Fun but impossible since no one does it anymore because abyssea made party leveling obsolete. So is abyssea a fun alternative?

The game has changed a lot from 75 cap.
Old FFXI used to be about 90% of the game leveling 10% end game. New FFXI is 10% levling, 90% end game. You can get your char to level cap in a day, and after a couple more days you can cap all your skills on it. However, the way the game evolved is that you can do a bunch of events with a small group of people. It really gets you to the end game so you can work at some gear. It gives you a similar sense of accomplishment as exp parties when you get a shiny new piece of gear, but you just have to be motivated to get stuff rather than how you were forced to seek and hope for invite from 1-75. You can lowman Sky, sea, dyna, limbus, assualts and all the older content now. Hunting abyssea armor is able to be done in a group of 3-4 also, so you can have really respectable gear too. There are still alliance events out there, but the vast majority of the game can be tackled in a party now. FFXI has changed a lot but if you're open minded about changes, and you can find a handful of friends to play with, you can still find it enjoyable. please take a few moments to read a few of the four hundred and seventy five other threads on this topic...
thank you Quetzalcoatl.Nolan said: » So is abyssea a fun alternative? On your first 1 or 2 level 75 jobs yes,anything lower or after is kinda a chore. Except learning new JA's and WS's for your favourite jobs Abyssea takes the chore out of leveling... let's you do more of what you want to do...
