Returning for free login weekendFollow

I just noticed that there is going to be a trial return campaign from the 11th to the 13th...

I might return to check that is new in the 2.1 patch

Just a question: I used to love ffxi pre-abyssea partying structure, I believed that the cooperation was the vertebral column of the game... nowadays this is old school and snobbed by who hates grinding, etc... Has anything moved in this direction in the past months?
tks

With the addition of Duty Roulette and the Recommendation system in dungeons, parties in dungeons are a lot more chatty and friendly. It's not quite FFXI levels of cooperation in an exp party, but the entire experience is waaaaay more fun now that people are being nice to each other.

Last night I told a couple of guys (I'm assuming they were friends) in my DR Tamtara group that their names were making me hungry. Free Chipotle and Killer Tortuga. Everyone got a giggle out of it. I had a really delicious Tortuga rum cake once.

Nevermind,
I found the answer here

I think unless you are talking about bigger changes like race/gender and such there is now a barber (in the game) that you can use to alter hairstyles and that sort of stuff.

Correct. There's a quick mini quest that starts in Limsa, then you can summon them from inside the inn room.

You cannot change race, size, gender, or skin tone, but you can alter you appearance in most other ways. I've gone through two new hairstyles since this was added in. (Right now I've got on pince-nez glasses and Miquote war paint. I look pretty badass.)

It should come in your mogmail, might take a little while, but you should not have to wait 30 days afaik. It is like with longer subscription bonuses, if you buy 90 days you get the veteran reward for it right away.

I think they did for a while but honestly I almost quit the game last night and returning to FFXI.. I ran into the biggest a-holes ever in duty finder and worse I ran into the same group twice. Allot of endgame does not have the recommendation and I really think a- holes will be a-holes and there is nothing you can do about it unless SE kicks them..... The fact you can not get a gm in this game too stop this crap.. Now they run in pack and abuse the boot system... Really think the last few weeks it is far worse than even before.. I dont know if this is WOW thing or what.. But I am honestly sick of DF now.. Seems low level dungeon are still ok but not with end game because most of them are beyond this stuff now..

Try doing king moogle, ct or titan and see what it is like. Ct aint as bad as the the other 2..

What happened to respecting each other. Little kids hiding behind a KB ... Honestly I am starting to think this game is worse than halo or cod for rudeness sometimes.



I am also not one to swear in the forums but these people crossed the line last night on what is even close to acceptable behavior.

1.0 players got one for free due to the expanded features of character creation. Since they added more to character creation I think they felt it was necessary to allow old players to get in on the new features. The second fantasia was more of a mulligan for new players who had all the features, but still weren't completely satisfied with their looks.

talking about rude people, i was quite happy with the italians in excalibur, bt ended up with some rough ppl...
when they emigrated to ragnarock I stayed behind.... so... would excalibur as legacy server be a good choice for someone like me that values social > gameplay?

by the way, I'm in Gmt-3

You could also save characters you'd made in the character creator before actually choosing a server. So if the server you wanted was blocked, you could reload your previously designed character infinite times til you get a server you wanted.

$25, I think? Not sure what it is in other currencies like euros though.
