With fresh new level 36 gear and by some PS2 grass. MGS 3 had better looking grass but FFXI is still pretty.

I am absurdly setup on horizonxi if anyone ever goes there and needs help

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh yeah I remember you offering to help me out if I ever gave Horizon a try! So far I'm enjoying CatsEye, I finally got settled in with a race and job I like (Galka, rotating mnk/war/paladin/whm) and the QOL features on this server is amazing. If I ever decide to try out classic XI I'll take you up on that.

It's definitely a big undertaking starting on an established classic server without any help, beyond just how much slower progression is, but I've got a few classes leveled to 75 and can solo people through a lot of content, as well as a number of ways to generate gil. Can't necessarily suggest it to everyone given the kind of time sink it is. I'm a sucker for the slow progression old-school stuff since I started playing MMOs back in pre-luclin everquest

MMOs back in pre-luclin everquest

That's where I started too! Back in Kunark EQ. But as I've gotten older my patience for the grind has kind of waned. But the idea of playing classic XI is intriguing.
