Finally a decent MMO!
This game can literally just steal you're life cause you will be playing this game 24/7, it is very addicting! The community in the game is great, some people can be jerks but not all. The leveling in this game since release date has improved but it is still a pain to level. You will just notice yourself leveling forever.
FFXI can last you about a year or even more but it ain't free, it costs $12.95 each month, and $1 per character. I thought the $1 fee charge was ridiculous. But that does not stop others from playing this game.
Overall Final Fantasy XI is just a decent MMO you can play, but don't play it if you're not a patient person because this game is very time consuming. If you want a decent MMO grab FFXI.
