Yeah, if you have to start over, it might not be worth it to come back. FFXIV has a simultaneous PC and PS3 release date. And that date is roughly 1 year away. You may want to hang on til then.
If you can get your old character back, by all means, jump back into FFXI. Diabolos is "ok" nothing spectacular, but not a ton of douchebags either. But I'd say just stick on your old server if you come back with your old character.
