What Will You Do When FFXI Does Disolve?

Obviously you had uncool parents.

What will you do when FFXI does disolve?

I'll put all my 99 jobs and all my relics/empyreans on my Job resume as I apply for McDonalds.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! (I'm pretty sure you are sarcastically making fun of me wanting my kids to play but I find the delivery quite hilarious so BRAVO!)

Yes, nice. But your cooking is level 0. I'm sorry, applicants must be level 20 or above.

pfft i can put ***into a microwave and wrap it up
My papercaft is 60!

Oh then I have done Einherjar with you a couple times too I think...well I have done Einherjar a couple of times and they were both with Felos and Art when they went with CartoucheLS (partnered with another LS whose name I don't remember) I wanted to continue but Cartouche like died or something...sad panda seriously...

Anyway, cool that you know my Bro-In-Law and my husband...I know a few married couples that play ffxi together though Felos and I are the only ones I know that actually have kids too...we're so old...ugh

ಠ_ಠ

Edit for Novaria: Danicah and Crucible are also a married couple who play and have kids. They have their own AbysseaLS. Cool people.

AWESOME!

Though I havce to admit McDs around here is pretty pissy about the cooking skill...apparently they seem to think you can't use a microwave if you don't have lvl 20+ skill... :(

(I am SO sorry for derailing this thread like I have...)

Seriously when the game dies, which I don't see happening for QUITE some time, even though it WILL eventually happen I will probably try and Fail to find a new MMo to play at night...

you can play some Rift with the cool kids once this dies down!

Do you think the cool kids will actually let me?

And WTR is RIFT anyway? maybe I should google it...

just before this game dies..im gunna go on a farmgasm of THF relic gloves...I will not have the FFXI apocolypse occure without my THgloves...I did this for joyeuse too...before the fake Zombie Apocolypse :/

Anyway, If it WHERE TO END...I will most likely go find a job...and then the withdrawls wil set in and i'll lose said job..and then ill just sit around and have many of those fail moments where i try to log in...but cant...

it's a fun MMO some people ont he forums play with me, including Krizz. check out the Rift general post :D

You people who say you'd ACTUALLY find a job, is sad. I HIGHLY doubt anytime in the future, FFXI will die. Take a look at Everquest, etc. Still kicking. FFXI will be the next Everquest. Forever there.

Possible you should find a job now. Or you'r going to be forever alone.

Guess I'll have to check it out...I will totally suck at it though just so you know...lol


My name is Novaria and I approve of this message.

ok going to bed...tomorrow I am going to actually PLAY ffxi...

I would be sad because of nostalgia if ffxi died. It was the first game that I ever really played.


We don't play as often anymore. We don't have a linkshell except for limbus, and while we are perfectly capable of doing most things on our own, it's boring and lonely without people there to talk to. We mostly just log on every Tuesday night and Friday night for limbus, then log back off when limbus is done.

It's funny, we aren't sure we want another linkshell because we've been burned by them and by almost every close friend we've made in game (most of whom we met on our linkshells). We're wary to get another one or get close to more people. But without other people, we don't really have any reason to play.

I'll be sad for nostalgia if ffxi ever ends. It won't make a huge difference in my life because we've been moving on to other things. Recently, Hunted: The Demon's Forge came out, and that was the very first game I saw the trailer of and immediately wanted. So my husband helped get me set up on Steam, and we bought it. We've been playing it with him as Caddoc and me as E'lara, and I am really enjoying that. I'm looking for more fantasy-type games that cater to just two people playing in cooperation. But even if I don't play ffxi all that much anymore, it will still be a sad day if it ever ends.

You shoulda come to Fairy/Sylph and we could have started our own LS!

We considered it! Not going to any particular server, but we considered server-hopping just to see some fresh faces. But then Odin and Ifrit merged, so we considered that a free server-hop involving the entire server. You should come here!

The only problem with that logic is the fact that Everquest has consistently been updated with expansion packs. If XI's the same then yeah I agree, if they expect the game to survive without adding a lot more content at 99 they're sorely mistaken.

Simply put the survival of this game will be heavily dependant on the amount of content available for a level 99 player. If there's little content then people will reach the level then get bored. If there's a lot of content (like there was at 75) then the game will persevere.

I don't play anymore.

I will be a lowly 1BLM/1NIN forever! (If I were on Spence and not Spency)

Everything ends sooner or later. I think FFxi has at least 2 more years left in it. But then, that's what I said 4 years ago. As long as SE continues to evolve and add content that attracts the subscriptions, SE's ffxi could go on indefinately. Idk. Anyways, in the event that ffxi DOES ever shut down, I'd probably find another MMO to play that I can enjoy. Ergo, not WoW. I need an exciting, popular MMO (that allows me to use my gamepad on my pc).

Is everquest dead yet?

No, But I think it'd be dead before ffxi is.

People still *** play Diablo 2. Get over it people. The only way the game goes under is if the company goes under.

I wouldn't say that.. I mean Diablo 2 never cost anything to play, FFXI does.. Plus the amount of people that still play Diablo 2 (I did as little as a year ago) could be handled by a 3 year old computer running as a server.. Make no mistake, if keeping FFXI alive creates a negative cash flow for SE, the game will be shut down. But having said that, it probably doesn't cost much at all to keep the game alive at this point, so virtually everyone would have to quit for the game to be canceled.

1) hoping this doesn't happen becuase FFXI is the only place I have to truely socialize. I work in an ellitist profession, and I am not exactly accepted in this that "social circle", because I am "not from this area" (was not born here). At work breaks are scheduled so that no 2 ppl are on break at the same time unless there are more than 5 ppl in the call center.

2) I have done the husband/wife only team for years and will not go back to that. Although i love my husband he is not a good communicator and gaming with him is frustrating. He like to play when i am asleep so he levels faster, learns all the areas, and i get stuck putting myself "on follow" just so i don't blink and get separated from him. Both kids did play for a while but once they hit 15-16 the had "better" things to do.

FFXI will never die.

Oops I posted that already, it still is true!

If they made XI F2p it would bring a lot of people in.

I'm not sure if I'd like that or not.

Every f2p game I've played has had terrible players. Even Guild Wars would have been unplayable if I hadn't had one other person I was staticing with.

free???? jajajajajajaja dats a gud idear.
