An invitation to the longest static of your lifeFollow

Hiyas!

I am not sure how many of you may remember me as I haven't been in the game for quite some time, but me and one of my close friends (Atreu) are considering getting back into the game. We would like to form a very dedicated static group. By dedicated, I mean pretty much from start to finish. We would like to find a few willing to start new characters, and level them strictly as a static. I know the chances of getting this to work may be rather small, but this is a post to see if there are others who would value the experience of going through the game as a group.

Some things we are considering (those interested are more than welcome to ask, suggest, toss opinions...):
-Wooshoo and Atreu were both Tarutarus from Windurst and were on Titan server; Titan will be the preferred server
-we intend to start in Windurst, but eventually complete all 3 mission sets
-preference will be given to Tarutaru over all others (we're dreaming, but we would seriously love to have an all-shorties group)
-main jobs and sub jobs will be leveled with the static
-to begin with, we plan on making it just one night a week

For those of you who might like to join up with us, we are mainly looking for people who care more about the adventure, the group, and seeing most (if not all) of what this game has to offer in the way of stories, places, etc. In other words, we want to make a new group of friends and go tour Vana'Diel. This is not going to happen quickly, we know, but we welcome any who might be interested to post.

(If I had to put a timetable on the start, I would say roughly a month. Anything I listed above as citeria is not firm; it will eventually be decided by the whole group. And one last thing to keep in mind, Atreu is definitely, for sure, without doubt going to level BLM again, so if you were considering that, don't rule out that job. Just know that he is going to level it again.)

(Oh, and Xrian, Arndtguntram, if you're still out there, we'd love to have you come with us ^^)

sounds tough to do one night a week. i play almost every night for at least a couple hours and 4 months later im still very far from that goal.

You should post this on the titan server forums, then...

I'm not worried about how long it takes if everyone involved is having fun. And no, I shouldn't post this just on the Titan forum since depending on who joins us, we may move to another server.

Not at all. We (Atreu and I) talked this over, and we are both willing to start over. Hopefully, there may be a few others out there willing to do the same.

(oops, was responding to the current characters note)

I would want tojoin it, but I wont be on FFXI again until march, and even then I only get wed-thurs and every other weekend, until I get the ps2 version of the game. I would just be a hassle

Well, at this point, it's still just Atreu and I, so we're not counting anyone out. We're willing to talk to those who want to join and make this work.

I would like this dont really mind what server BUT i have a main character on carbuncle 70 drg that i would still want to lvl and stuff so depends what times and so on days... Also I am in a band that takes up some time of mine but if I could make it work i would like to do it.
#11 Feb 04 2007 at 1:49 PM Rating: Decent
It would be fun, yeah.

If you ever did make this happen, you should do it on a server like Asura or Fairy. I ALWAYS hear stuff about those servers, lol.
#12 Feb 04 2007 at 1:59 PM Rating: Decent
Good luck on this, I hope you find good friends and make this work. I have had a static since about level 14, rank 1, no sub. We are now level 65, rank 6, and upto chapter 5 of CoP, among lots of other things. Assualts, NM camping, AF, quests, missions, etc. We've been going, hmm, 4/5 months?

Personally, this is not the way to do it. Thats my thought. Certain things click with people when you meet in the game. Your proposing to spend all, or near all, your in-game time together, and I don't think you can do it asking random people in the forum. What if they annoy the **** out of you a week down the road? What if they play in a way that is just not in sync with what you do? I know that personally 75% of people we pick up in our activities make our blood boil, mainly because we're spoiled I guess, we work well together, we've been doing so for along time, so I guess we're kinda snobbish, but I think everyone would be the same. They come in and ruin your flow, your certain group way of doing things. Finding a whole 6 people that are good together, that can be tough. We XP static with 4, just picking up two DD's and we're set. We CoP static we've 6. One time in the future I assume we will merit together, endgame together, join/make Dyn/Savage/etc LSs together. I feel lucky to have made such good friends and stuck with them from so early, and I hope you find the same. I just feel its gonna be tough this way.

Good luck, again.

