Hey Guys,
You may or may not remember me, but I'm Ratu; I stopped playing in the spring of 2010 when I graduated hs..but i do see a few familiar names! I somehow found my way to the website for the new expansion and FFXI came rushing back. So I decided to see what's changed since I left and it looks like its a whole lot. So I thought I'd say hi and see how y'all are doing! What's life like on Leviathan/in CR these days? Hope all is well.

Hey buddy :D

There are a lot of changes. Most importantly things are a lot easier to progress through and HNM camping is pretty much over with. Things are fun and although I miss camping some the new content has a lot of benefits to it.

Yeah! I heard HNM's and exp parties are dead, I literally can't fathom it. How's the community, did a lot of people leave for FFXIV? What do you think coming back would be like, would it take forever to get up to speed? Glad to hear things are going well :)

I came back and started a new chacter July 10th~ I've already got a pretty pimped THF with sky/sea finished. Also have RNG decently equipped. I'm partway through Empyrean THF weapon and Through first 2 stages of relic bow.

Its a breeze and we have a lot of helpful folks. Its more laid back now, but when peeps are on we try to get stuff done! You should come back. Me, Monkeyman, Celestiah, Cinon, Aelis, Jah, Dinka(Duji), Viserdes(college right now), Abu, Besbeset and other still in game….Ehud is on a temporary break.

There are lots of people no longer playing, but enough to keep it fun. Making gil is relatively simple even though some things went down drastically.

Falky!!! Good to see you dude!!! How've you been?!

In other news, whilst waiting for my hd/copy of windows xp to arrive I've been creepin around KI/ffxiah/allakazam etc. Most of the forums seem dead, but I also hear that RDM is dead/pretty useless. Is this true?!

I've seen 1 person use RDM since I've been back. I think it still has effectiveness. Kinda like subjob /NIN. There are times its useful, but /DNC beats it in everyday effectiveness for most melee jobs.

Ahhh gotcha, has SCH risen to take it's place in the support category? Out of BLM RDM BRD SAM and SMN which do you think I should take to 99 first?

I'd say BLM/SMN/BRD are your options. Due to Abyssea "triggering" BLM might be the most useful, but thinking ahead in Arch Dynamis Lord I'd say BRD or SMN.

SCH is powerful support as is SMN, with Embrava / Perfect Defense respectively. But, sometime in the near future they are planning to gimp it.

Hey Ratu!

How have things been?

I left a long time ago, but I still check in from time to time. :)

Hmm, I wonder if my character still exists? :P
