It sounds like the general consensus, and the view from Nas is enjoy the content while you can, and take a break when your bored, while watching for a different private server that supports all 75 content.

I love the Nas server, and think he does a great job. My only negative comment is this 1 stance that he knows what the players want, and it is not ToAU. No one knows what the players really want which is why typially there are teams of GM's and devs constantly tweaking the code. Also every game ever made that has the ability to release an expansion does so to encourage people to stay that little bit longer. By saying no to ToAU, which, could possible work in a couple years Nas server becomes akin to Super Mario Bros. Yes it is super fun to pull out, and play through, but after a couple plays it goes back in the box stored again for years.

Don't let the Nas FFXI end up in my box of old game. Think of the old players who have finished the content, and are ready to retire, and the new players who won't have as much help to play, and leave in frustration. Run the server how you wish, but please don't pretend we're cookie cutter sprites that all have the same goal.

I don't read the stories anymore, or care about nitpicking story line, and plot twists. I just want to have fun with a bunch of random strangers beating up monsters, collecting loot, and enjoying the FFXI I remember through THICK smudged glass. ToUA does have benefits obv or it never would have been implemented.

If the stance is no ToAU then take it completely out. Delete everyone's ToAU jobs/gear, and move on as a CoP server. Being on the fence with ToAU is what is causing these debates.

And then eventually everyone will do everything in TOAU and we have to use the next expansion. And then the expansion after that. Ad infinitum.