I'd be interested in joining up with you guys. I've been off FF for a while, and starting over would be pretty fun. I like your philosophy in terms of adventuring and storyline > grinding, etc.
#14 Feb 04 2007 at 2:00 PM Rating: Decent
I would enjoy that, but the thing is, I'm too lazy to farm for a second character's equipment/spells/etc on another server. :(

I really appreciate all of the replies and opinions. Please keep in mind that this won't happen overnight. If possible, Atreu and I would like to chat or something like that with the people interested. We joined the game within a week of each other, and we were very fortunate to have made some solid friends in the early days of our adventures. We miss that more than anything else about the game. This could easily fall through (seriously, any who have been in a static or have tried to make one knows how much you have to work with it), but even if it just makes a few more firends, it will be worth the effort of looking into all of it.

After a long absence, I recently looked back into joining FFXI. I logged onto my old account, deleted everything I had, and started a new character. The experience feels completely fresh again, and I am very hopeful about the time I will spend playing again.

At the same time, since I erased every memory, every item, and every trace that I had traversed any inch of the game, I am not really tied down to anything. I would love to get into such a group for a weekly or bi-weekly experience that isn't a huge grind, but rather a core group that just wants an immersive experience.

If you would not mind having along a born-again noob for the journey, this is something that I'd definetely consider taking part in.

{I'm interested.} If anything, it'd be nice to get to know both of you. Still, I don't mind any server, and I have no preference for starting nation. In fact, I've been thinking of leveling a Taru character anyway, so at least you'd have one other shorty with me. Of course, I still have my main, Caes, and I'm actually in a static on Caes (if it doesn't fall apart). We don't static very often thus far, and if we do it's probably 1-2 days a week. So as long as this doesn't interfere, it'd be cool.

I'm on Shiva server, by the way. Oh, as for jobs, I'd ultimately prefer Samurai as my main. But if that's no good (melee Taru, though I don't see a problem) I might want to try some other job.

...wow.

First off, I'd just like to say thanks to all of you posting or sending me messages. After about a year and a half on CoH/CoV, I have almost forgotten what a real MMO community is like.

Next, a few things that might need to be thrown out there. Please remember that none of this is set until the people involved all agree on it, so these aren't rules, and you're not ruled out of this if something doesn't fit. Speaking with Atreu (who is about as awed by the response as I was), if this all works out, those involved are willing, we will all be starting over with new characters on whatever server. I know that if it's on Titan, we will have whatever resources that Atreu and I (and all our alts) had, so I know that any armor, crafting, items, gil I had, I will be using to supplement the group (unless of course that is tossed out by the group). I would hope, but don't expect, that others might do this if we hop to a server they have established characters on. I can't stress enough how much Atreu and I value the player over how well they play. We have had our share of close friends who have been considered some of the best at their jobs, and we have also had our share of complete idiots who bumbled up the simplest things, but made us laugh our butts off in the process (Puss, we really do miss you ^^). That being said, we are really hoping that people will be willing to work with the group but also show flexibility if unusual ideas pop up (say, someone really, REALLY wants to see if THF/WHM can work - that was just off the top of my head...).

Ok, a kind of revised list (again, this is not set, more like initial preference):
-willing to be a Tarutaru
-willing to start a new character
-willing to move to Titan server (not so much)


Those who have posted or sent me a message so far:
BeanX
Caes
Damoo
DogfishEckos
DreamerGuy
GinJin
Hellsashes
KEIKEE
Oceanabyss
Taterbom
Tiael
**************
WeeMatt
Wiergraf
Yarinn

For the most part, I will keep posting updates here. If you send (or sent) me a message, I'll answer them as I have info, but it will be easier to post here for now.

Thanks again all of you who have shown interest!

Just to clarify my post, I would be delighted to do all three of the things you listed below:

Quote:
-willing to be a Tarutaru
-willing to start a new character
-willing to move to Titan server




(Specifically because I'm looking to start over and I always played Taru! ;-)

I sincerely wish I could join. Sadly, I work in an environment with an ever-shifting schedule. So I cannot guarantee my attendance permanently.

I wish you a lot of luck in it. I've always wanted to convince 5 close friends to do this with me, but we can never have the consistant time together.
