VanaFest 2010 - Celebrating 8 Years of FINAL FANTASY XI -

Level 99?

Level 99?!

LEVEL 99?!?!?!

Yep, they're breaking the game, huh?

***Del Murder*** · 02-28-2010, 06:20 PM

Yeah I saw that. Can't really get my head around it. I have to think there will be several restrictions or level 99 will not be different from 75 like 51 is different from 75.

Or maybe they're just trying to get everyone to be sick of this game so we all move to XIV.

There's also a lot of other cool stuff that came out of Vanafest. Here's a link to the Twitter which lists more things than you can find on the main page:

Some cool things include:

-Job adjustments for just about every job
-New Avatars for SMN (Alexander and Odin, but they can only be used with Astral Flow)
-The worlds are going to be consolidated from 32 to 24 (I hope Pandy and Midgard get merged!)
-New add ons called 'Abyssea' which looks like a bunch of BCNMs where you can obtain the new 'AF3' equipment
-BLMs will be able to learn....METEOR

Midgard got merged with Quetzalcoatl and Pandemonium is being merged with Asura.

Funny though that Eleni's original server was Asura.

*goes to register a character named Ouch on Quetzalcoatl*

We were keeping up with the Twitter feed last night during Vanafest and going, "WTF?!" as they announced all these crazy things.

We thought it might've been a joke. :o It's nuts and it changes the whole game, unless they've thought of specific restrictions to make it so that everything doesn't become super unbalanced. Who knows. But I kinda like how they're going balls to the walls with this. It's like they just threw up their hands and said smurf it, let's go crazy.

I loved this tweet:

Followed by this one:

Knowing them it will probably take twice as much exp to go from 75-99 as it does to go from 1-75.

**Rostum** · 02-28-2010, 08:28 PM

Was watching the live feed, listening to Limit Breka Radio / Pet Food Alpha, and looking at the Twitter feed. Was a good event with some crazy stuff happening!

I don't necessarily think level 99 will "break" the game, just change it. Depends on how they impliment it. But it could allow for some insane new high level content!

Oh yeah, and I won rank 5!

***Del Murder*** · 02-28-2010, 08:38 PM

Any word on what rank 5 is? I would have got it if I used the alternate number I use. Oh well.

Yeah I think this is exciting and I don't think it makes the game worse because people who loved the way it was had that for many years. Why not go balls out in the final year(s) of the game?
