Ok...to start, I used to play FFXI back when it first came out. I played it for 4 years, everyday, for hours on end. About two years ago the officers in my Linkshell quit and started playing WoW, and ultimately I quit too. I kid you not, I've had dreams of starting to play the game again, thats how much I miss it, but I never did. I recently started talking to an old Linkshell member of mine (who still plays) and he tipped me into seriously considering to come back. I contacted SE CS to see if my character would still be available, they told me I would have to log into POL to find out, but even if it wasn't, they could get it back for me, so that fear has already been settled. My only other fear is time requirement. I'm not in college anymore, I have a full time job, I definitly don't have 8+ hours a day to play. In the past the game was very time consuming, I remember camping/fighting bosses for hours and hours. Even missions would take awhile, and if you couldn't stay in a party for at least 3 hours, it wasn't worth joining. So, my question is, with only 2-3 hours to play at a time now, is it worth coming back? Honestly, even if everyone says no, I probably still will, just to see a few of my old friends and be nostalgic (although it would probably end up depressing me), but I'm really hoping thats not the case XD So what do you think? ~Melieza Asura Server 75 Red Mage 75 Samurai 70 White Mage

FFXI is the best mmorpg ever i played for 6 years but im waiting now for the new codename rapture SE is working for years now and june will tells us or even show something about it. I returned and quit again recently its not the same and yes you will get nostalgic and depressed at the same time. IMO wait for the new one. |

I'd say you'd be fine coming back even if you don't have a heck of a lot of time. I'm sure you'll at least have weekends or a couple of days to play a decent amount too, so that helps. You don't have to do everything at once, there is plenty room for casual play now.

no, for one reason, TIME ffxi takes up alot of time, plus with the decrease in population ur neve going to find a party and when you do u'll need to stay playing for 8hrs straight just to get a lvl. If you asked this question a year after the release when there was more ppl i would say YES but not now... even tho its an amazing game. |

Sorry, have to shoot you down on that. There have always been around the same amount of people playing all these years. There might be even more this time. The only reason population goes down on servers now is because of transfers and such. When two servers have to be closed off to transfers and new characters due to overpopulation, that has to mean something.

I'm actually going to E3 next week and I heard Square Enix is going to annouce their new MMO there, so I'm going to wait and get the details on that first. If it seems promising and is going to be released in the next few months, I'll probably just wait for that. Otherwise, I'll reactivate my Mithra :P |
