So basically this is a server where everyone is best friends with each other, super polite, very helpful, no drama, no disagreements, perfect community. Well that's what they want new people to see anyway and having a Discord of people being people will counter that. Fourms are routinely deleted or "cleaned up" by mods to insure this. But that's the true reason why there won't be a server discord. I know it would have helped a bunch to have a server discord when I started back up.



Mods have to clean posts up because of stupid shit like this. Christ almighty. There isn’t a server discord because it’s a collosal pain in the ass, because people like you would make posts like this all the god damn time.

Seems like you should just make a discord server.. and invite ppl you like and stuff.. maybe make a pearl where you can also talk.. if this thread isn't a good representation of why there shouldn't be a "server" discord then i don't know what is.

In my opinion FFXI is so foreign and uninviting to newcomers (of this era) that they often leave before they figure out how to join a linkshell. They never get the help/have specific questions answered in the first place.

People need their hands held these days (at least until they’re hooked) or they get frustrated/lose interest.


I agree with your sentiment, but I think new players must be willing to make the first step and seek out help. It isn't really difficult to find at all.

I started a month ago and the veterans here on forums published detailed gil-making guides, in-game people offered help and a link pearl, I want a poster of Meeep in my bedroom because his fishing guide is so awesome, etc. Today I'm not a galka hobbo and can help other people because I got the resources to buy a couple of things now and then. Luv y'all :3

I've had no problem receiving help via Linkshell and /shout and on Nasomi whenever I was in a bad spot, the community is awesome and the in-game avenues provided already work.

Unlike a WoW guild, it is socially-acceptable to have many link pearls for various purposes, crafting, running BCNMs, helping newbies, social chat, etc.

Find a linkshell that suits your needs and you should be golden. Several of them also have their own private Discord too, if you don't like typing.

This isn't pre school if people need their hands held then perhaps they should play something easier.

No, you should join a LS or two.

How am I supposed to unnecessarily speak in auto-translate with my actual voice?
