after CoP I would have said 8/10, but since ToAU came out, 9/10
The game is great, and has lasting appeal. Like all games it has its faults, but we know then and live with them and embrace to good things (which there are many of).
I just noticed a powerleveling add at the top of the screen... that would be one of the problems of the game... lazy ****s who don't want to really experience the game...
The only time I really like PLing, is when I'm on my 15th job through the dunes, and wish to just avoid the n00bs out there. >.>
It get's tiring leveling 1-20 the same way 15 times through. T_T
I personally don't mind PLing, but I'd never pay for one. It's just a bonus that means better exp.
Also a means for newbs to stay newbs....>_>; PLing is the bane of all newb problems, let em die a few times to learn.
From my experience, most don't learn even after deaths. It just accellerates the idiocy that is n00b inside them. >.>
And results in more often then not a "OMFG this exp is t3h suckerz! I h4x better exp, you suck I leave!" Which I've gotten that response to a death in more then one dunes party. >.>
I'd probably give it a 6 out of 10 or a 7 out of 10.
I've died more than enough to not be a noob. I still like PLing.Quote:

I don't self inflict any misery upon myself without fair compensation (that's how I justify going to work). If I didn't think FFXI was a great game, I wouldn't be playing it. I can't exactly put my finger on what works, but FFXI certainly has something going for it, and I can't stop playing.
I'd Give It a 6 or 7...for the simple reason u cannot solo anything worth getting...this game is to heavy on working together! don't get me wrong it can be good..but sumtimes i know u just don't feel like dealing with assholes in a party and u want to solo(nd get the same exp) nd lv..nd don't get me started on the diffcuilty of the mobs in higher lvs..at my Lv Easy Prey is not Easy Prey..more like Tough or Very Tough..nd then u gotta worry about the exp lose IF u die >.
6. Its boring me now. All I do is craft basically, untill inflation hits, then I'll rate it an 8.
