Nah, got banned after I asked why Aerec could give a Charybdis back to a group after SSG R0'd but wouldn't give KV back to my ls after the zone R0d. I did enjoy Eden for the past 3 years, though. Much less custom changes. I get why the nostalgia brings people back when they learn about private servers.

Aerec isn't banning anyone for asking that question. What did you really do?

I've been avoiding it while all the bugs and kinks get worked out. But it's looking pretty darn good now.

Great Video

Been playing since launch. Took a month or 2 break and went right back like a shoulder blade. Character name is Neesta.

Having a lot of fun!

add race change god damnit!

Oh, I thought it was because the information of the users information is being sold?

I played in the golden age and have multiple life long friendships. We sound like old dudes telling war stories lol. Modern games and mmos you can straight up ignore people. I started FF14 year before last , I completed everything the following year, and talked to no one other than a little chat for some of the harder boss battles for tactics. Its basically pointless as to why its even multiplayer. I played ffxi for damn near 10 years and still didn't finish everything.

could be a bit of a time sink, maybe play for rank instead of gil?

I’ve played brd and beat maat using double Eva songs and hp regen drinks! Go get em!

Wild how much this relates. When I stopped playing XI years ago, I missed it dearly. Still do, and I played back when it first came out. I was always afraid that if I went back I would once again slip into that hole of devoting hours to play, and barely any to RL. My character was Verien. Almost every job was 75, high level cooking and fishing, and some other crafts. But damn if I didn't love it and make good friends and have fun. Good memories!

As a former THF/SAM/then BRD main main...I feel ya. Merit parties at 2AM lololol *huh* "yeah, sure...ballad again".

@@seyumaiayami3536 brd was my favorite job to merit with lol. I loved being the puller, but could easily merit anywhere from 2-10hrs straight. Such a time suck 🤣.

i played archage at launch

Dangggg that’s the dream, having someone help grind for you lol

I just hope it sticks aroundb

Sorry you get shit on so much Kip. I stopped playing but I heard people constantly gossiping about you and taking your help for granted. Just wanted to let you know you're better than these no-life burnouts.

shame they ran it into the ground instead of either keeping it going or letting it die with honor

Same, it was a fun time but now it's only suitable for terminally online shut-ins.

Yea, I agree, but if the game allows you to have the same characters again, you will probably be back in a rush. We veterans just want to have what we earned and continue on our journey.

Thanks for checking it out!

Hey definitely appreciate the support. I’m small time but I try to put some passion into what I make. Thanks for the comment too, makes me keep going! 🫡

My DQ10 video in the future may interest you then. It’s a mmo that’s like a single player rpg and it plays like 11 sort of.

Nope definitely still alive!

Made the change and now my Galka looking real thicc.

Level another job is my go to.

@HYDRAdude Top Goals Not In Any Order: 1. Level Job to 75 2. Level at least 1 sub to 37 3. Rank 6 Nation to Unlock Dynamis 4. ZM Missions to Unlock Sky 5.

Learn the Important ENM fights (Pulling the plug, Like the Wind, Sheep's in Antlion Clothing, Test your Mite, etc) Can do 1 per Zone every 5 days. So can do both Pulling the Plug and Like the Wind because they are in different locations. 14. Do BCNMs for Gil or Items. (AA for Gil selling ele ores, Up in Arms for Oclub) 15. KSNM for Gil or Items (Multiple options most pay well or drop great items depending on job) 16. Eco Warrior Weekly for easy 10,000+ Exp, Tag on Uninvited Guests, Tav Cookbook, and Spice Gals for another 9k ish total if progressed far enough in CoP 17. Take up HELM (Logging, Mining, etc all great here or fishing) 18. Random Events (Like Halloween right now from Oct 15th to Early Nov. Get a FREE WARP STAFF that recharges once every 20 hrs. Amazing, Do NOT miss it takes 2 mins tops to get, just trade cookies to the Halloween NPCs in Nation Towns til you get them) 19. Talk on Discord, most of the Devs are great and people generally are good. Message me /tell Ashinra 20. Farm Gil by killing mobs and earning Beastmen Seals to do BCNMs or KSNMs These are a couple of the things that come to mind. If you have any questions msg here or in game :)

Get 75 and min max gear is basically what the old guys do. 😂😂

Don't remind me about lb5 stupid meat and the damn rdm test farming!

It’s nice to see things like that for sure. Even playing retail you see it sometimes.

That's why I stopped playing as well. I finished so so so many hours of quests and side quests, relic gear and weapons on retail. I'm not really willing to do all that all over again haha. But Horizon is fun if you miss the community aspect. I prefer to play solo these days.

Yeah, I was in the same boat. I felt the crack seeping into my veins again, but man...I just can't justify making that kind of time for it. Ended up with a 32 WHM and something like 74 Fishing lol.

I couldn’t believe it when I looked and saw I had put so much time into it. I want to start over as a Galka just to be unique but even the thought of that makes me sick lol.

