Is it just me, or did the video of the party remind u of the long grinding with your party? in Agh Urgahn?

aww old times

 The entire game so far reminds me of FFXI.

Same here talk about good old times in a fantasy world

Hell yeah, thats exactly what I said. It has the looks of FFXI with the Dynamics of World of Warcraft. This is why im so interested in this game. I still think FFXI was one of the best looking mmo's i've ever played. And from what I hear Square is in development to make another mmo. Let's hope it's not so friggin insanely difficult like FFXI was. Took me 6 months to get to level 55, that's just crazy hard. And don't get me started on Hyper Notorious Monsters.

The worse thing about FFXI is that you couldn't solo anything. Basically if you didn't have a group, you weren't going to level. I don't like to solo, but sometimes it's just hard to find a group, so it's nice to be able to solo grind while you wait for a party. In FFXI it wasn't possible.

Oh yeah, it was terrible u couldnt solo. I would wait til wee hours in the morning trying to get a party. And then ur party disbanded in no time. Makes me cringe still thinking about it.

I think the game would be doing very well if it weren't for the fact you can't solo.

I really enjoyed my first 20 lvls in that game, but beyond that...it was impossible for me.

The soloing thing is so true, the only job that could solo was a bst, and that was normaly for shtis and giggles, except the people who made that job good for end-game. although u couldnt ever solo shit, it would show that the people who actualy got to lvl 75 were completely dedicated to the game, and were not newbs, (atleast average) players.

FFXI didnt have a very good pvp system, but they totaly made up for it showing the HUGE end-game pvp. want a good piece of gear? go kill a giant dragon in some random place and maby ull get it lol.

the one huge problem with FFXI was the fact that the own people destroyed the economy, so many people bought gil (well i gotta admit, getting gil was fucking tough)

But Aion reminds me sooo much of FFXI, also the fact old FFXI players are switching to it, its gonna be so good ^_^

U forget, summoners were also one of the only classes that could solo. I still remember to this day trying to get one of my level 55 class gear (i forget what it was called) and seeing a summoner soloing a level 70 Notorious Monster.

Wow i am an "old" ffxi player as well but i still play from time to time. The problem is ive done everything ive wanted to do, well just about anyways but the things left are almost impossible. Finished bastok missions, zilart, CoP, and ToAU. Got some pretty kickass gears for my pld as well, short of some pretty much impossible items or ones that aren't really needed.

Have to agree on the soloing thing sometimes it would just be nice to do something on my own besides crafting, farming, and really lame quests. (only quests soloable are lame lol) I'm looking for something new to switch to though that will bring some of the stuff I like from ffxi but bring some new stuff as well. I miss pvp from lineage 2 but its even more "grindy" then ffxi if you can believe. Dieing in L2 was an awful experience if you weren't with someone you trusted as well. So i'm hoping this game turns out to be something nice and fun to play. Characters look great, the world looks great so far, and pvp looks like its gonna be something fun. Plus having wings is just cool if you ask me.
