MMORPG 


Since I'm on a gaming drought for my gamecube and PS2 for both financial and "there's nothing out there" reasons, I decided a few months ago to revive my Final Fantasy XI character. I was sorely left behind already by those I once partied with but they were willing to help. And somehow I've been trudging my way through.

There aren't that many players as there once was. World of Warcraft got them. So chances are you'll be playing with Japanese players, many of whom don't speak english. Through the help of many kind players who got me through the Valkrum Dunes, the road to Jeuno, my Chocobo license, Qufim, the Kazham Airship Pass, my summoner job I had done quite a lot. Although I don't play as much as I want to or used to. (You need at least three hours per playing time to get anything done.) The hard part about playing are pesky players and looking for people to party with. The only time you can get a decent party lately is on the weekend, when everyone is home playing. Unlike when the game started out, there were a ton of people running around screaming for party members. Now, it's been quiet.



There are too many high level characters. The good part about it is you can get a raise pretty quick or call for help if needed. (I wonder if I can get a choc into Norg. Hmmm...) I've got a pretty decent level now. But I want to get the missions out of the way. My friends are not always online anymore and linkshell is practically dead.

Hopefully things will change when classes begin in September.
