I can't believe Final Fantasy XI is still in service ㄷㄷ

‌
It's been so long since XIV came out that I thought it had shut down a long time ago, but it's still in service.
It came out in '02 and has been running for 24 years now.
I tried to play it back in the PS2 era, but I couldn't even get started because of the language barrier and the sheer amount of preparation required.
