Hey is this still a thing? I'm not currently playing because honestly I got bored after reaching the max on my main toon when the limit was the first 3 delve bosses in seekers. What your doing now sounds like it could be a blast. Would I be able to join if I created a character even though I haven't played since seekers?
I played alot of Corsair and bard

I just moved over from Fenrir. Been playing again about 3 months and not got much interest in "end game" these days. Love to do some level 75 cap stuff; re-live the glory days!

Still here and going Strong! Friday we did some Bomb Queen and King Behemoth. Saturday ENM Totentanz and KS99. Looking forward to finishing some KS99 next week and then doing Fafnirs, Ouryu and Possibly Bahamut, along with ENM Totentanz again.

Having played since the game came out .. this is so enticing but alas I'm not sure what the allure would be. Probably obtained and dropped and then obtained and then dropped and obtained all the 75 top gear.
The thing I miss the most is the xp pt's. Hugely miss. Sky was fun and hnmls stuff. Dyna ls.. but xp pt's was the weekend fun. I'd be a sad panda on my mnk w/o black belt. I tossed it along with stuff that would make me cry to discuss when I went to ffxiv.

Don't know if it'd be of interest, but I am currently doing assault clears with a friend. No use for the ??? boxes, if your LS would like them as we get them.

I actually sat in a meripo at bhaflau stagepoint today for an hour on a new char, I can tell you the feeling doesn't change. Had a lot of fun lvling and meriting back in the day, along with all the endgame and hnms. I can tell you just dabbling in it with this ls here and there, gearing out old jobs on a fresh mule, doing old missions at 75 cap, brings back a lot of good feelings and memories, albeit somewhat bitter/sweet, but worth imo.

Girlfriend and I had tons of fun doing the missions all over again at 75, even did some that weren't meant for 75. We're on the last mission for WoTG right now.

You have no idea how happy I am right now.
I played from 2005~2013. Nostalgia recently dragged me back to the game, but I'm completely lost in today's Vana'diel. I really miss the old days so I think LevelDown just might be the place I'm looking for. Somewhere I can get my dose of fun and nostalgia at the same time.
Still have a lot of my old level 30,40, and 75 cap gear. Kept it to dress up my mannequins lol
I'll keep an eye out for someone with pearls this weekend. It'll take me a little while to get my jobs fully re-adjusted back to 75 (could always level my mule too I guess), but I'd really appreciate the opportunity to give this a try.

Forgive me for bumping this and the wall of text. Just wanted to present an updated sackholder list and to let everybody know that while our leader has attempted to move on from XI, we're still going and still looking for anybody interested in doing endgame from ye olde bygone era.
To anybody who would ask "What's the point when you can just farm the gear on a 119?", the answer is simple: because it's fun. Joined roughly around Dec of last year and even went so far as to farm a lot of the gear I would have been seeking on my 75 mule on my 119 so the mule would have it. Yet still showing up every weekend I have off from work has been far more fun then anything I have personally experienced in the game since roughly VW era, if not further back.
Another thing to consider is that just because one can farm the gear as well on a 119 does not mean one must farm the gear on a 119. Everybody is perfectly free to hold off and wait for said wanted loot to drop during our events.
For years, a lot of players have wanted to go back to "the good old days", now is the chance to join a group of players who have done that as best as we could . So if anybody has an interest, send a /tell to one of the sackholders and bring friends.
EDIT: How does one "walk of text"?

This sounds really great and fun, I am just starting back up sadly all over again, I left the game in 2010 with about 13 75's and it was so fun, I left a day after the next level cap and sadly since my account was so old it was unrecoverable so I must start all over again. I have been playing a trial version a few days now and really been enjoying it, gonna hop on full time starting after the update would love to join and have some good ol school fun! Character name also Jnumbahz/Asura

Posting from my original main char to say hello to a fellow Gilgameshian ~! It has indeed been a lot of fun, not the same 75 endgame you remember, but still some of the most fun I've had in game in years. If you have not gotten a run down on the changes to the game(overall, not just 75), BGwiki has an excellent guide here:
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Returning_to_Vana%27diel
In short, it will not take you long to get back to 75, or to even 99. Just be aware that Level Sync does not work in Nyzul, assaults, or SCNMs and inventory can become a major problem carrying gear for 75 and 119 on a single character. As such a lot of us have mules we use as 75 era characters.
If you decide to buy the game officially and stick with it, feel free to hit one of the sack leaders up, should you decide to join us, and we'll gladly pass you(and any friends you bring) a pearl.

Why level 75?
A little over a year ago I began playing on a new character while introducing my girlfriend to FFXI, her first game ever. In the first few weeks as she got a grasp on how to play we made it to 99 and had our itemlvl equipment ready when we dinged. With our new power we began doing the story missions and old content, during which I repeatedly would tell her "this was so much harder at level 75", or "this was way more fun at 75". After 6 months of this we had blown through everything with little to no effort. Rank missions, Dynamis, RoZ, CoP, ToAU, WoTG, SoA, Abyssea, Salvage, and many others. So in January we made our 75 capped characters and it was a whole new ballgame of falling on our face. We've since completed again Rank 10, RoZ, CoP, ToAU, add-on scenarios, up to the last mission in WoTG, and near the end of chapter 2 in Rhapsodies all at 75 cap. There are still things we want to do, but trusts can only go so far! This is why we decided to make a new linkshell so we could do these things with people and make new friends!
"You're not playing at the true level 75!"
I've had people say if you want to truly play at the old 75 you can't use certain pieces of gear or savage blade since it can do 4k+ damage now. I welcome any and all things currently usable at 75. Fasttravel options, mounts, trusts, any gear we didn't have in 2007. Use any of it!
Can I use my item level character to gear up? YES! Go for it! This isn't about just gearing people up at 75 cap, it's about doing the events for nostalgia and fun! Everything you ever wanted at 75 is available and usually pretty cheap! If you choose to just have crap gear and get it from the events we can do that too!
Do I have to delevel my job to 75?Not necessarily. In open world areas we can level sync parties to 75, in areas like Salvage/nyzul isle/KSNM 99/ark angels or any battlefield area this is unavailable. I believe level sync also works in alliance though there has to be a 75 person in each party. If you wish to delevel a job to 75 and turn on merits or make a new character solely for 75 cap go for it!
If you are interested in suffering with me send a /tell to Lordwmd for a pearl, or my mule Slashr if I'm bazaaring.
