This is not my nostalgia. FFXI is about building comradery by suffering together.
Nothing was more difficult as a WHM than trying to get to a new leveling camp with multiple people I needed to keep the spells up on. No other MMO has inspired the shear terror of frantically trying to find s safe spot to refresh as the timers ticked down.
That's funny because my experience is that most people who don't grow up with sneak/invisi get a preternatural skill for avoiding aggro
I was 18 and a WHM main, avoiding aggro was not my strong suit as I leveled.
See I don't have nostalgia over XI like most people do, the only other time I ever played it was around 08-09ish on a free trial and I didn't like it. So the experience for me is almost fresh today.
