Believe it or not, I still play it on my spare time...Anyway, I found two really good servers that seems promising...So it'd be great if you guys could help promote them by voting for them.
Here are the links:

Note: I'm only asking you to vote, so you don't have to if you don't want to. ;)
Also, you don't have to join the servers, but that decision is also up to you.

If only I had seen this BEFORE I deleted RO forever XD

Oh yeah... /slap.

Does this server require a monthly fee? If not, I'd play. If so, I'd play if I had the money. I love this game. It's soo adorable! Everything so chibi and cute! I love it! <3

The private servers, namely the ones Saizo mentioned, are free. However you need to get a proxy to download from as the most up to date clients that private (see: free) servers use are the Korean clients and they set it so you can only download from a Korean IP.

I miss playing FFXI...I'm trying to get a job...so that I can pay for it again...The Chinese restaurant I use to work at shut down... ><
I wonder if the Malboro LS is still alive... XD
Anyway, the private servers are really fun, and I think Renaissance RO gives you a site where you can dl both kRO and Sakray (you need both to play) without changing any of your internet settings.

Hmm...here's a place that I know for sure you can dl kRO and Sakray (for free): http://s8.invisionfree.com/forsakenROforum...php?showtopic=8
You might have to register first...but that's free too, so don't worry. B)

I stopped playing FFXI a long time ago. I'm actually going to re-start sometime soon, so maybe I'll see you on :D

And as far as I know, Malboro died and everyone sort of went their ways methinks.

i play on avalon/excalibur priv serv, free is fun specially with higher rates and stuff
