Took awhile to find you all. Sounds like you all have dominated the server and that there isn't much of a challenge anymore for you guys and that there has been a lot of changes in the linkshell. Anyways, just stopping by to say hi and seeing how everyone is doing. Hopefully my character is still alive :)
Yo tarya! Tris is still keepin ur character alive lol. Yea ton of changes to game and the ls both.. but were still kickin. Lota ppl left but then again many came back recently too. Good to hear from u.
I was thinking of coming back for a little bit there, but then couldn't find where you guys went and if my character was still alive and kicking. Oh well.
Let me know what changed, I just may consider a come back, but I'm sure my ranger is out of date. :)
Hey Tarya, the nice thing about coming back to the game is that everything is so different now you can update your character in no time. Almost all items are r/ex and most NMs can be killed with 3 people. The bad part is that so many people left and most of the old guys are in a different LS now.
I don't see Tristain on very much but I haven't heard of the account changing hands.
A few months after Panda quit, while Wite was running the shell, there was a dispute in the LS concerning event choices and item distribution that basically caused a 50/50 split. Shortly following that a bunch of people in this half, including most of the sacks, left to play Rift.
Raes and I have been running this shell since. Most of the TW members stopped coming onto Zerg pearl because HNMs fell out of prominence and the new content is lowman-friendly so they didn't need to come on anymore. After the Japanese earthquake shut down the game for a week a bunch of people never came back after being cold-turkey weaned off.
While there are older members still around, the LS had to recruit newer members to fill the void (the shell is about 60/40 split on members who were here before/after the 75 cap)
When some of the Rift people came back they went to the other shell.
Oh!! Who would've thought that Panda would've quit. He was so in love with the game.
That's too bad about what happened to shell and it's members.
Sounds like with raising the cap level they made the game a bit too easy now. Should've made the HNM tougher as well. Oh well, what can you do.
With a come back, not too sure that this would be the best time. With summer here, need to stay outside more. Golfing, biking, rollerblading and such. i will keep you all posted if I do want to come back :)
Think Trist still has your account but I've not seen him on to ask.
The Final Fantasy XI: Abyssea Edition is on sale on Steam for $13 here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/39250/ which would be the cheapest way to get the 3 Abyssea adds on. (You can apply the Abyssea edition code to existing accounts to get all expansions & add ons) It might get cheaper if it goes on a 24 hour sale - The daily deals change each day until July 10th.
You would be aswell getting Abyssea and talking to the NPC in Port Jeuno to start your traverser stones building up, even if you dont want to play just now. Stones are required to enter Abyssea areas. You get one every 20 hours. If you start acculumating them now, you'll have hundreds later in the year meaning you'll never run out of stones to enter abyssea.
Trist might still be paying for Tarya's content ID, I'm not sure.
