Indeed. Hades being one of the newer servers, we have a heavy European population. Back when I didn't have a job, LFPs while I wasn't on a good prime time lend to slow invites, but I didn't mind since I had all the time in the world. Then again, I main DRG so that didn't make much of a difference. Now I have to watch out when to LFP and set up leveling days aside. Still, fun like crazy soloing for exp while waiting.

That's one of the things that keep me playing FFXI. The unique jobs, and the fact I can switch and try others on the spot. Also, the forced partying is fun on my case; use to play Ragnarok Online alone more times than I can remember. Here, not only are you forced to communicate, you can make a new friend easier than ever.

Then of course comes the depth of the missions and blah blah blah, I'm sure everyone's already said this-- not in this forum alone.

... and I didn't even answer any one of your questions. Lawls. I do however, understand this MMO isn't for everyone. I know some people who don't have a lot of time but still accomplish so much, just for their love of this MMO. I suppose you can lean back and reminisce in your old noob days from when you first picked up FFXI, on what you liked about it.
