Private servers don't "hurt" retail, but retail players really get tired of evangelicals knocking on our doors and asking us if we've heard about your lord and savior.

After witnessing WoW's demographic shifts from Classic vs. Retail servers, I also do not believe the private servers hurt retail.

Retail players and Classic (Roz FFXI) enjoys like different things about the game. And, to be frank, classic XI is an entirely different game from Retail at this point.

It is like arguing that Old School Runescape is stealing FFXI players. Like, maybe? Some perhaps? But they are really entirely different crowds.

Ya, maybe if NO options exists for classic, private or otherwise, said classic players would go to Retail. But it is just as likely they would play something else.

I have no issues with private servers. I have found that I enjoy Retail more overall (NOT SORTIE tho).

They really aren't different games, only the pacing is different. The same mechanics are at play, even things down to exping. I don't get this whole "they are completely different games"

The pacing doesn't make it a completely diff game.

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share my experiences on Eventide So far.

I know everyone has different feelings on private, so I'd like to avoid any kinda discussions related to that.

For what its worth i love this game and I still have a retail sub going. I've never played on a server launch, and it is an absolute joy, its messy, its chaotic, and its creating a really nice community and environment to play this game in.

The mastery system makes Nin and Dualwield really fun to play. So far we've unlocked TOAU, and are getting into the midgame.

The Dev team has been really communicative and are super encouraging to new players.

This is the closest I've come to feeling that sense of adventure that hooked me so long ago when the world of Vana Diel felt new and exciting. Its not optimized to death yet, so I hope you'll come join this community and come play with us. (P.s. I am in no way affiliated with the server's owners, I just wanted to share and I hope my friends from retail and Horizon will join me here).

Miss you buddy! :P

Deliberately obtuse man is deliberately obtuse. More at 11.
