MMO's are okay, just don't let them run your life. |

Very good read. One of these days, I'm going to have to save up my money for a trip. I've always wanted to go to the fanfest since 4 years ago, but I always seem to forget about it in time to save up the money. Perhaps next year I'll be there

The real question is...does that group of lovely ladies hire out for geeky bachelor parties? |

I call dibs on the third and fourth ladies from the left. They have the makings of a delicious Zorvan club sandwich. |

Why would asking that make you an ass? Unless... you were asking in some negative context... as if "the game is old"? See, this is the beauty of MMORPGs... MMOs are designed to last, ideally, for years. That FFXI is still going strong after 6+ years (including JP release), with an active, loyal community and no signs of slowing down from SE is a *good* thing. Not a bad thing. It seems every time you turn around. SE is implementing some new content into the game, a new game system, new HNMs (raid bosses, basically), new quests, missions, etc. etc. And they do this all within the context of the 75 levels already in the game... They don't do the usual "oh... we'll add more content by increasing the level cap and give them all 10 more levels to grind" that other MMOs fall back on, sometimes as often as every expansion. So... in response to your question... Yep... FFXI is 6+ years old, is going 500k players strong year after year, and shows no signs of slowing. |

I never played the game, but still: an excellent answer. Hello there, adventurer! |
