FFXI Newb

[HurdytheBard]

I've been playing FFXI for about two months, but I don't really think I've quite got the hang of it yet.

My character is an Elvaan male, and level 10 Thief. You can find him in the forum 'FFXI Profile.' I'm currently in the Bahamut server, and considering switching. So, if someone could recommend a good server for est that would be great. Anyway, I'd like to know; Would anyone be interested in helping a new player get started in the world of Vana'diel?

A decent amount of TFFers play on Shiva? or Alexander (I think Alexander is no more)now, me included. (when I get my own internet I will be back on that is)

I would level up with you whenever I get back into the game. It's not that tough. Maybe grind out to level12 and head to the Dunes and look for groups. I eventually got invited to a Field Manual farm group.

Aye, Alexander got merged into Shiva some time ago now. Most of the people from around here who still play are on that server.

My Mithra is Dawezy, and Loco with his Elf is Argentos, ZRO has Kintrra - we're all on Alexander.

Forget the usernames of other TFFers

We don't bite

It's Shiva tho just as Loco said.

My name is meatloaf on Shiva/Alexander if I can use that trial one still but I might have to start over again.

I switched servers to Shiva yesterday. It seems a lot less empty than my old server.

I'm Darklady on Shiva, formally Alexander, and have been playing FFXI (on and off) since April, 2008.

So what you mean to say is that you're playing again? Because that is delightful news, if true.

I was added to a linkshell group, and they helped me level up and complete the support job quest. I haven't gotten to play for few days because my laptop quit working, and my old one won't load textures on character models.

We should get everyone playing to just play on Shiva.

Hey welcome to XI! Eventually you'll realize that it's the biggest, grandest, most content ridden Final Fantasy game you've ever played, and despite several attempts to quit you'll realize you'll be stuck draining its contents for years and years to come!

I'm Phinn on Shiva - Dawezy is an XI sage, used to do HNMs and shit back in the olden days. LocoColt (Argentos) is always down for a mission or adventure, and if you catch me on I'd be glad to help with anything you need! A good social linkshell support system that's willing to answer your questions and help you through quests/missions is all you need to succeed in this game - so I'm glad you found a good community! I usually only play with my handful of friends or solo these days, but hit me up if I pop on your /sea all Phinn!

Edit: fffuuuu I remember why I stopped posting here. So long, post count of 777 ; ;

That was YOUR account Phinn? damn dude been a while since you touched it, forgot it was you in all honesty ^^;

Same problem has my laptop running FFXI without character models, onry names. It' still playable but strange going around with only names and no models lol. Intel is aware of the issue but haven't taken much action;

Intel HD 4000 and FFXI

Temporary solution is to revert back to older display drivers.. 8.15.10.2761 ish.
