I'd would rather play Ragnarok Online. Not only can you choose what type of class your character could be, but it's unique in it's own way. on the server I'm playing on (RRO (Ragnarok Revolution)), They have a special guild war called the war of Empirium, in which the objective is to invade opposing guild's castles, and destroying the empirium within the castle, making the castle your guilds. They also have PvP areas.

World of Warcraft is better than any of these MMO's in every way ';..;' ( even if I havent played them =P) and with the exception of warhammer online, that might be good.

WoW has a really interesting storyline ( if you read the books ), the gameplay cant be beat, partying and teaming up with other players is fast and easy, getting equipment and completing long chained quests is rewarding, the end game raiding is supeR! and the people on my realm at least are very cool to talk too and help you out. =D
o ya, and the graphics are stunning and beautiful.=)

Plus raiding capital cities is really fun, though I play alliance and we always get swarms of horde on us evertime we do, most of the time we get owned. lol, Horde raids Darnasus and no one cares! XD

The only reason I quit FFXI was because somebody stole my money. It is truly hard to become bored with that came, simply because its hard to do everything. After 6-7 years there is still no way you could have done everything.

After I quit Final Fantasy I had a friend force me into trying WoW....I must say I simply did not like it. Comparing it to Final Fantasy made the game seem horrible to me. It is far to easy imo, and I was disappointed that you can only select one class per character. With FF you can have as many classes as you want on the same character, which makes the game a lot more versatile.

WoW is far more accessible, I'll give it that... but its overly simplistic gameplay and its horrific graphics (which only WoW advocates really seem to be impressed by, though I'm always baffled when they praise such) are a major turn off to many serious gamers.

WoW is much of a joke to most people I know... and a life drainer to only one... that said, I give it props for doing so well... apparently its simplicity and easily supported graphics that make it so accessible have given it the top spot as far as continuing subscriptions are concerned (it actually has not sold the most copies, but that doesn't mean anything since it has the most subscribers), and that makes it the biggest MMO success of all time... raking in well over $100 million a month from scabs who truly deserve to play it for free at this point.
