She has a point though. Take it at the linkshell level. I own one, and some people don't stick around because "nobody is there"..

Well how can anyone be there if nobody sticks around.. lol


Agreed. My Social linkshell just completely emptied to go to Fluff!!!._. I followed too XD

Eh, I guess I ran out of happy juice and everyone else in the FFXI community is having a similar experience. Things have gotten progressively slower and worse over the years. Back then it wasn't hard to meet new and cool people and have fun on random misadventures together, even if it had no particular avail or goal.

i do play this game for myself first. this is my art, where it intersects with yours is the centerpiece of our relationship. i don't consider even social linkshells to be chatrooms or irc. it's misguided to look for elsewhat.. though i sympathize.. and always wanted to have my own linkshell w/ all my favorite people collected together. i don't think that happens via magic, though..

Sounds like my friend when she had a static merit group. It would be like

"Guy invites you to join their party"
>>Welcome to Shiva!<<
O.o

btw I didn't know you were from Israel ET >.>

i think things are a lot better.. well sure the old times will always be bittersweet, that's what remembering old times is about :O

now ffxi is pretty complex and can be especially disheartening. but a lot of people unhappy with it are looking at it shallowly. no better time to get into it than now.. while it still exists >. >

Wow, that's cool. Definitely a culture rich environment. Unlike ours which basically is a culture of strip malls and Botox, combined with manic depressive and narcissistic tendencies. Go USA!

My point was that people back then weren't afraid to jump into any given invitation to be friends or go do something fun in game, even if it didn't necessarily give you gear or any particular benefit at the time.

Now it's like "Who are you? Why are you waving to me? You want to do what? Will I get anything out of it? No thx go away."

It's a real drag. I suppose everyone got really jaded over the years unless they're a relatively new player.

Let's be frank. FFXI in it's prime is dead. Bittersweet isn't the word for it I would think...just gone. It was a good run, yes. But we will NEVER have the age of exploration between friends, people wanting to do something just to do it, selflessness because EXP was just EXP and...wait for it...wait for it...OH MY GOD! FUN!

FFXI's prime is dead where people had fun doing the basic. People don't really have fun anymore, and if you do it's rarely on an outing with friends. All that's left on FFXI are the piece of ***leetist *** that suck what little fun is left to be had from the veins of FFXI, people who stick around to be socialists because they have made good online friends, and the very rare side person like me who just gets on to remember it's a *** game that consumed lives.

Saddest part is that people are *still* selling their families, jobs, lovers and friends out for a game that is gonna lose much of what little traction it has left with the release of XIV. FFXI is dying. Char was right; people are unhappy. But trust me, there were better times to get into it. Much, much better times.

well that isn't true of me. i mean i agree with you but that's.. just.. how .. it is. good people are everywhere, but it takes work to suss them out of the woodwork. but it's the only bloody way.

but never mind yo! have fun on lakshmi, where all of what you describe is significantly different.. (it may well be!)

I missed the big.. prime time. I came too late. So.. Im really starting to get into the fun stuff now. :/ I dunno.. I'm here mostly for social, but.. I'd like to think I'm still happy with actual things in the game. =)

Aye... And the struggle continues.

I'm still having some fun playing my favorite classes and chatting up with what few friends I got left. So as long as there's something to look forward to, I'll keep playing.

Here's hoping the light at the end of the tunnel doesn't dim out completely. /cheers

i have the same kind of fun (and misery) as anyone ever did on this game. if not more because there's so much mess to get entangled in.

i don't care what other people do. if they care more about gear than i do, i don't blame them, because i get that. if they care more about people than i do, i don't blame them, because i get that.

i don't waste time moaning about it. i just get out there and do it.

That's a bit negative and misleading, saying that it's dying.

Sylvia Plath would say it started dying from the moment it began :P


I say we kill all the leetist *** and start from Square One once again.

QQing would be saying something moreless untrue and without merit to have a point. Just because you don't like hearing it doesn't mean it can't be said.

Dying in the sense of what FFXI meant, really. It's not closing down anytime soon. But you will see a big decline in everything except the people terrified of losing years worth of pixels, because for a lot of them, what they sacrificed for it? It's all they have left. And don't you dare bring Sylvia into this! xD

Between your anti semitic comments and generally condescending attitude, it's no wonder I wanna leave Asura.

Put simply: Char, you're like school in summer time.
