizd said: March 16th update is a mini-update and not the major version update? Did I catch that right? March 16 WAS the origional sever merger date. The Major ffxi update was to be at a later time. Now both will be done on the same day. At the time of the Major update. (Both will be done at a later date) Sylph.Cossack said: Prolonging the inevitable, but I still feel sorry for you poor *** losing your homes and your names. it's nowhere near as bad as the first merge, since endgame linkshell-specific discrimination is [nearly] no longer the case via the content that propelled the drama in general ceases to exist for the most part, but, it still sucks either way =( I'm still am not a fan of this merger... Any Abyssea NM that's halfway decent you can already expect to find at least one other group camping it as it is on my server, and now they want to dump us all in Ragnarok and essentially double that competition?? ...Lame.
Can't wait to see how many people are going to be lagging down Heroes zones now @.@' Hades.Stefanos said: - Character Reactivation Service will be unavailable.

We got one seriously badass physical spell in the last update. Delta Thrust is wayyyy overpowered considering the recast, mp cost, and additional effect. I wouldn't be surprised to see some HNM spells coming up anyway. Offline

If you consider the MP, yes... MP isn't really a factor anymore though, so I'll use Quad C, Gob Rush, Disseverment spam whenever recast timers will allow and I still don't come close to running out... I've been using BLU/RDM a lot lately for faster recast timers, phalanx/cocoon stack, and a convert if on the off change my spamming DOES render me needing MP :P
Tarutaru MP ftw! Chance*
And I'd be open to some HNM spells... Shinryu uses Mighty Guard which is an FF staple, and I'd really love to see BLM get some form of Meteor spell... I think that would just be sweet! I love BLU, but I'm a BLM at heart <3 Cerberus.Leoxtribal

wow.. I like this. with the new content being relesed at the same time as the merger activitys won't be as congested at the start (no one knows everything about the new content even if SE give some info about it) everyone will be trying to find out differnt things at the same time.
granted once people figure out what they need for stuff things are gonna be congested out the *** but at least it will be somewhat offset by the new content. Titan.Darkwizardzin
