Game Over ?

I am staying w FFXI. I gotta admit Abyssea is boring, but I always find something to do than Abyssea.

Abyssea has to be one of the most entertaining places, as long as you are not just exping all the time.
There are plenty of NMs to kill to go along with the massive exp you can get in there.

Abyssea is only boring if you SOLELY use it for exping. Essentially the entire roster of Abyssean NMs can be lowmanned: get out there!

Lowmanning Khalamari was pretty fun, I do admit. (inb4 you noob it's soloable get out fagbot)

You got some new shiny ws ¿ Some new shiny level 85 empyreal ?

Only took 3 pages for dipshitchan to bust out his old broken record =(

Surprised you didn't work this into the title.

Staying with XI. Computer can't run XIV and even if it could I'd rather give the game some time to mature before even considering picking it up. I've got plenty left to do in XI and a decent number of people I know plan to stay with this game, so I don't feel I'm losing anything by it.

I'll probably play both, I'll just stick to playing 2 jobs to 99 in 11 and take about half the time I spend on 11 and play 14 lol.

I played the beta and kinda missed XI too mutch to move on <3 IDK, maybe it's the emotion involved with this game (This was my first MMO ever) And in those 4 years of playing this is my second char, I just didn't feel a spark like i did when i first logged on and started playing... .
So yeah i'm staying on XI too until SE pulls the plug, And besides most of my friends are staying on XI too (even though they all wonnit to go to XIV first) :/ is it me or are just alot of people backing out after beta testing this?

FFXI will not die bc of ffxiv, ffxiv prolly wont fail they are DIFFERANT games some ppl will play ffxiv for a month think "ok this sucks back to 11" some ppl will decide to quit 11 for 14, some ppl will not play 14 at all for various reasons etc.

Initially there will be a huge spike of players moving to 14 basicly to see what its like but i can guarrentee that they will not all stay because 11 and 14 are so differant. Eventually 11 will die like all games but that will only be when SE cant think of any more ideas and people get bored of it (i know ppl already are).

long story short 14 WILL NOT kill 11.

however imma see if i can play both games if it ends up too much i'll decide which to play, i still have friends that play 11 that cannot run 14 so they cant get it yet.

People will be backing out, maybe bc they dont like the game, others because they dont understand that the point of a beta is to work out bugs on a large scale, cant count how many times i went on the beta site and ppl were saying "Omg this is too buggy i cant play like this" and replies were like, i did see ppl saying, "If this isnt sorted i wont play 14". As if they just wanted to play the game early and dont know what the beta is for.

But yeah for various reasons ppl will bail out after the beta.

Playing both games. I hope those people who decide to leave don't become one of the idiots running around saying "FFXI IS DEAD!". Leave peacefully so I can get my NM's and have fun without a million scrubs competing with me.

I pretty much feel the same about FFXIV. Though I quit FFXI because of assy people. ;)

You’re going to quit your job when your boss is an *** too leave your wife and kids when they becoming very annoying to you?

Solution? PLAY BOTH!

Funny you should say something like this as if playing FFXI and chess would be mutually exclusive. I play them both ^^

That's cash, yo.

There's a discount for playing both isn't there?

Pretending like people care that ToTM killed mid-level exp camps was the funniest part of this thread. I am of the opinion that most people don't enjoy the grind to high levels, they enjoy the jobs at the high levels themselves. Where they already have gear (well not anymore, AF3 making everything obsolete), and their job has all the capability it lacked at level low levels. I'm enjoying being the chest *** for linkshell-run exp alliances while leeching my MNK 30+, get to have fun talking to my friends in linkshell and help run the alliance. More productive and fun than engaging a mob, waiting for 100 TP, and hitting ws macro, for hours on end...

I'd prefer the grind of capping H2H skill and making a STR+ATT H2H magian weapon over seeking parties for hours, grinding only a few levels (if the party didn't fall apart to begin with), and repeating for weeks.


The one time Pchan is being completely civil and you try to flame him...

i bought CE. and i have been playing it for 4 days now. im going to play both when i get burned out on one ill just go back to the other. and i just keep trading. :)

I'm playing both untill I get bored on XIV.

Well... I just started playing ffxi, so it is still new, fresh, and exciting to me. I can't see myself starting another mmo, since I haven't even got one character to 75 yet. So I am going to be playing this game for at least another year, until the new star wars mmo hits, and if it sucks, I know I can always come back to this game.

I have played now for over 7 years, I dont have the time to start another MMO idt... im getting old. I will be palyin FFXI til it dies-- or maybe I will die 1st lol... This game has nearly cause me to stroke at times!

IMO it was level sync that did the damage to the way the game was played. But I will still make it work... There is still alot in FFXI I have not done/killed.

Microshit* sorry, but SE just dosen't want to make M$ specific servers and force players to pay two online fees one going in M$es pockets just cause they think they can charge money for everything.


this. there will be people who try ffxiv and hate it, come back to xi, then there will be the ones who love ffxiv and stay there, quiting ffxi. then there will be the ones who play both, or the ones who play one and never try the other, ither way ffxi will stay alive, it may not be as big, but it will continue to exist.

as for my own personal prefrance, i may try xiv when it is released for the PS3, as i've only heard good things about it so far, but it will never pull me away from ffxi, espicaly not if i get a lesser monthly fee on ffxi while playing both. if EQ wasent still $12.99 a month i would be playing that as well. but... well... it's not 1998 anymore, it wouldent seem worthwhile to pay that much for it. maybe $7.99
