Yes... the price per month comes down to being not much and if you play a decent number of hours a week then your hourly cost is next to nothing especially compared to the VAST majority of other games. I did a break down of the math vs. games like Doom 3 and FFX in another thread but I'll spare it here.

If you can only manage 4 hours a week perhaps this isn't the game for you to begin with. It bothers me immensely when someone judges this game after playing for only a short time. Many don't make it past the first 20 or 30 levels and even in those there's just not even a fraction of the content of this game. What if...

-Man FFVI sucks. All you do is run around in some caves on big machine things.

-FFX sucks because all you do is fight some funny looking monsters on a bridge.

Seriously, this is what the comparison is like. Okay so you didn't play much and it wasn't that addicting to you. I CAN speak for a lot of people. This games is addictive. If you play more than just the earliest part of the game (which might take a month compared to 10 hours in a single player game) you might find some of the addictive elements. You cannot even begin to scratch the surface of the storyline until you are decently high level. I play with a large number of people and the people that have played this game even mildly to the fullest (at the very least level 50+) find it greatly addicting. I run into almost nobody in the game above that level that doesn't find the game at least a little addictive.




I don't wanna get in the middle of someone else's fight but I have to agree that it seemed you were the agressor toward Miriel and seemed to take offense at the drop of a hat and not the other way around... just my 2 cents

I'm like the rest and I can take some pretty big breaks here and there. Quitting however, would be nigh impossible and I'd rather not think about it. When I get frustrated I just take some time to play some offline games or whatever and then eventually I get my spark back and I'm good to go. As for my playtime I believe I trump most here in my addictiveness I have 203 days of play time since I started on July 10th of 2004 so I'm still just a bit shy of the 2 year mark.
