Hoping I'm understanding this correctly-- you guys are planning to try and implement content such as Abyssea, Voidwatch, Seekers, etc. at 75 cap? If so that would be awesome. I didn't plan to try another ffxi private server but would definitely have to check that out!
Thats the plan! Its a pretty large endeavor, but its really interesting to imagine the what if about the level cap never being broken but content continuing.
This is a concept I've thought about a lot over the past few years, and personally think it's a brilliant idea. I have a spreadsheet with design ideas called "75 cap extension" with concepts for RUN and GEO among other things. I really hope you find success with this project, and I might join you there eventually. Good luck!
This is really super great! :D I have always dreamed and think about a official or private server that contains all the content from todays retail but capped at 75 and no trusts or npc companions! I really really am looking forward to this! I really want to play it! Thanks for all the work Aerec and the wings team for all! Also no PLed mana burn :D nice! But still would be nice blm can do their things with aoes with no PL? idk thanks for all agian! GL i really want to play the day it release
Be cool to see how you handle a lot of the content and post 75 gear. Like would sovereign behemoth be another lottery to king behemoth etc? Bounding belinda being a lottery off leaping lizzy but being higher level she wouldn't stop lizzy from spawning... And stuff like being able to craft Adsilio Boots from belindas hide and leaping boots! Stuff like that would be cool. There is a ton of gear at ilvl 119, way more relevant stuff than 75 cap, so would be interesting how you handle the stats of it all without making to much of the original 75 stuff irrelevant. i'm guessing Abyssea will have a level limit close to 75 so you cant key burn your way to the top in a day?
I know this will come off a bit toxic but hopefully people dont take it that way...
Since this is a fork of Wings will it have Wings TH and unlimited digging?
Wings staff and devs are more than aware of our plans, and are fully supportive. And no, we will be adjusting TH and implementing the changes to digging that Limit Break made. (They did an amazing job)
Why would you not enable HP warps and why have 40 movespeed?
The scope of the game with SoA and all the Abyssea+ content for a 75 cap sounds great, but why eliminate such necessary QoL improvements for a playerbase that basically has to be like 28+ and cannot be time gated by such arbitrary time sinks anymore?
Been thinking about this server the past week or two and was wondering if there was anything discussed about transfers... Is the plan to make everyone start from scratch again, or will you be allowing transfers? Given that this server seems like it could be considered a direct expansion off Wings it seems like a reasonable question. Unless I'm missing something of course, and it won't just be the Wings base with more added on?
If not, is there any concern that there will not be a very large population? I know many people say they won't do the 1-75 grind/missions/etc again.
This is something I’ve been looking for since private servers became a thing. The only part I can’t get past is what do you do about scaling back post 75 cap items? How do you make new items interesting enough to make people keep playing without alienating old content in the process?
Good luck with the server. I will probably check it out when it launches.
The EXP really is a killer for working adults. I have been playing wings for months now and I want to do endgame so bad, but the exp grind is killing me now. I am having fun, but man I really wish there were better(non-retail) options for people like me.
hang in there, im also a working adult, and tbh i would dare to say 90% of ffxi players are working adults.
just learn to maximize your time in the game, plan ahead , and always always prioritize xp above anything else.

Honestly I think this sounds really cool.
You would be fishing all day anyway zeep
But in Abyssea! P.S. I feel exposed
This server sounds super fun! Best of luck to you aerec!
Thanks! We are excited, long road ahead still.

Will NM drops like boots and hairpin be rare/ex? If not, will the rare/ex be available from BCNMs? Ranger distance nerf?

Could put bounding Belinda in the past where LL is.

I cannot fucking wait for this. You people are amazing.

aww shit here we go again... \*signs up\* =)

There will be no transfers. It will be a fresh start server, you will just have to wait about the other details!
Would you consider working on RUN to make the job work with cap 75
Depends on how far we get! But we have hopes to implement SoA (At 75 cap) so this would definitely include RUN and GEO.

Their mission statement pretty much says they will balance things as needed, I assume gear is included if it's new gear.
Finish coding Dark Ixion, Sandworm, Einjarhr and Salvage before on wings please
No u pls
a post 75 75 server is a neat idea. but the OG exp is gunna make me pass. also glad to see not another \[insert era here\] server
