The following is a sample of what awaits adventurers in the next version update:

Treasures of Aht Urghan Missions
The final battle is about to begin, and the fate of the Empire is in your hands! Join forces with companions new and old to unlock the mysteries hidden in this final chapter of the epic Aht Urhgan missions!


Besieged
To oppose the overwhelming power of the level 8 beastmen forces, Al Zahbi's five Serpent Generals have spent the previous months honing their skills. In addition, the Empire will be putting into effect a decree which allows additional distribution of temporary items after a certain number of invaders have been defeated. Finally, if the beastmen forces are not defeated by the Empire, or capture the Astral Candesence, they will automatically retreat one Earth hour after their arrival in Al Zahbi.

Einherjar
In an effort to lower the difficulty level of Einherjar, the HP of all monsters in the Hazhalm Testing Grounds will be reduced in the upcoming version update.
We will make further adjustments should this challenging area continue to prove excessively difficult.

Assault Mission "Nyzul Isle Investigation"
Currently, the data for the highest floor you have investigated in Nyzul Isle will be deleted after defeating the monsters on Floor 100. Unlike with other floors, this removes the possibility of retrying the floor in an attempt to obtain the treasure you seek.
As of the next version update, the data will still be deleted after clearing Floor 100, but in exchange for the loss of data, the chance for obtaining the armor pieces will be increased to 100%.
While clearing to Floor 100 is no easy task, we are sure there are heroes out there that are up to the challenge!

The Chocobo Hot and Cold Game
Chocobo Abilities
Resting your chocobo for thirty six hours (Earth time) after playing the Chocobo Hot and Cold game will allow you to dig twice more, as well as increase your chances to "hit the jackpot" the next time you play the game.
Furthermore, chocobos of players who succeed at finding treasure in any area three times in a row will temporarily gain the "Treasure Finder" ability. Chocobos that already have "Treasure Finder" will have the effect of the ability temporarily doubled.

Chocobucks
A new reward will soon be available in the form of vouchers that can be exchanged for chocobucks, with the chocobuck reward varying with the difficulty of the area.
The vouchers will always be found inside the treasure chests in addition to the standard rewards.

Limit Break Quests
With the current level of advancement of the majority of the player base, it has become increasingly difficult to find fellow adventurers who have yet to complete the limit break quests. In an effort to alleviate the woes of newer players, the limit break quests from level 50 to level 60 will have their difficulty reduced in the following manner:

Level 50 "In Defiant Challenge"
Drop rates for the quest items will be improved.

Level 55 "Atop the Highest Mountains"
The relative strength of the quest monsters will be reduced so that a party of six level 51 characters will be able to defeat them.


Remember spending hours farming for papyrus and getting a big alliance for LB2? New players are gonna miss out on all that fun!

Sounds like SE thinks that since WoW is easy to level up in and gets tons of users, they think dumbing down their own game and making it easier will = more profit for them. FFXI getting watered down, fun stuff.

The other day I was seeking for a merit pt as rdm, I got an invite from a 73 monk and took it. Drg/pld syndrome makes me take the first inv I get. Anyway, he gets 2 more 73s and then asks us where to party. The leader asked us where to pt. Everyone "blahblah anything but mire nyahnyah" 73 monk suggests trolls. I do not want to fight trolls with lv73 dd, so I ask, sincerely, if anyone has a moonpass. A perfectly good question considering there was another rank 10 in the pt. The first response?

(Ninja) what staging point is that?


Fuck it.

I didn't really like the moon. I was disappointed cuz I thought there was actually a zone on the moon. (like ffiv or something) And then I found out its just a place in Ro'maeve you need a key item to get to. Taking the airship to the moon would be a little more exciting!

The beseiged can only last an hour rule makes sense. I mean 1k XP for an hours work is still kinda sucky. Sometimes when you do beseiged you start to wonder if it'll ever end!!

Lol I had the same feeling. My first time there I thought we were going to actually be on the moon with creators and shit and stars in the background. It ended up being just another shitty Ro'Maeve zone.

Yeah a few days ago we had all 3 level 8s, undead and mamool within an hour of each other and each took only 20 minutes or so, 1450 apiece. That of course was befoe the hour+ troll fight where I got to know Zurmurwur the Ruthless and still only got 1450. Like cail said though, the IS makes it count and for me it's merits I don't need to party with the dregs of the goddamn universe to get.

Speaking of partying with the dregs of the universe, cail what level is your drk? We need /omgstun for moon exp whirl of rage.
