Idk what server you are on but on excalibur I see plenty of turn 6 7 8 and 9 yes turn 9 pugs, leviathan EX, exp parties, turn1-5 farms and no doubt there will be plenty of CT2 once it released. Just because you got bored and unmotivated that doesnt mean everyone else is or will. Im still gearing all my alt jobs to 90 and getting smn and sch geared past 90 and still need to farm up a second set of atmas.

Sure, XIV has a lot of content, but to be blunt, after a certain point it loses its magic.
And this point comes around way too fast.

At a certian point all I was doing was roulettes to cap my Soldiery, send my puppet out on another venture and walk away from my computer to do something else.

Coil 1? Been there, done that, seen Bahamut's severed head.
Coil 2? Oh, hmmm let me ask my original coil static. Oh, 5 of em are still struggling with the Snakes on the Divebombs phase...
Primals? Nothing of interest dropping from those, and I'm done trying to teach pick ups how to dance.
Crystal tower? Don't even get me started on that...

Free company? Good bunch of guys, but they're in the same place I am and I'm not particularly in the mood to look for another as the more serious companies require things from me like taking time off work.

Aside from that fact that any content that matters pretty much requires a static party to do, unless you are able to become a Vulcan and push out all forms of emotion.

As much as I enjoy the game, Final Fantasy XIV one of the very few games that has managed to make me genuinely angry.

Just wanna point out the fact that you only mentioned up to Coil 2
Edit; Also the fact you probably suck. (Yes I felt I needed to say that.)

Sargatanas, pick ups? plenty. Successful pick ups? Not that many as people start ragequitting as soon as you wipe a second time.
No matter how far you've progressed beyond the second attempt.

CT2? I don't have very high hopes for it, to be fair.
If it's going to be anything like CT1, then you'd better hope you get your drop on tuedsday because the rest of the week will be terrible.

True, but you mustn't underestimate the number of people who are getting bored either.
I see and read about a lot of Free companies who's members are quitting in large numbers and my own FC is exactly the same.

Oh, I am being bullied on the internet by someone likely half my age and most certainly half my age mentally.
Oh my feels, they hurt so much. Someone please bring a kleenex, I can hardly contain my tears.

If you call that bullying you must be a very sensitive person.
Edit: Also, Age has nothing to do with maturity and I'm done.

Final Fantasy XI now is much, much better than it was pre-abyssea.
Some things are better, some are worse. Stop looking at extremes only.

Taken as a whole, it is indeed a much better game. People may have had more fun with it 10 years ago, but that's because they were 20, surrounded by 20 year olds, rather than 30, surrounded by sadness.

The mais problem with FFXI at the moment is that the only thing worth doing for "serious" players is an afterglow. SE keeps releasing content with subpar or not-the-best equipments such as bcnms released after AAs or delve2. No real reason to stay on FFXI with several mules (probably) while you could enjoy the same casual things in FF14 or any recent MMO.

Ffxiv is great but mommy se cradle holding from birth to death. You wont ever be f4ee and grow up to your own 8ndependent man or woman. Mommy se will hand you everything for sub fees.

Ffxi, get a job grow up, earn your items, put in the time.

Ffxiv, want a relic weapon sure, 30 day hand holding here you are. Oh and 14 is scard 9f ninjas, drks, blus, and turned schs into rejects.

Ffxiv players just want free or easy handouts. Dont know value of hard work. And yes I beat most ffxiv content. It put me to sleep.

Great crafting s6stem though.

LOL all of which are probably going to be added and how is sch a reject? It does a lot of things whm cant do but it cant heal for raw amounts as much as a whm can. My highest crit aldo is 1925 which is 3850 damage mitigated as well as 1925 healed. Highest succor is around 700 crit which again is 1400 damage mitigated. When ive got aetherflow charges up depending on on the content ive got an AoE DT-10% shield for 30 secs with a 60 sec cool down or a insta cure for 25% of the targets hp which can be used while moving. Best option is to have 1 of each for 8 man parties and for 4 man it doesnt really matter.

Maybe but no dot dmg, no nukes, no bending magic like ffxi. Sch in 14 is a reject and saddens me.

How well sch and blu are in ffxi keeps me subbed for enjoyment.

Now 8f they made drk in the job of FF dimionsions with its traits, it would make me sub. That drk job would put cicil 8n ff4 to shame. He would rip over that drks abilities.

It gets bio, bio II, miasma, miasma II and ruin. Generally my dots do 380 damage per tick. Then add on another 60 per tick from shadow flare and its slow effect and 210+ ruins. XIV jobs are only the same as XI jobs by name only.

This is the problem with people today. When you start something, you finish it, doesn't matter if its smoking or FFXI. Don't be a quitter, never tap out, there can be only one.

I didn't say the 30-year-old was himself unhappy.

As we get older, the people I know who've played MMOs for a decade or more all agree the people we meet in-game seem more and more like quest NPCs with bad dialogue.

People generally annoy me. Maybe that's why I like FFXI now that I'm 33?

It's quite relaxing to play.

Hi guys,

I've been giving it some thought and I'd really like to get back into FFXI. The only thing I'm worried about is the amount of players online. Are the servers dead? Can anyone on Cerberus tell me the average of online players? Do you think its time SE should merge servers again?

No, servers are not dead; you should come online.

I still play, there appears to be a sizable amount of ppl on; not like it was before, but worth it nonetheless (imo). Updates are pretty rapid now. Solid game overall.
