Ya I remember when my little flying rat was on a 2 hour, and we had no way to heal it when it got bitch slapped by mobs. Now it's a 20 min timer and we got healing stuff for it and it levels up as you fight. Geez the n00b DRG's get all the good stuff when I switch over to SCH.

I agree. I think that the turnaround time for the development team to make changes to the core system of the game is too high; moreover, I think that this caused a loss of players early on in the North American debut period.

My first character I got to 15 but was so bored to tears I deleted him...

But I gave FFXI a 2nd chance and now I'm 65 Blue mage and other things, the game has alot of depth you just need to meet some nice people and get going with the goodness.

Cool, I on the other hand loved this game for many years. It was only because of my time zone that I eventually left.

I would say you haven't really experienced much until you are a higher level, but then again I had awesome fun back in 2004 when I started out. I guess it depends who you play with.

FFXI enjoyment is directly linked to the people you hang out with in game.

Get into a Linkshell that sourrounds you with people you enjoy being around. Once you have that, relax, take your time to lvl and do quests, the more you rush for it the less youll enjoy it.

if you get the opertunity to rush through missions with friends/Linkshell mates by all means go ahead, but dont stress yourself on those aspects of the game.

an MMO is only as good as the friends you have in that MMO.

I played this game for a little while, got sick of WoW and WoW drama...

It was okay, but I was kind of disappointed at how hard it was to progress after level 12 or so. I got to 20 I think and started working on a Secondary, then didn't play for about a month which I pretty much took as my cue to drop game. I'm getting bored with WoW again though and loosely (LOOSELY) considering trying FFXI one more time... my big goal with that game was to unlock Dark Knight >=).

Of course Age of Conan is out now, too... and I love me some Conan...
