I'm a returning FFXI player who's been away for about 4 years. I just picked up the 2007 collection for old times sake and had a few questions.
1. Are any of the new zones that come with the expansions appropriate for lower level characters to adventure in, or are they all for hight level characters?
2. Can I pick which server I want to play on or is it randomly assigned?
Thanks!
Croix

Depends on your definition of "low-level." RotZ has areas 25ish and up, CoP has level-capped areas 30ish and up. ToAU is basically all high-level.
2. You can pick any server you want. No more World Passes required. Ellipses on Fenrir There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

Also, it's become the epicenter for pretty much all shouting nowadays, so asking for high level help for something might be easier from Whitegate than from Jeuno, though you don't necessarily have to do that. ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~Aksannyi~~Hades~~75WHM~75RDM~75BLM~64WAR~~Mama Gamer~~<3 Cerealkiller~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~  ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 11-07-2007, 11:24 AM | #4 (permalink) | | The Closer Super Moderator Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 5,028 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 152 Thanked 592x in 373 Posts Gil: 16,738 Bank: 29,551 Total Gil: 46,289 Donate | Re: Returning player with a question Originally Posted by Croix | | ps.

Being away from this game for so long pretty much makes me a newbie so your advice is greatly appreciated!
Are most of the people who frequent this forum from one particular server or is it pretty much a mix? | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 11-07-2007, 12:14 PM | #7 (permalink) | | Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Al'Taieu Posts: 2,859 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 495 Thanked 499x in 340 Posts Gil: 1,656 Bank: 79,197 Total Gil: 80,853 Donate | Re: Returning player with a question Well there's a linkshell based off this forum on Kujata, but a lot of us populate many servers.

So, that's where I ended up. I will be playing very casually over the next month to see if I get back into the game. If there are any casual/social linkshells out there looking for members give me a shout.
Thanks again for all your help guys/gals.
