So... when I get back into FFXI

[Fiye]

I think I'm just going to sneak to another server. Anyone got room for a 75 WHM on their HNMLS or something?

I don't really care where. As long as it isn't a.) On Fairy and b.) Has some HNMLS activities that won't control your life 24/7.

*Puts a "Full" sign up on Phoenix server*

Yeah, boy...we're packed in there like sardines *Laughs nervously* Good luck with one of the other servers. See you around!

Many people don't act friendly once they know you're not originally from their server.
When moving servers don't expect to be accepted just anywhere.
Unless you have a couple of good friends on one in a good linkshell, it might be a bad idea to move.

[ScarlettPheonix]

Really?

Haven't noticed that on Remora, its generally "Oh, really? Well, /welcome"

Could be because Remora has already been through two mass migrations already that the "native" Remorans like me are used to coming across people who were originally from different servers.

Anyway- if you wander over here my Sky shell will soon be starting up Dynamis and Limbus runs and there's no such thing as too many whms.

We're staying away from Kings though- the management seriously hates Kings

[Ambrey]

If your smart, you wont goto Remora. Its one of the biggest drama filled servers in FFXI, especially end game. Too many elitists, RMT and just loud mouth morons on the server.

I was originally from Alexander, if it hadn't been for the good friends I had made on Remora, I would almost be wishing I had stayed on Alexander.

[ScarlettPheonix]

Unbaised much?

Remora is hardly the worst for drama. Asura and Midgar have always had Remora beat for that. And really, name me one server that hasn't had its share of drama between shells.

Honestly except for Apathy (and they're largely lol these days) there's not that much tension/drama between the various endgame shells I've come across. But like I said. my shell doesn't do Kings so it may be a bit different at the ground camps.

Also- the RMT presence in endgame is way way down, to the point of being nearly extinct in sky. Since getting back into Sky whenever my shell has done a run (during peak NA play times, btw) we're often either the only shell up there or one of maybe 3 legit shells very very rarely do we see more than that~ and we do runs 3-4 times a week so we're up there a lot. .

*Puts a "Full" sign up on Phoenix server*!

I think I'm going to join Phoenix just to spite you, Keavy.

*Points up to the top left* MithraPride FTW!!!!

But really? I never noticed that with Valefor. Some people were a bit put off but the sudden "Random people with damn awesome equipment", but it wasn't something where we were shouting "Get the fsck off this server and back to your own god damn one!".

Anyway- if you wander over here my Sky shell will soon be starting up Dynamis and Limbus runs and there's no such thing as too many whms.

We're staying away from Kings though- the management seriously hates Kings

Thats... awesome. If I hit by Remora, and I think I might, I'll send you a /tell then.Though, before I do so... I gotta get my cape and belt from Ktjn.

Oh yes, whats the current rate of Ancient Beastcoins over there? I need to know if I should sell what I have right now, or keep 'em.

And if you want to know about drama. Just look at RedBranchTribe. I've gotten sick of it to the point where its like... I'll drop the pearl when such a thing happens.

I'm just looking for a server with a good amount of set up HNMLS activities. The best HNMLS on Valefor (Formerly Rare/Ex. Now just Rare) does so much crap it owns your life. And then you got linkshells like Midnightrun that I want to join up with (Due to the fact they're well established and I can't thanks to the fact I can't stay up that late. (I have to wake up at 5:00 A.M. Soon it'll be 6:00 if I can get out of band.) And then there's the shells that are beginning to start up, which Valefor is full of. (Shells such as TornadoLS, Dynastyz, RedBranchTribe, and etc...)

End-Game FFXI sucks because sometimes it feels more like a job. And at the same time, there's isn't enough to do. Its perhaps the oddest feeling I've ever gotten in an MMO because I've only hit end-game in this game.

[ScarlettPheonix]

As of tonight and the single shout I saw in whitegate~ 11k

I don't know the current bazaar price, but I'll ask around.

[Fiye]

>,> Damn!. I'm gonna have to sell if thats the real rate then. *Bought them for 15k+ on valefor*

You do know most of Remora's gil sellers originally came from Asura don't you?

[Keavy]

*grabs a shotgun*

We have enough WHM's on Phoenix.

[ScarlettPheonix]

Yes, Ambrey and now they're gone. Say what you will, but SE has done a pretty decent job of taking care of the RMT in endgame.

I am involved with two end game LSs on Garuda.

Their web site addresses:

http://www.oceanids.co.uk/phpbb3/phpbb3 ... 2df66d57c8

http://lordsofhydra.com/ Actually named Valor, and you won't be able to see the Valor forums section till you are accepted into the LS. /sigh

Both do all endgame activities with an emphasis on Sea, so you are not locked into camping things that spawn over an 8 hour window.

ABCs 10 - 11K on garuda mostly with the price occasionally going to 15.

[Kintrra]

Alexander is stuffed full of drama anymore. We've had quite a good number of people leave our server because of it, and our end-game is rediculous.

Finale, ICBM, Claimed, and Infusion, are the four big shells, ranking in current "top dog" status, respectively. I was once with Finale, but an argument with some of the more elitist asses in the shell caused me to get infuriated past my patience, and I dropped the shell. Also, end-game (at least ground based end-game), is heavily botted on Alexander. If your shell has no botters, you'll get 1 out of maybe every 20 or 30 pops, if you're lucky.

[Fiye]

Oh my god...

<3 Valour's Karma system. EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Wait... *Looks at core time* fsck! GMT *Cries*.

Their core time is pretty much 7/9 A.M. - 4 P.M. PDT.

Fail!

Thanks for the warning on Alexander. I'm not interested in a overcamped server. (Especially over bot camped.)

Looks like I'm going to Phoenix Keavy

But really, how often does the HNMLS you're in do events. I saw your post about the fact that your LS does Sky every-other day (Something I'm not fond of, but since I need Zenith armor... ONWARD!). Will they be replacing Sky days with other events? Or will they just squeeze everything in much to my disgust. And, what is the penalty for not attending Sky camps. Like... lets say I D/C have way through my 3rd sky camp for the day, and attend the 4th. Do I get a penalty for such a thing? Because in RBT, I got fucked for D/Cing at the last 30 minutes of a SKy camp (After being there for about 5 hours).

I know its a bit of an annoyance, but since RBT is the only real HNMLS I've been in... I gotta make sure I don't encounter the same horrible mistakes again. (Dynastyz just reeked of failure)

Sorry, I forgot to mention that for some strange reason (like perhaps not having a 9 - 5) I got involved with two EU - British Isles based LSs.

Wherever you wind up, good hunting and best fishes.

Yes, Ambrey and now they're gone. Say what you will, but SE has done a pretty decent job of taking care of the RMT in endgame.

From my point of view, what they did was get rid of the 24x7 sky farmers and gut the economy. Better than doing nothing, but they still continue to support the claim-bot crowd by putting the most valuable items on game-spawned critters. When pressed about the claim-bot problem they run and hide, "We have a task force that will take care of that if you call a GM." The one interviewer that managed to corner them finally got them to say "Well, there's really no way to detect a claim bot".
