So Hydra is a server that was ended? Why did they stop it?

I was never on FFXI when everyone was noobs, SE need to do something to take away that systematic sense the game now has (level to 10, party in the dunes, then qufim, then yuhtunga, etc). I dunno how they could do that, but they could think of SOMETHING...


Anyways! My highest point would be getting my Blue Mage AF1, the first proper accomplishment I'd done all on my own... Ninjaring past the imps in arrapago reef, that just made me shiver with happiness. I admit the sword isn't that great, but it made me happy nonetheless.

Lots of bad things, not being able to get into a party, or just getting into a crap party where you loose more exp than you gain... Or spending ages getting somewhere, die the moment you arrive, then go all the way back to square one. THAT pisses me off...
