Avina Wrote:I do find the anti-vana'deil edge on this forum to be rather disheartening. Just because there are some RP groups in FFXI that have shut down doesn't mean that we all have or that we're struggling to get by... oh well, with comments like these bothering me so much I should really just stay away.
Like Castiel said, this is a community for FFXIV.. the fact that we are even highlighting (stickying and discussing) RP in XI should be seen as pro-Vana'diel, not anti, if anything. And sure, your group may be doing well (it's excellent to hear!) but for those of us that RPed in Vana'diel during the heyday when our RPLS' had 30-40+ members and you needed spreadsheets and flowcharts to keep track of all the plotlines and story arcs going on, yeah. RP in XI is kind of dead.
There are a lot of active servers still, and not all of us came from yours. The last time I played FFXI was last year, and the RP shell I tried to participate in never had more than one person in it online at a time, ever. It's not "anti-Vana'diel" to have a different experience from someone else on a different server.

As far as these forums are concerned Ezorea > Vana'deil
That does not mean we don't LIKE Vana'deil, just that we are HERE to prepare ourselves and the Rping community for the september Launch of XIV.
I will always hold Sylph and Crystalline in my heart, but FFXI is no more for ME, and I'm looking onward to the future!
As a side note, if whom ever started this conversation side note wants to find people to rp with in Vana'deil...they can just read through this thread and contact those people via Private Message. Take the initiave and start a Link Shell yourself?

Honestly the last update to FF11 changed the game drastically. In 10 hours my linkshell got 600k exp in Abyssea which is incredible!
Also the level you can enter Abyssea is 30. You need an alliance of 75-80's to kill quickly and get time extentions, boxes and chests appear with the time extensions, currency, additional exp, and the good treasure drops. After your first run or two of Abyssea you can purchase keys to open the boxes with the currency you get. Our group designates 1-2 low level people to join the alliance, buy keys and open the boxes for us so we can continue killing quickly without having to stop everything we're doing and open them up. When they're not opening boxes they're allowed to skill up. We had one guy get from 63-78 in just a few hours. Also a lot (if not all) of the missions are now uncapped so that definitely makes things easier. The new gear is purchased with Abyssea currency and you get enough from about three hours of exp-ing to get the entire set. From what I understand all the NM's for new weapons are popped. Cooks, carpenters, and people who make other consumables are making a killing with very little effort. The servers are a lot more full now since people are returning to the game so there are a lot of old faces popping up.
It almost seems like everyone is quitting the game just as it's getting good!
There are still a lot of adventures in FF11... but sadly the game will be ending soon. I'll be there even after FF14 comes out, but I get why a lot of people have quit. I don't blame them for it either since everyone plays for their own reasons. I'm not sure that people are so much anti-FF11 as pro FF14.

I'm going to feel quite ambivalent in September, since that's probably when FF11's going to release their Scars add-on and I'm sure there will be a corresponding update. The lack of RP (at least on Sylph) has kind of made up my mind. But I think we'll be able to run both windows simultaneously, so I'm still happy I can do some idle RP in 14 while doing some event in 11.

I have recently Re-acquired FF 11. I am not really in it for the game, but to just RP. I have not made a permanent character , but I am more then willing to make one and RP with someone there.

I'm playing on siren right now. Character is named Tadir.

Just as a notice, this topic will probably be unstickied within a week or two. We're about a month away from the game being released and really need to focus on that. And we've already confused one of our fellow RPers with this sticky as is xD. I think we've supported FFXI's RP community as much as we possibly could up until now, though I'm unsure it ultimately did much good. I believe at least one (maybe 2) of the advertised RP groups are more less on the verge of being gone. Thus, it wouldn't make much sense to continue having a sticky just for 1-2 RP linkshells. And as stated before, this is the FF 14 RP Coalition. Now that the game is literally around the corner, that's where our primary focus will be. Otherwise, we'll end up with people from WoW or something asking us to sticky their RP groups too >.>;
Anyway, just wanted to give a courtesy warning so nobody is surprised when this topic disappears into the Lounge.
For the 1-2 FFXI RP groups that do continue to survive, I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that we wish you the best of luck in keeping RP alive in Vana'diel.
Edit: We could possibly stick in the FFXI RP groups in Eva's FAQ sticky, though it would be nothing more than the shell name, server, and link to their forums. I would need each of the 3 linkshell leaders to confirm they're still alive and kicking though and intend to remain in Vana'diel even after FF14 is released.
