The Evolution of Vana'diel: Two years and counting...

This week marks the second anniversary of the FINAL FANTASY XI launch in North America. To celebrate we’ve compiled a list of some of the most momentous changes to Vana'diel during this time. We also added a bit of insight into the various reasoning behind certain changes with screenshots accompanying many of the details, too. http://na.square-enix.com/ffxi/evolution

i agree.... ffxi gave some good times..... but riddle me this.... how are we going to have the good times or talk to the friends we have made IF THEY ARE ALWAYS DOING S*** TO THE SERVER.... this sux.... i love ffxi and i really wouldnt care if they added all this crap.... outpost warp is nice but if we didnt have it... i wouldnt care... the new items are nice but if we didnt have them once again i wouldnt care... if you are a true ffxi lover then you wouldnt care about all the crap that they add... you would love to play... and all this time i dont get to play because they are always doing crap to the server...


Edit: i think the rare/ex update was good... besides that........

LOL look at how much fun those programmers have. Look at all the gear they have. NO ONE has both the Relic Sword and Relic Shield. The Samurai wearing PLD Abjuration gear. The Dragoon with relic axe and zenith gear on lol. Did you check those pics out there ridiculous.

Too bad they screwed up login YET AGAIN. Thanks SE. Nice 2 year gift there.
Left out Outpost Warping??
# Oct 21 2005 at 5:33 PM Rating: Decent
Should have made mention that in December 2003, we received the ability to Outpost Warp after the Christmas Treant event, allowing us to receive the option of Outpost Warping after doing a Supply Quest. That was a pretty significant change allowing me to not always choose White Mage to port myself places ":3
#joefriend, Posted: Oct 21 2005 at 5:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) this is rediculous... i can never play cause they always have a damn update(that seems not to fix anything) or "difficulties"... this game and POL can kiss my ***....

How about marking the point where your service started going downhill? It was right about after the XP to next level change

Well, at least they tried to keep us entertained with something during maintenance. I acctually remember when half this stuff came out (First time seeing Fenrir in party O_O;,the GP system for the guilds, all the various "nerfs", Ballistas introduction, CoP's announcement.) Was all the stuff really two years ago? dang.. time flies XD
