Okay, I've taken a break from my almost nonstopt FFXI playing to give an update. This game now owns my soul. Sure, gil is next to impossible to get and the world passes cost at a MINIMUM of 1000 gil, it's still a great game. Did I mention that it takes forever to level up plus you can level down? Yeah, I've died so many times that I've actually leveled down twice. :\ Every time you die you lose around 200 exp. There is a way to get around the world pass though so that isn't a problem either. The only thing that I have found that I don't really like is how hard gil is to get. It's probably just because I'm still so new at the game but for now, it's a bitch trying to get stuff. It seems like everybody on there is nice too. If you're fighting a monster and are getting your ass handed to you, somebody will usually come up and cast protect, cure, etc on you. I am yet to meet a mean person in that entire game. The auction house is also great. There are several of them in each town and anybody can sell whatever they want, they choose a price and list it and people bid on it. It's a great way to find that one item that you've searched all over for. Well, I'm off to play it some more, I don't want to waste my 30 day trial!
