[NotGreyheim]

Welcome back.

Check out the new player guide I linked in the OP if you need help with general game config or especially stuff like addons and plugins.

Glad to see a new Winfirstian. Best nation

Thanks! I haven't figured out how to get the add-ons or plugins working yet, but the guide helped me fix it so that the graphics aren't from 2004 anymore, lol. Also had to stay true to OG Grey, who was a Windurstian native!

[Mikesjusticee]

Sounds like a great server to dominate the crafting market all over again. Hahaha.

Hello everyone. How is everyone nearly 20 years later in life?

[Starby]

Maintenance Monday at 9am est. Will last approximately 2 hours

[Starby]

Salvage is live! I'll post the full patch notes later when I'm not on mobile, or you can check them out now on our discord

Good idea to help people out. I'd say add in a couple stacks of food for the new players too.

[Starby]

Tempered linkshell is up to 70 unique new players, as well as veterans.

We had our first new people hit 75 recently. It's been really fun to watch the group grow. Everyone has blown me away with how cooperative they've been.

■ Campfires in outside areas now have specific monsters that will always stay close to it.
■ Upon initial aggro, monsters will now also be aggressive towards any other detectable party and alliance members. (this is the often misinterpreted "darter hate" as it applies to all mobs.)
■ The calculation of spikes damage from equipment has been reworked.
■ Ranged attack messages for Aerns if they did zero damage has been fixed.

Horizon had a certain stink to it from the day I had a friend link it to me all hyped up about it (about 5 months before it went live I think) and it's been both sad and vindicating to see that my suspicions were accurate.

Whats the deal with horizonxi? I was thinking of playing xi again, and thought that was the most populated place? are they crooked or whats up?

They marketed and behaved like they were an era server, just like we remember it from the old days, but in truth it isn't anything like that.

They actively make unpopular balance changes based on little evidence and just their biases and feelings from when they originally played back in the day. They had a great idea to start with, but overtime they continuously made odd decisions that don't make a lot of people feel confident they should spend an "ffxi level of time commitment" on the server. It's hard to to commit to the server when the devs frequently prove they have a slanted view of balance in the game.

I was ready to be all in on this server when it first started, but after a week or two I saw all the red flags and bounced out. I made the right decision based on occasional comments and drama I hear coming out from their community.

I read through their thread a little yesterday and saw something about they made kings pop in "random" zones. I mean, if you're a dev you're gonna know what zone its going to pop in. I'm sure they probably claim it's random for them as well, but I just wouldn't believe that. At all.
Not to mention reading about RDM and NIN nerfs which I'm betting are the unpopular balance changes you mentioned.
Guess I won't be scratching the xi itch on horizon

[Salodin]

Mhmm, I feel the same way
