No, "Layered zone" is the way they've consistently referred to their instancing system.

Here's an idea - release some open world *** content.
Create some new damn HNMs that drop +10 QA Swords, Movement speed +25% boots, Purple Hauberks with str+100 dex+100! A gold sword that has DMG taken -50%! A Body that has refresh +10! Make these NMs pop once every 24-36 hours. God forbid the community starts wandering through Vana'diel outside of *** Reisinjima, Mhaura and town.

Trademarking this ***. My creative juices are flowing!

I miss you Tanaka.. You were my barance.

Come on people, who doesn't miss the spectator aspects of FFXI? Who doesn't miss their server going into shout wars after a tiamat kill/wipe/steal?

They don't have an instancing system, not one that makes dynamic zones. One zone divided into multiple non-connected sections that player's are rotated through. Gives the appearance of instancing workout the server side platform requirement for dynamic zones.

Woo, Incursion!

I don't know why they brought back the Microcosmic Orb Campaign. Is anyone even going to do it after the findings from the first one?

It's funny, because they title it microcosmic, but listed all the macrocosmic battlefields.

First time I'll be around for a WKR/CP campaign.

Do people generally do nothing but spam WKRs during this time kinda similar to the VW campaign? I am guessing you can crank out an Ergon weapon's worth of HPB if you stick to it.

More like 1/4 or 1/3 if your really crazy. The real benefit is that the server will be flooded with peopled selling HPB and that drives the price down until the excess supply is exhausted.

Gotta choose, CP or Gilz!

This is why I frequently CP outside of campaigns, less pressure to CP during that small window when the entire server is CPing.

Not to mention farming HBP through Ambuscade spamming Vol.1 D-VD is more efficient for time invested.

Erm, is anyone anticipating there being a Spring Alter Ego Extravaganza? Have I missed some news that they intended to stop those quarterly events?
I guess they bumped it due to Egg Hunt/Feast of Swords clash?

Aye, I should have said "bumped it to May 1st." But i did miss the earlier update from the Couerl RP due to the "discussion".

Interesting post that, though. I only recently returned and was curious about the what sort of resubs the campaigns prompted. Based on that post I'm going with a significant number.

Probably not... but if the typo here was it was supposed to be macrocosmic instead of micro instead of them just putting the wrong fights down that could keep hope alive

Announcing the May Version Update



The next version update is scheduled for Wednesday, May 10.

Quote:
Well met, adventurers!
Matsui here with your May version update information.

May is the time of year when we celebrate Vana’diel’s creation, and this year FINAL FANTASY XI turns 15! We have prepared a little something more than what you’ve come to expect of version updates in thanks for all of your support of and dedication to FINAL FANTASY XI over its storied history.

But this doesn’t mean that we’ve neglected the meat of the version update, so let me give you a quick rundown of what will be hitting the servers in a few short days.

First, we’ve added another step in the popular Escutcheon questline, and things are really starting to heat up. The orders might be getting a little difficult, but the planner in charge would like to give a huge /grin of support to those looking forward to the continuation of the quest.

Additionally, we’re adding the fourth Ark Angel alter ego—AATT—to the game. The planner in charge has shared with me that AATT’s sleepy look might give you a bit of an indication as to what he can do, so complete the quest, call him forth, and experience the wonder for yourself!

You’re also in for a “whale” of a good time with the Pteraketos battle being added to Ambuscade this month!

Finally, we’re making various job adjustments and adding new synthesizable equipment to help keep things fresh.

Below is the usual table of items we’re planning to add in the next version update. As always, last minute issues may arise preventing us from implementing all of them, but we’re hoping for smooth sailing in May!
