Popular Questions

Below are questions an Era neophyte might have.

Q: How many people play on Era? Will I be able to find/make experience points parties and participate in classic FF endgame?

A: As of the time of this writing, one would generally find over 100 characters online even at non-peak times. Equipping the Teh Social linkpearl all new characters start with, one can easily see there's always people on looking to do stuff and shoot the shit. Being a smaller community, most people care about their reputation and don't act like complete jackasses, which is nice.

Since Level Sync is active on the server and unrestricted, one can typically find or make an experience points party without an issue around the clock. Players can always elect to create alt characters and utilize them to fill in the gaps or powerlevel their parties if they'd like to do so.

Linkshells do classic FFXI events like Dynamis, HNMs, Salvage, Sea, Sky, ZNMs, and more on Era. It is up to you to attain access to these areas and network with fellow players in order to do them.
