First, this game isn't a complete loss it just has some drawbacks. The first one being the cost of this game is higher then most other games of this type. You will have to have additional characters to hold items that you will need later on (mule characters). Most games allow you to just create more characters not FFXI you get one character for each account for free you will need additional accounts at 1$ per account for others. Second, the economy is very bad. Inflation is out of control in the game. To much seperation between really good items and not so good stuff for what you pay. This is probably because the game lacks a real solid community base like other games like world of warcraft. Third, soloing for exp of any type is impossible. You have to be in a party to level for most jobs. So, choose your job wisely you may want to consider leveling up most of your jobs at a similar pace if you always want to find a party or play as a healer job like whm they always seem to be in need. Lastly, rank is a bit of a joke it is simply about who you know and not always about what you know. Play if you wish but there are better games out there imo. Cya.
