Really?

On Remora things seem a bit different. There are tons of high levels, but the low and mid levels seem to be going strong as well.

About a week ago I was chocoing through the dunes to get to Lufaise and did a /search while I was in the area out of curiousity. 100 people in the area- most of them in their teen levels and several without sub-jobs. This was during the week too, not on the weekend.

In all the baby areas I've seen people running around with the new player "?" over their heads and althought RMT is certainly rebuilding their ranks after the last nuke SE dropped on them...these seem to be real new players- normal(ish) names, ? on their foreheads for several days, aimless wandering around town, typical "newbie" questions and the "blank stare before engaging a monster" behavior when outside as they try to fumble their way through the menus to attack something.

Not just a few either. Its practically impossible to run in one of the starter towns without seeing new players all over the place.

I'm on one of the oldest servers and we've got a good amount of newbies. Mostly EU peeps, but still.

Phoenix is one of the older servers? Didn't know that. At any rate, Keavy is right. We got a nice share of noobs in our server.

Phoenix is one of the five original servers. Our server has history. Think of all our server has seen in the four years since FFXI went live.

Okay, so all its really seen is a bunch of people playing but still...it has history.

Also, the new peeps seem to love PUP.

Day before last do a /sea all NIN 2 up and under and was none! Did with PLD and only one in a party.

See what I mean?

I'd only attempt at making a party if 2/3 important jobs were seeking as trying to persuade 3 important jobs to party is a nightmare.
