Hi - Aerec here! The reason why character creation is done via the website isn't due to playonline, its due to the team creating a third color hairstyle option for every face in the game. Since there isn't a way to insert this into the original FFXI character creation in the game client, we had to setup the website to allow players to be able to choose the new option. Love the video thanks for the support.

I played Horizon at launch. It was like reliving the original launch back on the PS2. I was giddy seeing tons of people standing around Valkurm Dunes. I remember during the Horizon launch week, the server crashing because they were reach 5k players at a time and Valkurm Dunes being absolutely overan by players and just that zone was crashing so often. I loved it. I was one of the first players to get unlock and level a Bard so groups were begging to party with me. I got to 70 by the 2nd month of release with my Bard, but fighting Mat for the LB4 quest to get past 70 demorialized me. After gathering all the items to fight Mat, then losing and having to do it all over again killed me. For the next 2 months I simply played other jobs & made money gathering. I am debating going back but I quit cold turkey just because I was one again addicted. I was playing 40 hours a week on average while having my 40 hour a week job, not to mention other household responsibilities. My RL friends were texting me wondering what I was up to, I was gaining weight, I often had headaches because I was barely sleeping 4 hours a night, and was generally ignoring responsibilties. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I truly relived my teenage years playing XI. I debate going back now but I have made many RL life improvements like getting in shape, playing other games, becoming more social again, but they itch to go back is soooo strong. Some people suggest playing a modern MMO where you can simply hop in & out within short play times, but modern MMOs like XIV just don't do it for me. They feel aracdey & plastic to me. My achievements really don't feel like accompliments.

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!

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.

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 disagree with their rejection of trusts. I think it would be advantageous for trusts to exist to enable player progression in the absence of parties, but with the caveat that there is a reduction of experience gained per non-player in the party (perhaps exponentially so), thus incentivizing players to seek out other players as party members whilst not condemning them to non-progression.

They never wanted to help NA players (even those who could read and write Japanese). I was on Caitsith and felt half the players didn't want anything to do with me or my friends. The darkest day came when my LS disbanded overnight. The LS was BROTHERHOOD, and most players knew each other from work. Our White Mage was CRASHER, and something went on at work. Everyone just stopped playing, and then the pearl broke one day. I miss CRASHER and BROTHERHOOD. If anyone out there was a member of BROTHERHOOD, please get in touch with me.

I was one of few that can say they beat FF11. Completed ever expansion in the 75 cap area, (Dream, Sky, Sea), 15 jobs to 75 all jobs to 37. I remember I could macro swap full sets of RA/EX into another full set of RA/EX for job abilities. With that i can say...NO this game isn't designed for a controller at all lol, with around 52 macro's programed on 10 different pages to swap too at any given time...Shift+number. I have been looking for a new game since the level cap killed what was 11, I just hearing of Horizon from this post, very interested in trying it out.

Does Horizon have the Fields of Valor books in zones? I feel that helps level progression

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

Joined at launch with the hopes of experiencing this game again with an rp linkshell. The ls I joined almost immediately died lol. Just reinstalled it today because this game will not release its grip on me. I'm disappointed the ls recruitment channel seems to be gone from the official discord. What is the best way to search for a new ls?

@@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.
@chriss68552 ай бұрын
The issue with this is that FF11 is a "dying" game and one that lost a substantial amount of its player base to FF14. Its gameplay isn't something that will appeal to modern audiences or at least not at a level that will cause the game to gain more players than it loses. Retail has a lot of QoL improvements that can help ease some of the issues that players may have but I see issues with Horizon within a few years. I've played the game since October 2003 and it was a serious grind to do anything back then and required serious time to accomplish what would be simple things in modern games. This isn't going to last.

Basically the best game ever made. However as much as it hurts, I would not recommend people play Horizon unless they have unironically 6+ hours per day to play, otherwise you are just wasting your time. As weird as it sounds I would recommend current retail ffxi to people. Game is populated as hell, and the quality of life stuff makes it possible to play and still not be a hermit. I know people shit on the lvl99 expansions stuff, but its more positives then negatives.

Going back to the days of FFXI wasting my time traveling and 200-250 exp max per fights? Pass... I lived through the era FFXI was in its prime. I wholly welcome the quality of life changes and not having to wait hours to try and get into a party.

I played on HorizonXI for a while and I found out that the community of players are very petty and passive aggressive.....the server has a handful of GMs and admins to handle these players and unfortunately these GMs and admins are very ineffective at handling any sort of disagreement or banter between players.....completely unable to distinguish who is the aggressor in the situation.....for instance, a player can be passive aggressive and drop you from a party or drop from your party and if you send them a /tell (whisper) and cuss at them, then they can report you and get you in trouble. Don't risk spending over a thousand hours of your life on HorizonXI just to get it deleted due to an incapable admin.

FF11 community in it's heyday had it's ups, but it also had it's downsides. It was highly toxic in many ways because of the rampant elitism. Pugging anything was a real rough time because there would be times you'd sit there all day advertising that you needed a group. You'd finally get into one after hours of shouting only for the group to break up after a mere 5 minutes of play. These two things were near consistent, and eventually turned me off of the game completely. When it worked though, it REALLY worked.

"The game was made with a controller in mind". No, the game was made with the PC in mind, the release of XI was purely PC until the release of the 1st expansion, "Rise of the Zilart" that would later be released on a PS2 port.

Just be aware of the favoritism in this server as well as rude "helpers". Server is full of bots, gil farmers selling gil in game, and GMs quite literally giving the "top" players/linkshells items/gear and sometimes even gil, if you can keep that bad taste out of your mouth im sure you will have a lot of fun.

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 :)
