Actually, myself, and my LS are back and kicking. I must say I'm pleased to see all the stuff they gave Red Mage, during my several months hiatus, but slightly peeved that now the gilsellers get away with /tell-ing me advertisements! I've never used my blacklist in the 5+ years I've played XI and now suddenly it's filling up. Nevertheless, the game is now a lot more solo/small party friendly, and I like this, despite the fact that level sync has really bred some majorly lazy/bad players, but those will exist, no matter what the system. It's good to be back in Vana'Diel, good to see a bunch of my old friends are still here, good that the game economy is still somewhat stable, and good that I still know what I'm doing O.O
