Dude, unless they're going to make it possible to kill mobs by yourself, or make gil less like a collapsed currency where it's 10,000 to the dollar, you are well shut of that game.

Stay out! FFXIV is right around the corner anyway. You're free! This is a devil place!!!!

Well... lol

Since I gave all my shit to my husband, it would be easy to recoup it. Plus, I fucking love Summoner... Alezander? ODIN? ZANTETSUKEN?!!

A SUMMONER WITH REFRESH!?
A WHITE MAGE WITH CONVERT?!!!?!?!
A FUCKING SCHOLAR WITH REFRESHGA AND HASTEGA OH GOD WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

I don't know. I feel like I must see how this pans out lol

Just sounds like a trainwreck to me, but if you enjoy it, more power to you.

And it very well could end up being a trainwreck lol

They're consolidating some of the servers and Bismarck is on the list to be merged. There's going to be an untold amount of drama to deal with at the start.

On the other hand, the ability to level to 99 (while still the same old grind) is opening up a lot more options for people who want to do certain events solo or with low numbers, eliminating the need for an "HNM" linkshell unless the new endgame content is something that really sparks someone's interest. I'm not really one of those people, though lol

Besides, even if I did reactivate my content IDs, I'd have to observe how it's going first, and by that time my availability to play and MMO might be limited... lol
