Another FFXI Private Server.

Id agree Eden is the most accurate, and in all the servers ive played, the one Ive enjoyed the most. I spent years there too but when Horizon came along it became a ghost town almost over night. Unfortunately, much like horizon, I personally dont have the time anymore to sink hours into LFP+partying for just a few levels. But if someone was looking for the most authentic 75 era server, id always point them at Eden over Horizon.

If you can't make a mythic then the content isn't functional. Period.

Mythics weren’t even announced until after the first content update let alone added until the third content update for Wings of the Goddess. Bit odd to say that ToAU isn’t functional until they existed, unless you have some other underlying disdain towards the expansion.

Yes, the expansion launched with just a few ranks of assaults, besieged, and a bunch of exploration. Since we already know all the areas, the exploration is no longer novel (sane people would say the same of assaults tbh).

However, I don't think you can fairly say 'almost equal to launch state of expansion' is anything comparable to finishing the expansion. ToAU was loved because it had so much content added. If you don't have working assaults, nyzul, einherjar, salvage, znm, mythics.. you don't have ToAU. You could walk into the zones and fight exp mobs on DSP 12 years ago.

Yeah I’m not disputing what ToAU had at launch. I know what ToAU launched with, I remember it very vividly as a kid because of the sheer excitement I had coming home from school all the time to explore and do Besieged and whatnot.

I was saying mythics themselves weren’t a thing until most of a year into post-Wings release. I think ToAU was great without the long hunt for a weapon most people only dreamed of having due to the sheer then-mountainous effort to get one - generally involving dozens of helping hands. Of course, me as young as I was had below zero interest in ever getting something like that let alone being a part of any endgame linkshell at the time. The inclusion of lower-man contents like ZNMs, Salvage and Nyzul created an easier entry into content I considered at the time to be difficult (cause a large number of us sucked back then) and super captivating, even if repetitive

Most of the content you listed are not only serviceable but just about in a complete state across the board, save for the few things I listed in my prior post. It’s on approach for the final, remaining pieces after all these long years. Still, that said, the amount of time and effort reverse engineering everything has taken has drastically ripped the nostalgic luster out of me and I’m sure many other people.

Getting real mixed messages here. Not entirely clear if it's done or not.

I guess we can look at their website and check the post from 8 months ago..


Typos aside...ummm..they did multiple tiers of assaults? Not sure if that's all of them but ok. Working on limbus, salvage...missions...idk what "almost complete quest logs" means.

Idk. Really tough to say what's in a finished state or not. I guess all of it except besieged?

I don't think it was Eden that I was thinking of. The one Spicy got ran out of...Catseye maybe? I heard it had a huge chunk of Whitegate up and running. Everything except assaults and salvage. Which...Besieged and Salvage will probably never be functional.

Unless Eden goes open source (like they claimed they would almost two full years ago on the dot, it seems like that’s either not happening anymore or the efforts the Eden devs underwent may also have combined into LSB/ASB at some point? Unclear) sooner than later, I doubt any other server will have Salvage for years otherwise. That was KnowOnes project he worked on for ages.

Besieged, as much as I don’t want to admit it, may be first seen on Horizon some considerable time after 2032 when ToAU finally arrives (kek)

The only reason this stuff will never be functional is because the people working on it are not professionals and don't have real time to dedicate to it.

It only takes one active contributor that has some idea what they're doing to power through adding these things in a relatively short time. But, nobody actually has these active contributors. Most of them make a couple token 10 minute tweaks every so often and pretend their server is advancing.

So, it could change overnight for any of these servers if they managed to get even one person that's both competent and has free time onboard. But, it probably won't.

Looking back Besieged was a pretty pointless event. It dropped XP, IS, and...? Nothing that I can remember being valuable. It took a long time to happen, and if a General or NPC got captured your mission progress would stop. I think it also gave Xbox users a hard time. Is it even up and running on retail anymore or did they just disable it permanently?

Besieged is getting updated to i119, now at i109.

This sounds like another conspiracy theory, lets debunk it.

1-runic portal


The primary means of transportation is nothing of value???

2-Sanction


What in the *** do you mean nothing of value???

As one of those xbox users, anything that was a heavy load for longer than an hr put the console at risk, even things like dynamis could cause that silly thing to freeze if you were in there long enough, beseiged or long campaigns were basically take part for 30~45 mins then go hole up in a corner and hope you didnt crash, good times

I think i even froze once when i was doing colibiri parties when it was packed, i often wonder if the PS2 handled itself better or if it froze up just as much

I remember that now, increased food duration so your morsel would be snatched in 1 minute instead of the first 30 seconds.

Well, it's a good thing you can make a mythic then.

Actually research the ***you're bad mouthing before doing so.

All you have to do is cyber with the admins

So not functional, got it.


It's busted *** ghetto ***that hasn't improved since...

apparently 12 years ago. It's pathetic and not worth the time.

When they bother to actually make a working ToAU then it'd be worthwhile to look at. Until then it's a complete waste of time. Then again some people are functional retards and actually like HNM camping, so...

If you can't do the content to do it then you can't. I didn't "bad mouth it" I asked a question. Your response is quite telling.

It was worthless then and is worthless now. It would RROD an OG xbox for sure though. Can't remember if it would run decently on the later models, but I suspect not.

Excellent solo Assault guide here:

Honestly I dreaded that specific assault. I failed it so many times. Main thing was having safe spots pointed out, made the whole thing so much easier.
