FFXI World Change until Nov. 29

You can now apply for emigration to another server until Nov. 29. There is an NPC in each major city that will do this for you.

I'm currently on Pandemonium but would move to the GWJ server depending on how hardcore you guys are. I would love to group with you guys and take part in voice chat while playing.

Were pretty damn hardcore! So if you plan on joining us you had best prepare to be Xtreme to the Max!

Nah I think I am the most hardcore of our group and my top level job is 17 warrior. But please join us on Fenrir, the more the merrier.

This is cool, nice idea on their part.

I don''t know if this is exactly what you think it is though. Looks like they are just migrating people to some new servers they are bringing up.

3 new Worlds are scheduled to be created. In the event that applicants are divided among multiple Worlds, all applicants from a single World will be moved into the same new World.

-In the event that the number of players who wish to emigrate to the new World does not fill up one whole World, the World shift will be postponed.

So I guess the question here is would we all want to move to one of the new servers? It seems that since we would all be emigrating from the the same server we would end up on the same new server. However there is no guarantee that anyone else on a different server who wanted to join us would be sent to the same new server.

As I see it if we moved to a new server there would most likely be more english speaking players. Of course I have had no problem with this as of yet, and have actually enjoyed having a few japanese players in my groups and using the translator to communicate with them. Not to mention the fact that it might motivate me to learn some Japanese which would be helpful since I work for a Japanese company . One definate upside is there is a chance more people from the site could join us. The world would most likely start anew, which could be really annoying as far as the auction house is concerned.

So anyway before I ramble anymore I say we take a vote. If you want to emigrate say so, if not say not.

Personally I see little reason to switch. The player economy is stable on out current server, which means we can get what we need as we level equipment-wise. Also, a new server means a bunch of new, low-level players competing in areas which already feel like Mall of Dungeon sometimes- at least the Japanese players aren''t all on the bat hunt.

I vote stay with the current server.

I second Roy''s vote.

I lean toward staying as well, but that''s mostly because i''m lazy.

I quit my job to play Final Fantasy xi, is that hardcore enough for you?

Also, I would love to voice chat. I have a 50 dollar headset and no one to talk too Plus its hard for me to type with my vibrating gamepad in my lap.

I guess im down for voicechat if someone wants to host it. Although the though of acutally hearing what you all sound like does scare me quite a bit.
