They announced another version update slated for next month.  And yep, yet another level increase is on the way!  Along with more job adjustments, more Magian trials, and more Wings of the Goddess story.  I believe the next portion of Abyssea will be released as well.

Thought I'd throw this out there, even though next to nobody seems to care these days...

After dying twice trying to solo learn, I decided I'd give up and go back with help.  But it's hard to find help for Abyssea zones since a lot of people just flat out don't want to buy it.

But, if anyone wants to help me learn Acrid Stream and Blazing Bound, it would be appreciated.

The site experienced some technical difficulties for a week or two but everything seems to be back on track now.   Feel free to resume random banter!

Other note:  Lots of old faces showing up now that the level cap has been increased!

Well, in June, the level cap will increase from level 75 to level 80.  Which, of course, means there will be the need for a lot of people to level jobs.  Additionally, some people may need support job leveling from 37 to 40 (and eventually 49).

If you want help leveling subjobs, feel free to poke around the LS, you probably won't be the only person needing some work, and sync can help some of the others as well.

Also as a reminder, the Adventurer Appreciation is going on right now, Anniversary Rings and Dinner Jackets.  And Bonanza Marbles are now on sale, so grab those up if you feel like playing the odds!

(Because the front page desperately needs a new post...)

It's true, despite it all, Lucky is still alive and kicking.  In fact, there has been a slight resurgence of activity recently, mostly due to some of the announced changes to the games.  Despite FF14 Beta stuff going on and the recent release of FF13, don't think that FF11 is done just yet.

Haven't been on the game in a while?  Here's some of the things coming up!

• Probably the main one stirring up interest:  The future increase of the current level cap from 75 to 80 in June (tentative, of course) and then eventually to 99 in future updates.
• New avatars:  Odin and Alexander, scheduled for release this month.  Although they can only be accessed during Astral Flow, they pack some powerful abilities.  Perfect Defense for Alexander is a defensive aura, and Zantetsuken from Odin slices/damages opponents in range.
  
• Abyssea:  A new set of addons taking place in a parallel world from Vana'diel, offering a new style of powerful opponents and new items.

Been away from the game a while?  Perhaps you've missed some of the more recent changes:

• Level Sync:  No need to worry about keeping a party's level close.  Choose a target and everyone's level, stats, and gear sync down to the target.  Paladin in AF2 tanking for a Qufim crab party?  Sure!
• Fields of Valor:  Training regimes for exp boosts.  Choose a list of targets and defeat them.  Geared more for solo or lowman parties.
• Campaign:  The Crystal War rages on!  No longer confined to the normal areas, assaults on the Northlands now occur.
• Addons:  Three mini-expansions with some new battles and reward keys that can be exchanged for loot, including some truly unique looking equipment pieces for finishing.
• Augments:  Augments can add new traits to existing gear.  The most famous of these are the reward of the three Addons, but there are also the "Fey Weapons".
• Synergy and Evoliths:  Synergy is a unique type of group synthesis that can create new items, or etch slots into certain items to insert Evoliths, special stones rewarded from undertaking NM Hunts.
• Job Adjustments:  Rangers, Ninjas, Beastmasters, and several other jobs have all gotten tweaks lately.  And there's more to come!

Now that I've sufficiently bored you to death...

Hopefully if you've been away from the LS/game a while and stopped by, you'll drop us a line!
