Hey all,
I used to play FFXI back when it launched in North America, I imported a copy all the way to the UK on launch day. The game was fun at the time; I played on Diabolos, unlocked multiple advanced jobs, and played a ranger to late 30's, but several factors lead to me leaving, most notably the time zone difference (which was a big issue back then), problems getting groups, and the release of WoW. I played that since it's NA release right up till a few months ago and after trying various other MMO's I finally wanted to give FFXI another go.
Last week I ordered a fresh copy of the game, as I'd foolishly thrown away my old box set a while back, loosing my POL ID, and I'm looking for a little advice or a few suggestions for which server would be a good choice. I've read through many of the server forums, both here and at the ffxiclopedia forums, but I'm still a little unsure of which to join.
As I already stated, I'm in the UK so I'm ideally looking for a server with a decent EU / UK population and perhaps even a friendly LS who would be willing to take a returning player in. Obviously I'd be starting afresh so wouldn't be looking for anything endgame for quite a while, if at all; I play MMOs to enjoy myself and help others, not to run around proclaiming that I'm better than everyone else (something which was sadly rampant in WoW).
If anyone has any questions, I'd gladly answer them.
Thanks for reading and all the best,
Neko
