Can you minimize in WoW? That was one thing that annoyed me about FFXI is that if you wanted to have a quick check on a website or talk on MSN, you had to log out and then log back on which gets really annoying. Especially if you are in a party. I was told you could get a programme for it but was recommended not to as there was a possibility of being banned.

Yeah WoW had the option of pressing the Windows button on your keyboard to go to your desktop and you could access the Internet and Msn. I always did that for checking stuff on Internet when it was stuck.

Yeah, I run my WoW in windowed mode. Mostly because this laptop isn't quite up to the graphical prowess my fried Gateway was, so I have it running in 800x600 mode, but with it windowed in my desktop the graphical quality rendering is still up to par with the smoothness of my 1280x800 desktop resolution. You might say that I've "tricked" it into running smoother while looking just as good.

I love the WoW, if you couldn't already tell from the avatar and sig. I haven't tried FF11 yet. But I'm told you lose exp each time you die and can actually level DOWN and that doesn't quite sit well with me. But overall, I'd have to sit down and test out a trial or some such if they even offer one. When I finally get completely dead-ass bored of the WoW, maybe I'll check out this one or another MMO.

I played WoW since Open Beta and just quit last month, I had 3 lvl 70s in epics and some 60s and 50s. I was fun for awhile but it got annoying and boring real fast waiting on group members for instances. It's very easy to sit down for what feels like an hour and it's suddenly dark outside.

I tried FFXI and it was kind of confusing and the battle system seemed kind of clunky compared to wow. The game had more substance and lvling is more rewarding. It's more then just grinding to lvl 70. In FFXI their are many side quests, and customization for your character. I'd give FFXI another chance if I felt like playing $12 a month.

It's hard to get bored of WoW. Blizzard is good at keeping their subscribers occupied. Now that Illidan , Lady Vashj and the other guys (forgot their names) are defeated Blizzard is releasing another dungeon. (From what I heard >_>)

Yeah, I remember waiting for instances. We use to schedule our raids an hour early to get everyone ready. Even then it takes another half and hour to run into the instance, and make sure all 40 party members were ready to go. Oh well, at least for AQ 40 I ran around mind controlling people and got killed by guards before we started.

Yup, Blizz has always been real good about putting your $15 a month to good use and keeping the content updated. Even if much of it are things I'm not interested in, like all of that holiday garbage or that faire that travels between Goldshire and Thunder Bluff, I've still got to recognize that they've put it out there and people go off on it and it keeps them busy. Black Temple is that Illidan instance, that's the latest one they've thrown out there. I haven't heard anything about a new dungeon after that, but I haven't yet looked over the latest summary of the next patch and I'm told there's already going to be a couple new features like an integrated voice thing so people won't have to rely on outside programs like Vent, etc for party voice chat, and there's going to be a separate guild bank for all the guilds out there.

Raid instances...bleh. I think they toned it down from 40 now, the highest is 20 or 25 or some such. My only excursion into that has been a really ugly and poorly organized PuG into Zul'Gurub over in STV, it was a 20 man and it took FOREVER to get everyone set up to enter the place, and FOREVER again to gear up for the first boss. Some priestess bitch, I don't remember her name. I just remember it took bloody ages and much debate to figure out how to go about engaging her, and it was finally decided that the main tank would run up the stairs and keep her occupied. The rest of us 19 folks were to stay well below her stairs and stay back because she has some devastating AoEs. The plan was everyone else takes out her guards and extra support while the tank obviously keeps the main boss distracted, then we all move in and take out her once her adds are all dead. The very first thing that happens once it took like 20 minutes making sure everyone understood what the plan would be is that half the group runs up the stairs just like they were told not to do and they get decimated by her AoEs. It was a group wipe of course, and naturally suddenly everyone had tons of errands and other such lame excuses to leave the group and out of a group of 20 there were only 5 or 6 of us left at the end to distribute the meager loot between. At least the group leader had the presence of mind to have the loot system set to master loot like that.

I never played wow, but started FFXI yesteday actually....so I am gonna give it a go....at least I can say in the end of my free trial I tried it if I do not like it and do not want to continue....

Set up was not hard, but took ages,..bleeding 4 hours of updating and uploading files....in the end it was all ready to go...works fine and well...

Though I am confused as hell ...have no clue what I am doing but I guess I'll find my way around....ahmm...eventually...
