Unfortunately I can not remember my ID or password (Who CAN remember those IDS? Jeeeeez!) and even if I DID remember it, my character has nothing. Before I left I tossed everything to prevent myself from returning (Hence the left on bad terms I previously stated).

U don't need either, only need to answer ur personal infomation details and know the last 4 digits of the credit card # u signed up with! Thats all they asked me....

Hm, is that so? Well, that's good to know if I ever decide to return! If I ever do decide to return it won't be until after the new expansion is released.

WotG is already out and nothing new has been announced!

Wings of the Goddess was the one I was thinking of. I saw it splattered all over the front page and assumed it was being released shortly.

Merging the servers is only something you do when your game is failing hard and have to keep the population full {ex Sony, and all their crap games}  FFXI is in the top 5 most played MMOs.

 

 

By your definition, FFXI must be crap, just like Sony's games, and failing hard right from the beginning. Because FFXI had at least 3 merges in the past.

Ixion, Typhon and Kirin are the names of the servers that was closed, and their populations were moved to Bismarck and Kujata.

Is it possible in your opinion for a server merge to happen any time soon?

In my opinion?

No

Why? Because FFXI's playerbase has not changed much for at least 3 years, maybe more. Unless something happened very recently, it's still around 500,000. Nothing changed, so I doubt merges will happen anytime soon.

Almost everyone who leaves comes back the player base has stayed pretty much at the same amount since I started playing on Diabolos.

Honestly, never had problems finding a dunes party, do you mean 10-15 people in the dunes IN YOUR LEVEL RANGE?  

Every time I check the dunes there are around atleast 30, right now there are 37 people on a Saturday night playing in Valkrum, so...  I think your facts aren't facts.

I admit FFXI isn't for everyone, if you have no patience then your playing the wrong MMO, but a server merge is TOTALLY unwarented

Allow me to explain why this would be BAD

level 40-42 there is ONE CAMP you can effectively camp at for the entire game that most people will agree on,  Nest beetles in Crawlers nest.

Many other places in the game have the same issues, not enough monsters to kill for more than a few parties, the way the servers population is now there is JUST enough people to get a party, but not too many where you can't find a CAMP.

Server populations are perfect as they are

You're just a wee bit late by 6 months or so. Anyway, now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

I agree 100%

I'll just correct you on this bit. There are alternatives to every camp at all level ranges. Quicksand Caves is one of the 40 camps that can take its place. Other that, yeah, server merges would not be in our best interests right now.

Many other places in the game have the same issues, not enough monsters to kill for more than a few parties, the way the servers population is now there is JUST enough people to get a party, but not too many where you can't find a CAMP.

Unless you're the spoiled Aht Urghan crowd. :p

Server populations are perfect as they are

Having just leveled 4 jobs through that level range I can say for sure that you are wrong, i'm sorry Quicksand caves is higher level than that, at 39-41 the only place is either take T-VT worker crawlers or Nest beetles which are actually IN your level range

the four jobs are War, Blm, Rdm, and Nin.

West altepa desert is AFTER Nest beetles and so is Quicksand caves, don't believe me? go make a party and try it.

Also, there are plenty of guides to back up what I have to say.   oh and Yes the Gustav tunnel camp would be an alternative, but no one likes to go there EVER.

Even in Aht Urgan there is very limited camp space, I at times can't even make a merit party, not from lack of players, from lack of camps.

There are so few good end game camps to actually merit at.

My point is that the problem is not lack of players, its lack of good camps.

People are spoiled by Aht Urghan camps now. Merit burns and all that. I wouldn't mind going to Sky or Bibiki Bay or any of the older places for exp. I guess I'm just old fashioned though.

I would love to come back to FFXI, really.

I want them to merge the servers, and I think it's a necessary thing to do. I could so rarely find a party, and even if I did after it was finally put together the players would seem to systematically leave the group.
