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.

You should see the fancier high level gear, this is only trashy free stuff.

It is! My server gets about 600 people at peak time.

A few years ago I got a couple of characters to the mid 50's on Nasomi. I petered out after finding my next time sink (an exquisitely overcomplicated minecraft mod) and the server population dwindled hard. Still nostalgic for it. Not even sure I could remember the passwords at this point...

Yeah HorizonXI took over Nasomi's spot.
