=/ lol... like I said, I can see that this game isn't for everyone... or at least you'd have to try it to start to like it.
Sometimes it feels like a one player game to me, cause I solo a lot... I'm not interested in parties unless I have to have one.
I would like to see a person in the wild here and there, but this is ok.
Town are interesting with people in them, and parties are fun, I dont know if guild members see eachother outside cause I haven't added anyone to my guild yet.
Outposts really make you feel like a traveller! cause you arive alone and wonder if anyone will be there, and lowandbehold there are a few, its interesting. ^_^;
Battle.net was just what I was comparing it too... but its really not, cause even in Towns there are tones of stuff/quests to do. So calling towns a waiting area, isn't really accurate at all... lol
This game gives you a sence of travel, and being alone, parties and quests that I've never experianced in an MMO. And at the same time, once you've traveled somewhere, you can click on that place on the map and go back there whenever you want too.
In my opinion FFXI is a terrible game, well, not terrible, but not great either. I'm so glad I cancelled my account, not just because of their decision in the CTR inccodent, but because the game wasn't very good. Maybe it just wasn't my kind of game. I also don't think I'll ever try Everquest. lol
