FFXI online questions

[Ubernoob]

I'm not sure if I should buy this game because I don't know alot about it.

I went to the FFXI website but got no info on how big the community is and if you are able to fight other players (not just computer enemies)

I have watched the game live several times but it did not look like it had many players....

can anybody answer these for me?

Thanks for the help....

Don't be annoyed that you didn't get a reply straight away, everyone has to wait before they will get one. FFXI Online live view doesn't show the interesting palces like main towns. You can PvP but only in Linkshell battles usually.
