i have been on and off ffxi over the last few years admittedly life just has me busy. the last time i tried getting into ffxi was a hoot and loved every bit of it. however i was stuck at a point where i wasn't equipped enough for endgame and couldn't get any more gear because it was all "endgame" my question was did they manage to resalve the issue where a returning player can at least participate in the higher end content in some way?
back in the day you could at least sit on the side lines and be swapped in or on add control. not just told "there isn't enough room and you won't be able to contribute enough" i hope this is no longer an issue. would like to come back!