Sheesh I’m jealous!

Hey thank you for those kind words! Ya definitely! Can always go for a duo group somewhere.

You definitely won't have time for it unfortunately. I tried having a relationship while juggling playing this game and it almost ruined things before I quit. Literally can't afford to go back.

Alos - no, Mr "I don't actually understand human psyche" - something taking a long time (or otherwise being a slog) doesn't automatically make The Player feel "amazing". Basic things taking too long feels like crap to most people, even those who pantomime how great teh old days were (not).

If it makes you feel any better I purchased a Logitech Keyboard PS2 Controller to play Horizon and it doesn't work, and there are no drivers for it. 😔

@@ChaseFace well that sucks

Thanks for checking it out

I think most people enjoyed the social aspect of the game. You made friends from the experience and didn’t mind the gameplay.

Sorry bro 😂

Have fun dude!

@@VagrantVideosthanks! spent 10 mins trying to figure out how to do the simplest of things lmao this game is very humbling x D

I’m conflicted on playing retail or a private server:

​@@VagrantVideos the 2 offer different experience. Retail is a solo game like FF12, private is an old school mmorpg. My main issue with retail is that the staff don't try to fix the game anymore. Many old content are broken like besiege or campaign and would need level cap. There is no official HD texture pack, no real new expansion, no classic server. They just let the game slowly dying.

When quality of life improvment became to come in 2013 in retail it was cool, it was making the game easier to play. But there now too much in retail. Teleport is so cheap that airship and boat are useless, mount are so easy to gain that chocobo raising and location are useless. Trust was great when it was introduce because it was not really fully for solo. It was limited to 3 characters and you couldn't have more than one until level 15(and kupipi was the only healer available for starter, so you need to travel and play the quest to gain them). So it was not game breaking. But now, you have 3 at the start and can gain 3 just after the start of the quest. And you can increase the amount of trust to 5, killing the multiplayer, but also the adventure companion quest

I think the QoL started to sucks with rapshody of vanadiel, this scenario should not be played by new player

It’s definitely a good time!

They definitely are. Everyone I’ve talked to is friendly.

@@VagrantVideos Good to know!

I can get behind that honestly. I think in modern 11 (which I play too) trusts just makes parties obsolete

I play on Bahamut on retail every now and then. I’ve been told Siren has lower population but they are way more friendly.

Apparently this is common with 11, if you run any other thing that takes priority it will close the game.

Thnx for checking it out!

Windurst warriors for life.

@@VagrantVideos I am in that linkshell as well. Maybe I'll see you there (IGN Lilica).

Totally, 2 hands on keyboard always :D I miss pulling merit parties on bard, middle bird camp pulling both camps, that shit could tax you to the edge of keyboard capabilities lol.

Oh my god you are bringing back my nightmares. I only now remember how bad my addiction must have been to this game that I easily spent hours making macros for my various jobs on controller.

They do but I think they are disabled by default. At least I don’t remember them having it in horizons.

Either in game or discord I would think. I’m currently working on retail so that I know how to tackle it in horizon lol

@VagrantVideos I contemplated retail since Mr Happy has announced his Van Adiel March event but idk if I have it in me to fight through the install boss and sort out add ons again lol.

@@lebanc571 yeah I still largely don't like my current UI setup but its a pain to research and find one that makes it look neat or even closely to FF14.

Patience, stubbornness, focus etc. are skills too that certainly not everyone has :)

You realize, that you almost compared those qualities to that of Watering a Plant, and then watching it grow. 🙂@@Slinttomas There is a different between 'want to' and 'cant'.

Dang lol on a picture server that’s crazy

Not sure if they have Mac client

About 1k+ players online daily.

But like cmon

8:53 dunes, i will notfear the mindkiller

That’s not what articles say online lol. All the sites I went to indicates it came out for PS2 FIRST in Japan specifically then PC. In the US it was reverse, US got the game on PC first THEN PS2.

That might be a thing on literally every private server I’ve ever played.

Ppl forget u play a free game they give us, u can also play retail and pay like 15 bucks a month 😂

I actually do play retail, I liked the concept of horizon until it became inhabited by cry babies and rude ass gms/devs and just annoying cliques all around. Horizon Xi is built solely off the info on FFXI wiki and if you're an OG player like I am playing since 2004 you would know FFXI wiki is dog shit and doesn't actually have the correct information for most item sets, missions, bcnms etc. The majority of people playing thf on horizon got their AF gear by having it spawned in their inventory. Yeah retail isn't what it use to be in its prime but I take retail any day over a power hungry ran private server..... @@leroyschinkel1359

This post shouldn't be taken as if its the common consensus which it may sound like. GMs have done a great job removing bots, gilsellers - alot of bans. Also removed people from staff for questionable behaviour and abuse of power. Its still a private server - but very professionally handled. I guess thats why its so popular :)
