Next Version Update--March?

(Z_z)
The next FINAL FANTASY XI version update is scheduled to take place in early March. We are currently planning to introduce brand new quests and areas to supplement the Wings of the Goddess expansion pack. Adjustments and tweaks will also be made to a host of elements such as Campaign battles and other battle related items.

MARCH?!? So... there's another month of no missions and no rank-ups in campaign? :arg:
 
all i can say is i hope it's one hell of an update.. because SE's got a lot to make up for. I'm not one to say I wasted $30 on expansion but I am one to say I should've just waited on it...
 
Fucking SE... what the HELL could they be doing for them to take so long to release shit... christ
 
It does seem like a bit too long of a wait, but I'm glad they finally announced the timeframe for the update.

I disagree that the expansion might have been a waste to get when it came out. The missions may have been a lot lighter than expected, and that's not totally made up by the new jobs. However, Campaign is a huge change to gameplay. It's now trivial to go do something useful if you're on for just a half hour, have an event coming up, or otherwise just have some free time. No more waiting to gather a full party and then feeling that you have to spend 2 hours exping; you can quickly jump to the past and start getting some ok exp. You can leave whenever you need without having to worry about replacements or giving short notice.

The rest may have been a bit wanting, but Campaign was a great addition that lets you spend however much time you want, when you want it. Now they just need to add lots of good missions and some new NMs/items in the update to really make the expansion shine. Oh yeah, and finally make those job changes they've been going on about for ages. :tounge-1:
 
I really love campaign--which irks me more about not being able to rank up. The only thing that bothers me so far is how they're going to tie the storyline together (yes, I'm one of those people who play for the content too). In the game "present time", the crystal war was horrid and basically brought the world to the brink of destruction.

Ehh... but in the current "shadowreign" (realm still sounds cooler) time, the beastmen are lucky to control 1 zone a week--and that's usually Eldieme, Garliage, or Crawlers simply because those zones suck to go defend. I have a feeling though, that the story line is somehow going to change and the crystal war won't be the major part of it--just something that happens to run parallel to the war or worsened by the battles.

Then again, as Redd said the other night, the update could also totally ruin how Campaign currently works since people actually enjoy it.
