So I'm considering coming back over the summer for a little casual play. My friend left my character on Quetzalcoatl and my alt is on fenrir. How are those servers doing these days? Or is there another server that's got a good player base these days?

Also job wise what's good to play these days? My main has been Drk for a long time. But I did hear Mnk was very versatile after soa came out. But I'm open to focusing on war Mnk pld Drk or even drg. Depending which will Benefit me the most in the short to longer term. I was building relics when I left I have apoc. And a stage 3 excel and stage 2 aegis but would put those on hold if Mnk is going to be that game breaking for me

Thf sam for dds. And neither relics are that awesome and could easily skipped for delve weapon if you just care with performance.

Aegis is important for some situations, but you shouldnt neglect ochain, or priwen if you can have haste capped.

Drk and war are in bad situation today.

Mnk lost a lot of his appeal due to massive boost dagger and gk ws received, while h2h ws remains about the same, and worse in relative terms.

If you ignore advice and do:
That Valli guy is on Quetz, avoid him like the Plague.

Game is disgustingly boring right now... very VERY easy to get any and everything done... but why bother.

I still appreciate the game, feel free to come back and judge it for you're self man. in you're case it should be plenty to do, good luck.

p.s

asking people on this site for reasons to return isn't a good idea, stick to people you know that still play.

Only thing is job points, which if you farm then every now and then, is not that bad versus the grind you might have to do as you come back after an extended period.

Either way, it's a trap!

It's worth it if you're coming back for nostalgic/casual reasons. Just don't expect the same game from back in the day.

Many of the doomsayers no longer play, got banned, or were simply unable to adapt to new changes in the game.

Like any game, it is only as fun as you choose it to be. If you choose to have fun, you will.

There is so much to do in this game, if you are bored or miserable, you are doing it wrong.

Some of us got over the addiction that was FFXI.

Time for some good old intervention!

Despite what addicts say quitting can sometimes be a good thing!

I considered myself and addict maybe 5 years ago spending way too much time on XI.

Alcohol is actually a fairly cheap addiction too !

Plus you actually get out and meet people at the bar. New friends plus drunk = win !

The only thing I miss about FFXI are the shout conversations/social aspect. I really was bored of the content maybe two or three years ago.

I sorta feel this way. It would take something like an expansion or some major changes for me to come back.

Maybe by 2020 they will release something worthwhile.

While I agree with those who say game right now is pretty boring, looking from the perspective of someone who hasn't played for a while there can be actually stuff to do(depending on when they quit). For us who have been playing continously yeah, pretty much nothing happens, but for long time absent players it might be ok.

Always loved the feel of this game. It has never been as good as during the days of hnm but abyssea and 99 cap was ok. It changed the game and made relics more realistic. I quit right before soa release so there's lots for me to do. I have occasionally read up on new changes so I know my first priority is easy ilevel items to start.

And then the other thing is picking a server. I can be cheap and pick either quetz or fenrir to pay for only one transfer.

I guess my real problem is I only know of one friend still playing. And alcohol is by no means cheaper. In one night of drinking id spend two characters worth of charges.

You can transfer both characters with one server transfer fee (correct me if i'm wrong) so feel free to choose any server. And yeah if you've stopped before SoA you'll have plenty to do.

Two characters on two different accounts? If it was an actual mule then of course. Although I could of missed an advantage from the se ids

No sorry my bad, thought you meant only mule. Cannot say as for population on Quetz and Fenrir, if you search a bit on other threads you should find this kind of info!
