Accountablity

Malchietz

Anyone that is on FFXI i ask that you give an assessment of your sever's status based upon your personal opinon. I would like to know the overall status of the game as a whole. The economy, how crowded, exping, is getting into a craft super expensive or decent. Getting into parties, what classes are needed and which are overely populated, Crystal stack costs, and of course which nationality Reigns supreme on your server.

Hrmm I wish i could offer the equation for a healthy ecomony but, lets just say in reference to those of the woodworking, fishing, cooking and blacksmithing crafts. is the crafting profitable if one buys most of his ((or her)) components off the AH- and are these profits enough to keep a player rolling without having to craft for DAYS at a time trying to purchase a single piece of equipment to continue leveling to the next set of nessicities in that class. ((wither it be a combination of armor and weapons or armor and spells.)) thanks in advance.

Can't speak for all of them as of yet (new to this server), but I'll answer what I can:

Carbuncle:

Economy; lower level things are slightly off (about 50gil more than you can buy at a store), but not completely screwed up.

How crowded; seems to have slightly under the equilibrium population (enough people to have it interesting, but not too much to be crowded). Sometimes it's slow to find a party due to population, but it's not too bad. Hunting spaces aren't camped to extinction. Again, it's just slightly under the population you want.

EXPing; good, finding a group is rarely difficult.

Getting into parties; sometimes its difficult to find that last remaing person for your group, or sometimes it's hard to find a group missing someone, but it's generally decent.

Classes are needed/Classes over-populated; WHM's and WAR's are definately needed, they seem to be what everyone misses in groups (however, there's many more WHM's than the last server I played [Pandamonium].). It seems we could use some more NIN and BRDs, but nothing drastic.

Crystal stack costs; fire--4.5k. earth--3.5k. wind--4.5k. dark--4.5k. [Would have to check on water and lightning, sorry.]

Nationality reign; I'd have to say it's San d'Oria, though I'm not quite sure. Haven't gotten out into the world yet.

For anything I didn't post, I can't really say at the moment with how much I've played.

Things are pretty good on Remora. The economy is moderately crowded, but not too much so. A big profit margin in gardening tarutaru rice closed up when somebody started mass manufacturing it, but you can still definitely make a profit gardening. I'm still in the low levels of Smtihing, Goldsmithing and Alchemy and have not found any of them impossibly expensive to level; a lot of the synths I've been doing are around break-even. I hear this may change at the mid-levels though, especially for Goldsmithing. Smithing--last time I looked, you could actually make a profit on bronze ingots, and a small loss on iron ones. However, it's been a while since I looked and fire crystals have gone up since then. I have had no troubles getting into parties as a RDM up to level 25 (which is as far as I've gotten), BLM and WHM up to 14, and even WAR at 12 has gotten Valkurm Dunes parties. Classes overcrowded/needed...hmmm. I'm not really sure, to be honest. WHM is, as ever, in relatively short supply. Crystal prices: Fire: 7000, Wind: 4000, Water: 2000, Earth 1000-1500, Ice: 3000, Dark: 3000-4000, Lightning: 3000, Light: 6000-7000. Fight for top nationality is between Bastok and Windurst, with Windurst having the upper hand, but Bastok getting its share (Bastok is first this week, in fact--with Windurst third, which is *very* rare). San d'Oria is shut out, getting first very, very rarely, although they get second fairly often.
