I've always wanted to try it, but I'm scared it might turn into addiction. Also, I might wait for XIV anyway...

I used to play this game, I was an Elvaan level 30 warrior named Jifan. Forget the server name. I stopped playing this because after a while it feels more like work than fun. By level 30 your spending hours just to level up a few levels. Hell, you might spend hours just looking for a party.

Also the equipment you'll need by then is very expensive, to get any deceant money you have to take on a craft, which involves collecting materials (searched or bought) creating a stack or putting them together to create a new item, and then selling at the auctions, keeping in mind to sell at the medium selling range (which always changes) in order to have your product not too expensive so someone will buy it, but not too cheap so you can get a profit. Then it is just a case of waiting for someone to buy it, which could take days

After spending countless hours doing this shit just so I am finally strong enougth to take on the next bloody misson and actually have some fun, I really have to wonder what's the point.

if you're doing it like that it's boring xD when I was doing it alone, I had NO fun. I was a tarutaru White Mage... BAD IDEA. nobody wants to party with a low level white mage >> at level 5 I completed an impossible feat that my friends STILL talk about though.

xD I walked from Windurst to Jeuno all by myself without once getting aggro. I had my party flag up and didn't understand why it was an issue. Until someone told me and I found a level like.. 40 something in there xD or higher I forget what they are. too big for a level 5 white mage that's for sure. so I was stranded in that city xD but it was hilarious. I thought it was a starter city like windurst, but nope. nope. high level.

but yeah. other than that, not fun. My brother and I play now and if you have people to play with? SO fun. we have a good time farming places and leveling. and the system for leveling is easier. easy prey gives like. 60 exp now and you can level sync.. that means if you party with someone smaller, it'll make you a lower level with the same sort of equipment while you're partied, so you both gain the same exp and you level normally. so you can be with a level 10 while you're level 18 and still get your level 19 normally. it's awesome :3 it makes the exp share even.

and I've never had money issues I always get the armor I need. I've never made my items and stuff o-o it's weird. I just get stuff in the field and put it on auction haha.

also, having people will make stories better. we do our stuff together, but we have personality. my tarutaru is very cute and innocent so I play him while we're doing stuff. and my elvaan's a horndog (accidentally abandoned my brother to chase women who ran by. I didn't realize something had aggroed him until I could hear him screaming at me from the other room. I felt bad but it was funny xD)
So it's how you play it. WOW is just as bad if you play it with that same idea..

and people are always around to help :3 we were doing our 2nd job quest and two guys just in the area decided to help us. they stayed on for 4 real time hours helping us get items we needed. they were AMAZING. they asked for nothing in return. just nice people. so you'll get them too. and there's also chocobo raising, breeding... and RACING *once level 20, will probably never leave room.. so I can just raise chocobo all day........*
