Final Fantasy Private Server Nasomi

Well, I decided to move on to private server Nasomi active player of 800+ on the server right now any idea if ffxiah would add an AH on this server?

You guys want rankings?

I'm surprised there are so many players there. I looked at policies and they don't support multiboxing, so I wasn't interested.

pretty much the main reason I would want to play on private server.

private servers tend to have some AH commands to search the AH so i doubt they would do anything for them here on ffxiah.com

my nephew started on that server a few months ago. The owner is very harsh on any form of assistance. In the site rules he says he will stop progress on everything hes doing for the server if he detects an exploit or people hacking until the matter is dealt with. It also says if you get caught cheating he will ban anyone on your IP even if it is a totally different person, you share strikes and bans.

Theres also glitches like WS dmg on HNM mobs are/were broken, its been a month so it might be fixed. They say its better to melee swing nidhogg for 30-50 a hit than use weapon skills, its a known issue to owner.

What does that even mean? How can they have a policy against multiboxing lol.

Not sure why people would want to join this server its far from legit.. From being able to solo Dynamis and the people who started on the server before it was populated got a ton of relics easy. Also add on the fat that I heard the person who runs the server pays gil to people to stream and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

im not a computer person but if hes able to detect or if hes hands on and sees you mimicking what someone multiboxing would look like (strings of 4+players on autofollow) he would ban you. I recommend looking up the servers ToS its a little authoritarian.

Yeah I looked. That shits HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. I'd make multiple characters just to piss him off.

There's other/better private servers. *** that guy.

whats wrong with multiboxing on private servers?

What is the appeal to a private server? Everything would be a lot more annoying and harder in terms of progression, and you're stuck with boring 75 content that isn't even functional. Only thing I can think of is saving 12 dollars, as if that's a lot.

There is nothing preventing a player from playing on a normal server as 75 cap. Groups exist, and they are out there.

Don't want exp bonuses? Fine, don't do ROV or use rings.

Don't call trusts, instead party in the dunes with your other ls members.

Three kings? Sure, now you don't have to stand around for 3 hours anymore. Don't spend your login points on pops, instead do ks99 for your pops. There's your lottery on claim that you miss.

Don't want the automatic speed boost we got and rather run slow? Wear dusk pieces. Don't use home point warps, instead take the airship.

All of the other content is still in place, except dynamis which was changed. Your lockout time is still in place without the rov ki.

The jobs and damage formulas themselves have been tweaked numerous times. Having done 75 content as a 75 now, and as a 75 then, it is not even remotely close to the same.

Nasomi still sucks, though.

Take a few less people, and perhaps enjoy monk not sucking!

lets go back even further to sam/drg spamming penta thrust with broken tp returns

Not that another thread needs to go down this path. Monk was at it's worst at 75. Garbage damage with no subtle blow to even pretend to make up for it.

Fine for Meripo, absolute trash for content (though, I did witness a really damn good monk solo KA at 75)

lolchiblast

only reason I would like to play on private server is it would be fun to run a whole party myself. but there is no way I'm going to buy 6 accounts.

I played on a private server a little bit before returning. It made me nostalgic for the game and I resubbed.

I was showing it to my kids, but they weren't really interested. i wasn't about to buy accounts for them when I knew how fickle they can be about a game.

You answered your own question.

I prefer being SE's little *** than someone's who can delete my account anytime just because.

What is it with private FFXI server admins being ***? There was one i was in awhile back where the owner got mad and shut down the whole thing and we had to refugee to jova.

This thread is painful.

Kotaku has an article that explained why Nasomi has its market, and I think they nailed it about how the community worked in 75, community was the main reason why FFXI is my favorite mmo of all time. If I didnt start from 75 I would have very different pov about this game.

Being free is icing on the cake obviously, since ffxi is still competing with other free products on the market.

Current retail version players are probably happy with the retail version, myself included. I prefer ffxi 2018 and its variety more than every other era before it. But thats face it, retail version is a very different game from 2005 FFXI. FFXI these days focuses on the mechanics and gear variety, but the "I cant do anything without other people" aspect is kinda thin, and human interactions are often being water down to chatting in /l or /yell unless you are in a static or tight-knit group for progression.

Different niche, different market I guess.


I do not know the reason but based on that article, Im guessing thats because the owner doesn't want players to play with themselves. They are forcing players to group and play with others.

Heard the guy is giving gil to those who stream the server.

Why would anyone purposely read kotaku?

75-days encompasses a lot of time. MNK was almost required for early Salvage strats due to not needing a weapon and still being able to DD. There were times during level 75 where MNK did shine.

I do see the appeal of a level 75 server, but my ideal FFXI would be:
1.) Similar to Nasomi where content is capped level 75 OR content is scaled appropriately to 99. (Have 99 job traits, spells, sub jobs, etc, but at max level Kirin, Ultima, Omega, beastkings are all still challenges)
2.) Has all expansions with the possible exception of the mini expasions and Abyssea. New content like Adoulin would need to be scaled to ToAU levels if it's capped at 75, otherwise other content would need to scaled up appropriately.
3.) Above would mean that unlike Nasomi, would also have the jobs: DNC, SCH, RUN, GEO

The key would be that there would be tons of cap level content, one of the things abyssea did was trivialize all the older content. It did make lots of jobs usable though by means of the new levels, spells, and additions. If you remember PUP and BLU in the past, they were almost unusable in any important context (cue people bragging about soloing imps on BLU or puddings on PUP).

So basically you just described what ffxi is today apart from level capping everything. When was the last time you played again?
Level capping old content like missions would only work against the game these days. Everyone and their mother have or should have all that done by now.
SE is slowly but surely already adding more and more level cap content. Please look forward to it.

The key difference is that all the old content would still have meaning. And the rewards from Adoulin+ scaled content wouldn't be all stats +30 but would be in line with what WotG did with various side grade gears, and the ocassional BiS for a single purpose. People would still do Sky and would Escha Ru'aun, and would do Limbus and Reisenjima, would do Einherjar and High Tier Battlefields. And most of the content would require a group to do. Lots of variety with the amount of content, but also force lots of group play to accomplish your goals.
