I don't get it. Instead of saying "we are adding fields of valor to the game" they should just say "we are adding more quests to the game"
Cause thats all it seems like this is.

They're adding quests where you go out and kill 20 or so of a certain mob, you turn the quest in, you get bonus exp for completing the quest, and bonus gil. And every hour you can do it again.
Y'know, 90% of what WoW's quests are? <.<

Unfortunately, I'm dying to come back now... even if this stuff doesn't make it much easier, god dammit I fucking miss TARUS! and cute kitties... and pretty outfits. I made the mistake of looking at my old screenshots, so many good times. And, I shall share them with you! s140.photobucket.com/albums/r29/yhamuna/ffxi_shots/ Don't forget to check out the old shots folder too, that has old pics from both me and Yue. Did I mention I miss Yue?

And EverQuest, and Dark Age of Camleot and Ultima even. These types of quests are not exclusive to WoW. Well atleast they are doing SOMETHING with the game's quests. Even if it is as redundant as the other games in the genre. Beats not having quests at all like before. XD EDIT>> Wow, Kehlus. What happened to him anyways?

After his father died he started to disappear until he vanished entirely. I dunno.
And THAT pic is why I made Yue. Yes, it's all Kikaro's fault.

What can I say? I am attracted to short races. Though it doesn't explain why my new main in WoW is a Tauren.
Kehlus last i heard was getting married. But I have not talked to him in such a long time. We pretty much drifted apart after we stopped living together. Im not sure what has happened to him.
As for FFXI. There were a lot of things I really liked about that game, but so many that I hated. I would not be able to return to the game regardless. that game is not noob friendly, and I am addicted to WoW>

I gave Steph the passwords for Yhamuna, and Dejibo on FFXI. She is going to be wandering around checking out all the new stuff that has happened since she left. Yha is now rank 10. lives in Aht Urghan. has added much to her armor, and I did all those niddly lil jobs that steph hates. all cities have warp to aht urghan now, and so forth. Desarei now lives in Sandy Abacia now lives in Bastok Kyupippi still lives in Windy. All have aht urghan access through the warp dude in the towns, all have mog lockers, all have sub jobs, all have their own chocobos, all are expert gardeners. No gardens are currently active as I have company at my house, and didnt have time to keep after them. I will restart gardens after christmas. Dejibo now has a solid foundation. all advanced jobs unlocked. blue chocobo who is above average in all stats, and learned ALL stories read to him. She has been my main focus. I have worked hard on her. she doesnt garden. Osiyo, and Moonie are garden mules only. NO level on any job, and I will probably kill off at least one, if not both of them. Both are quite skilled at pulling in some gil. Walking wounded has been my LS of choice. Almandine is pretty much dead after some funny stuff that went on, and most who were there moved to Walking Wounded. VERY helpful folks. Yha got rank 10 because of them. I have left a post at their webiste that yha is going to be steph for a bit while she looks around at the place. All are excited, and want you to simply speak up if you want to try to level sync or whatever. they are happy to help. Have fun!

I'll install the game files tonight, I can't say I'll be able to login as Yha tonight, but we'll see. I'll say hi to your friends too, Unagi and a few others were always nice to me.
I'm not saying for sure that I'm coming back. However, I wanna check out some of these new features in the game, so I can see for myself how things would work out.

I wonder if I could even come back. I hear Kariene is walking around on her own now XD
Even so, I don't think I can get back into a MMO. Just don't have the commitment to anything like that any more. Friends are trying to make me play Maple Story, but at the rate they play, I'm just using it as another chat protocol. At least it's free <_<
Plus I already know I was a hate-mongering asshole. I don't need to go back to reclaim that title... Well, if only to annoy Caller.

Well, seeing as everyone is talking about coming back... I'll let you know that I have been playing on and off for about a month now. With the new things in my life, I can only play from Monday - Thursday, but I'm just plugging away. I've been doing little things like making money and missions, plus camping NM's. I had a spurt of camping the Eastern Shadow for my RNG and got myself a Vali's bow. (Which absolutely fucking rocks, btw.) Only took my 5 claims too. >.> Other than that I've just been levelling RNG a little. Got into an arrow burn last night and make like 30k EXP in an hour and a half... which is encouraging. For those of you that want to know... Level Sync is good, but not without drawbacks. Synced equipment flat out SUCKS. If you're lucky (and it depends entirely on what pieces you have...) it will be the equal to the NQ of the level you're synced to. Now, if you're only syncing down a couple of levels this is usually alright. But for major syncing it's a royal pain in the arse. And from what I can tell, most people will just equip stuff close to the synced level if they can. >.> If you're syncing to a level where you can wear the equipment normally though, the stats are full. E.g. if you're level 60 and sync to 40, your Sniper's Ring will still have +5 Acc. But at 39, chances are it won't have any + Acc at all. Not only that but you don't get any skill ups when synced down either. For example: My 65 RNG had capped Archery, but when I sync in a party to 55 for Lesser Colibri, I would get no skill ups. Now that I'm 67 I find that my Archery is out dated by two levels... Even when syncing down a couple of levels to like 62/3, I still won't get any skill ups. So that's a royal pain. But it does making getting parties faster. It's just that no one wants to level on anything other than Colibri nowadays. I'm having fun with the game but I'm doing it all LS - less. It's okay though, I've been accepted into one and pending another which is semi end game... Not that I really want to do it but they seem to like me. Give us a /tell if you see me on.

I have little intention of actually coming back until I see how the next update goes, and I'm not looking forward to paying $18 a month again, and I hate hate hate hate hate farming and camping mobs.
But I know my characters have been deleted, so I need to wait for a Return campaign (though I was told I may not have to) before I can do anything. I found a character recovery program but that's only if you, yourself deleted them. And I did not. The server did.
But if this new Fields of Valor doesn't give decent exp and gil, that takes major notches down on my prospects of coming back. I do. not. want. to. farm.
