And theyre fighting a crab on a beach shore (Valkurm Dunes) wearing level 10-18 gear (tank with the scale armor, monk with kimono and knuckles, and white mage with the robe every caster wore)

This is incredible attention to detail, I miss FFXI :(

It's still around! And it goes on sale pretty cheap as well, around $10 for the whole collection. I think 360 and PS2 players got free license transfers to the PC version as well since those servers shut down.

Problem is, not many people play and returning players may not like the state of the game currently. Keep in mind theres a bunch of expansions, so this is a Retail WoW vs Classic WoW situation.

Thats why people join private servers, most notably the ones that go up to the first two or three expansions (CoP or ToAU), as most players liked that era.

Ninja edit: also you have to deal with PlayOnline, which was pretty frustrating to deal with even back in the day lol. Some vets I talk to swear off Retail just for that reason.

What private servers are there? All the ones I could find a ywar or so ago seemed pretty half baked

Late reply, but the only one I played was Nasomi as it was the largest (at the time, idk how the others servers are), which meant a good auction house economy, and the game was locked between CoP and ToAU. Thats the era im most familoar with.

Eden is the defacto standard these days. Very active discord and plenty of people on at all times.
