WOW or FFXI online?

I have been playing WOW for a while now and i played FFXI in the past. But I have always wondered if it is worth playing instead of WOW. I heard of all gil sellers and the jacked up prices on the equips nowadays. One of my friends has played it a few years ago but they still charge him even though he doesnt play im not sure if anyone has had that problem but i dont want that to happen to me . If anyone has any input its much appreciated

I remember my ex mentioning something about FFOnline charging him when he doesnt play and they charge you if you want to cancel your account. What I dont like about FFOnline is the fact that you had to pay for an additional character when on WoW you can make as many as you wish as far as I know.

You can make up to 10 characters, and all you need to do is pay the monthly fee. £9, not much. My dad pays for it

I love WoW, although it can get a bit boring. I'd like to see how XI Online is, but ... I dunno ... something is holding me back. Can you only Grind on XI?

As long as you cancel your account you will not be charged. As for the gilsellers SE has got rid of a lot of them lateley and you can check http://www.ffxiah.com/ to see how prices are these days, they're waay down.
And in FFXI theres only a need for 1 character, you can do everything with 1 character. You can have every job (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Jobs) at max level on a single character, you just talk to your moogle to change jobs whenever you want.

Theres plenty to do in FFXI other than grind, I've been playing about 4 years and I only have 3 jobs at max level, some of my friends that i've been with since the start have 5-10.
just to list a few things theres:
- Special Events (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Special_Events) Theres lots year round, Christmas and Halloween for example every year
- Crafting (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Crafting)
- Ballista (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Ballista)
- Besieged (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Besieged)
- Brenner (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Brenner)
- Fellow NPC (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Fellow)
- Quests (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Quests) Tons of these
- Missions (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Missions) again theres a ton of these, with awesome cutscenes and good story lines to follow.
- Chocobo breeding (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Chocobo_Raising)
- Chocobo racing (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Chocobo_Racing)
- Notorious Monsters (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Categor...rious_Monsters)
- Dynamis (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Categoryynamis)
- Limbus (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Limbus)
- Salvage (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Salvage)
- Einherjar (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Einherjar)
- Assault (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Category:Assault) still somewhat new, but thers already a lot of these with great rewards.
- Then theres The Pit coming some time this year which will be somewhat like a pokemon thing, collect and battle monsters.

I'm sure I missed something, but take a look at all those things theres plenty of fun to be had. And the first month is free so I'd say its worth a try since the game is pretty cheap (for PC/360 anyway)

FF11 is harsh when it comes to death. WoW isn't. In my opinion, that makes all the difference. Plus, FF11 doesn't have a catchy anagram.

I played 11 for 10 months but did not enjoy it too much and then i tried WOW (which 6 of my friends played compared to 0 on 11) and enjoyed it so i quit 11.

It wasn't a horrible game but wasn't for me.

Ive played both Wow and FFX11 though not to much on WoW, and FFX11 so far has been better. Seems more open ended and right now not ending do to a large amount of quests that can be done. Then theres the large number of jobs you can change into and some of the various and nasty combination of jobs. Just from my experience FFX11 is better thus far.

Errrr, are you kidding me? It takes a year to get to level 75 even, when playing 4 hours a day from what I heard. It takes less than a month to hit 60 in WoW.

I've played WoW for almost two years. I've done the whole raiding and collecting 'phat lootz'. I enjoyed playing WoW. I had two level 60s and one lvl 50 after a stopped.

I played on a Player vs Player server and it was fun. ;D Sure, leveling suck when you keep getting killed, but it's worth leveling in the long run. There are also some player vs player games as well.

Blizzard is pretty helpful as well. You can message a game master and they can answer you within 15 minutes to 45 minutes. They're very helpful. If your account gets hack they restore all of your items back.

WoW also has many holiday celebrations. There are many items to get such as pets and exclusive holiday items.

Most classes are pretty balanced. I'm not sure if Warlocks are still overpowered.
