trust me, ur better off with Guild Wars Factions or something, I played FFxi and loved it for like 6 months on and off, but it got too tedious, finding parties sometimes takes over an hour or until you give up, FFxi just offers very little extras, and graphics arent up to par. Chocobos are awesome, and the gameplay is addicting, but lvling is so slow you're going to lose interest in your character as i did. Leveling up to 20 seriously takes tons of mob fights with full parties from lvls 12-20... it gets really boring when you have to do that multiple times with different 'jobs' which lvl up separately. some of the quests are difficult to follow or drawn out to extend too much time. I recently got guild wars, lord of the rings online, and wow, and im starting to like Guild Wars the most, due to its Diablo feel and execution. You lvl up quicker than other mmo's in gw and its got a fun interface and story. Final Fantasy XI is a little too laid back and drawn out, while im sure the endgame is sweet and bad-ass, the game is just too dull in the beginning, and my ffxi chars never got past lvl 33 smile.gif also, ffxi has awesome fishing!!! i'd say get it if you wish to experience it!!!
my ranks
1. Guild wars factions or nightfall
2. Lord of the Rings Online
3. FFXI (final fantasy xi)
4. WoW
5. Cabal online

I'm going to say guild wars is one of the worst pay to play MMORPG's out there, I'm really tired of typing today so I'm not going to bother saying why, but trust me, it's really terrible. It's like playing a stupid flash game or something. TERRIBLE! 2/10


Lol this kid knows jack shit

I haven't even played Guild Wars and I know its not P2P.
You buy the game and its FREE then on, WoW and FFXI are P2P, not GW

Classic quote for "I dont knnow jack shit but will give an opinion anyway"

To the topic creator, its all about preference. Different people will prefer different games. Millions of people will trash talk WoW, but its the most played MMO out there... gives you an example of the diversity in gaming opinions.

I bought it...
It takes alot of time to get some gil, you'd need to find items that drop off enemies (which rarely happens) and sell em.
Or you can get an "aura" off some guards with their initials in their names, that will drop some elemental crystals that you can sell for a whopping 14 gil. lol

I just started, and playing the 30 day trial.
Not sure if I will continue play...

What's a good started char?
I can change my class if I want to, I tried Red Mage, but without any gil for magics I'm pretty weak tongue.gif

Good starting class is Monk since you can either fight h2h or weaponless, and monk doesn't require much starting gear. Warrior is another good job, and thf is essential for later in the game because they get "Treasure Hunter" which increases your drop rate.

Keep playing! what server do you play on? send a friend request on d2jsp, and maybe I can buy you a pass to come to my server permanently?

You only start out with 6 jobs but I'm pretty sure there is over 20 with the latest expansion, you just have to unlock them.

You can sell the crystals on the AUCTION House for like 1-2k a stack.

I reccomend not selling them. SAVE EM!!!
