Playing Final Fantasy XI in 2025 (or 2026)? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm a bit burnt out on FFXIV, mostly because of how it's designed, and was interested in trying the older game.

Does anyone here play? How is the community for new players?

I played the trial a while ago, but it was too limited (there's no chat or trading, for example). Are there still other new players progressing with or am I stuck with Trusts?

I did end up trying it for a few days, but it doesn't seem to be what I was looking for.

Other players don't seem to be interested in the progression (which is understandable and expected due to the age of the game), but I don't want to invest the time to reach level 99 just to then risk not enjoying it (looking at videos I don't think the combat is what I was expecting, as I thought the mechanics would be closer to what XIV is now).
