Yo!

I'm considering starting back up soon, but wondering if anyone can give some insight into how difficult it is to progress here? I played from PS2 launch and played for many, many years. Username was Elven and I played on Unicorn. My memories consist of 100s of hours grinding to level up early-game, Sky+Gods (Kirin runs) nearly every day, dynamis, BCNMs, NM hunting, etc.

Are there enough beginners around to form parties and grind out levels like the old days? If anyone can share their progression timeline and overall experience with me, that'd be great!


Character Name: Elven
Played FFXI? PS2 launch to the day before Unicorn was being merged/stopped.
Years Played: Too many!
How you found us? Was considering signing back up when I caught Ninja's stream and learned of Nasomi.
Other MMO's? Nope - was 100% dedicated to FFXI, Halo and CoD back in the day.
Anything else? Considering starting back up soon - hopefully run into some people I used to know from Unicorn!

You will have 0 issues making a party in Dunes, and will in fact might have to wait on camps. Parties shouldn't be an issue. Especially if you make you own parties you won't have to wait long.

Yo everyone, after dinner I wanted structure over fireworks, so I picked Big Bass Bonanza. World rules: 100 spins, flat bets, update the ledger every 20. The first half drifted, but I didn’t touch stakes; I just breathed and let the base game do its thing. In the middle of that calm I continued at spingranny with the same plan. Free spins finally landed; the fisherman hauled enough to cover the slide and add coffee money. I wrapped there, exported the notes, and actually enjoyed the boring green.
