Sorry guys...

I was at one of the local game stores today and spotted a WoW prepaid cards..... and that is a good nudge for me to join it so I might stray off to follow Blizzard out and use custom interface and be a creepy little troll mage cant go wrong for 35.00CAN for 60 days as many characters....and not so H4rdcore pwned by the elitists and gil sellers.

It will eventually turn into FFXI's gil seller situation... :?

lol WoW is in no way equal to FFXI. I saw the game, disregarded it due to graphics, then did some reasearch and bought it. And lo and behold, I'm not playing casue it's just not pretty enough. It's also really really really easy. I have a theory that every FFXI player that's past 50 is a masochist.

WoW breakdown, (imo)

Pros:
-Easy to pick up
-You don't need a lot of time
-Custom abilites (you pick which ones you want)
-"Rest Satuts" yeilds 200% exp if you're logged out for a long enough time, this makes it easy to catch up to your freinds.
-You get exp for doing just about everything
-At this point money isn't hard to get
-No loading up differnt zone, unless you travell to the other island
-duels, you ask someone to duel, you can fight, and no exp lost or gain, just for fun.
-Soloing
-No exp loss

Cons:
-Lacks the graphical "flash" that FFXI does, that is to say, it's kinda blocky.
-Almost too easy (I like a small challange)
-Race/Job restirctions
-Too many "Go fetch me this item" quests.
-No Auction House
-You have to walk till 30 (30 is concidered "High-level"
-Having to run back to your body from a graveyard that is way too far away, or dying in an aggro spot and dying again.

There's my breakdown, I have 3 chars, 2 around 6 or 7 and one at 11, it's a simple game that doens't consume tons of time, but also lacks the same "vibe" as FFXI.

Well my problem is the payment methods, the whole non uber time consuming thing, and starting over on ffxi is like trying to sew on your genitals after they met the blender. So this is my other option for mmorpgs that and graphics dont bother me since I play games already that couldnt be any worse.... Team fortress Classic anyone

:shock:

Actually - I made a new character to play on Josh's server....and at first I thought it would be a pain to "start from scratch" and have to get fame and rank 1 and crap all over again - but it is actually fun. I am taking the game from a whole new perspective now - as a Hume MONK Alchemist LOL - and I must say, I am a badass :twisted:

-No Auction House

Actually there is an AH and I rather like the WoW AH system better than FFXI's.

-You have to walk till 30 (30 is concidered "High-level"

You can actually ride griffens at any level. They are quick and convenient. You just need to have the flight path. Then you can get a mount at level 40 though they are expensive.

Oh yeah, arent the AH's only in certain places, not in all nations? Just like one AH for alliance and horde....I believe the alliance AH is in Ironforge, which conveniently enough will be my starting point when i pick up WoW.

Yeah as far as I know the only AH for Alliance is in Ironforge which leads to a lot of lag. Sucks... Don't know if it's true but I heard in beta that they had AH's in every major city like Stormwind but they had problems with it. That would be so much more convenient if they'd do that.
