Back when it first came out (~+5 years after too) people were everywhere your home country was busy enough so you could just ask someone what to do. I think a lot of what turns people off this game is that it's just not as populated as it used to be. Honestly, FFXI's had so much content added that I think they really would have struggled on their own it involved a lot of babysitting for the first week.įFXI's always been really unique with a lot of features such as the lack of handholding at the beginning of the game even someone with MMO experience would get lost for a bit. I've been playing with 2 friends recently that have started a new account one plays MMOs a lot and played ffxi up to level 20 with me in 2010, and the other friend barely plays MMOs. People should take some time to help new and returning players. He took the time to call me elitist, piece of S, etc etc It’s not fair to the rest of the players. I then said well if you can’t meet the basic reqs of the fight, I can’t take you. Nobody will invite me so I can’t get better gear.”Īfter I asked him to consider getting food he again said he was too poor. I asked him if he had food to enhance is acc, and he stated “I can’t afford food. Yesterday a DRG in my Omega party took it upon himself to cuss me out after I checked his gear for a D Omega HTB. I hold know hard feelings against the person, and hope they can start to enjoy the game as I do. I’m hoping new (and returning) players still find the game, and I hope people aren’t discouraged by the amount of content. Now it’s “lemme pl you to 99 in an hour.” I am wondering if the game has gotten so fast paced that people don’t want to progress. Is FFXI seriously difficult to start now a days? Is the list of content so daunting people don’t know where to start? Is it more that they don’t want to go through the levels of gear and instead want items from T3 in Escha zones right away? I am asking as someone who has played for years but started multiple characters.
