lmao, wait til its 45k >.>
Oh wait, damnit SE, it will be more like 30k ><

As Nataraja would've put it, "Cherried for Truth." Like I said in the updates post, your status as a level 75 is in no way threatened. And all you'd have to do is say "I did it before the update" if you wanted to bask in that glory. If people don't believe you, well, {That's too bad.} but you'll know the truth.

I am happy about this update. I may actually be able to gain a few levels now. It took me almost a week to get 20k exp, and I don't play all that often. There's no way I'd ever get 30k and up in that amount of time. Been playing since PC release and yeah, 60 is all the farther I am. Maybe, if the exp change is significant enough, I can level up again.

I think the best thing to do is wait to see how much the exp needed to level is actually adjusted... If it's only 1-2k, then that's really no more than an hour in a moderatly decent party. If it's more than it may indeed allow bad players to level up to where they would not have been able to before, and it may make it seem like those of us moving into the endgame levels "didn't have to work so hard."

However, I see really bad players in the 60's now, and if they're in the 60's, face it, they're going to get to endgame somehow no matter what kind of exp they need... And no matter what the exp adjustment is, it's still going to be an accomplishment for me to hit it because it still takes a whole lot of time. And for those who hit 75 before this change, props to you for the dedication it took to get to it...but don't whine or feel "stripped" because the game has challenges at all times and for all players (one example, those that have been endgame for awhile did it with an economy that was much, much more forgiving than the economy ingame now, etc.) It's not worth whining about...it's a challenge and an accomplishment for everyone.

Meanwhile at Square-Enix underwater volcanic Headquarters:

Mr. Square: The end-game in Final Fantasy XI isn't awful enough yet. Lackeys, give me solutions!
Lackey 1: We could crash the servers when the land kings come into NA times.
Mr. Square: Good, good. But it does not go far enough.
Lackey 2: We could reduce the total XP that you need to reach level 75, so end-game will become even more crowded and more drama can ensue from the lack of end-game activities.
Mr. Square: Excellent! Get on it right away.
Lackey 2: Thank you Mr. Square.
Mr. Square: And Lackey 1...
Lackey 1: Yes Mr. Square?
Mr. Square: For not coming up with an excellent idea, your life is forfeit.
Lackey 1: Bu-but Mr. Square, you liked my idea!
Mr. Square: Yes, but your life is forfeit regardless.

.=============System message=============.
We are experiencing an issue regarding King HNMs popping in NA's prime time,which is currently being addressed. Maintenance work will be conducted at the following time to fix this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Just wait until they make it so at every expansion, one can get the best gear of the previous expansion as a drop from some new xp zone.
Or maybe they're gonna make it so mobs in certain zones give 3 times normal xp ?
It's happenned, just not in FFXI...yet...

What scares me most is that... They started by making SMN not an "elite" job anymore... Then they're making it easier to get from 51 to 75... basically, making things easier and easier... Right now, the pace at which they make these things easier is rather slow-ish.

But who's to say it won't pick up a pace eventually ?

And then you get a game like EQ1 has become, or maybe like WoW is...

Make things too easy, and it becomes like fly-paper to idiots.


Maybe I'm worried over nothing. But then again, maybe I'm not.
