    Thinking of Buying...

    Sorry, i didn't mean to inspire an all out debate.... Just was expressing my opinion on why i thought FFXI was a better game. Basically the way i see it is this, wow appeals to a much larger crowd, but in my experience the mainstream crowd usually has bad taste. While WoW has alot of good...

    Thinking of Buying...

    "2 year old" is hyperbole, exaggeration to make a point. The same rewards, as in items and gear, are as attainable to a jerkwad idiot as to a good player because it's just too easy to get. The only real difference if you make the effort to try and play well is that you will win at pvp more...

    Thinking of Buying...

    FFXI - Worth Getting?

    I'm considering getting this game for Xbox 360 when i get a 360. But i'm split, i used to play everquest a long time ago, but when i tried to get back into about a year ago it just wasn't as fun anymore, i guess i was jaded by how fast paced WoW is after playing that for a couple years that EQ...
