Forums and site are up for me, have been for awhile.  Must be you.

LOL youre all idiots.  I dont see any of you geniuses making any MMORPG's, until you learn something about net code shut the hell up.  It really doesnt matter how many programmers they hired, and they arent gonna hire any more just because they had 1 day that you think was F*cked up.  Go play some other MMORPG's and youll see how good you have it.  When Blizzard has had days like this in the early stages after release, they compensated with adding extra days to your play time, so no ones losing anything, I know it sucks for 1 day, but damn, chill out. 

As for slapme7times, you need to be slapped at least that many times.  My avatar has nothing to do with anything, and those arent typos.

edit - nm, just slow. Pay me no mind, just venting a little :)

I would find it highly unlikely their web servers are on the same pipe as their game servers.  Most likely it's just getting hammered because people can't log into the game.

Well then its your fault for playing a PvP oriented game.  Ive listed the reason ffxi is not a good game many times.  Worst UI of any game I have ever seen.  Dorky looking char mods, not to mention lack of customization.  Lack of mob varieties, I mean come on, you seen 1 goblin, worm, etc youve seen em all.  Lack of variety of armor and weapons, everywhere I went there was 10 other ppl that looked exaclty the same.  Really annoying. I could go on but its not worth it.

No, we left because we figured out that it sucked on our own, lol.

It doesn't suck, you're just tired of it.

Same difference, I was tired of it after 1 month, mainly because it sucks hard.

World of Warcraft sucks because you get ganked by Honor Farmers even though you aren't even worth any honor to them. So my oppinion is that WoW sucks and I have stopped playing it, and your oppinion is that FFXI sucks due to some reason.

Peace now, Ok?

Hmmmm. Good point. I c it is completely justified as well. Congratulations on showing how immature u r. This post has nothing to show and it is completely pointless. I think it should be closed.

For the record,this is the last time I answer any such post. If ppl r not willing to come into these forums and discuss anything about FFXI in a serious and mature manner then it isn't worth reading them.

10 Reasons not to play FFXI

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Waiting.
Anything you do you have to wait. If I'm going to do a quest I have to wait 4 hours for a boss monster to spawn. If I attack a prime like Shiva and I die. I have to wait one real life day till I can attack it again. If I want to take an airship I have to wait 11 minutes for it to come. If I want to get some exp I have to wait and form a party then we could have 5 people waiting to party but then we need a 6th person but we can never find one.

9. Pvp
Worst pvp I have ever seen. The pvp is city verse city team style. So let’s say 12 Bastok people show up and 18 Sandorians show up. It’ll be 12 verses 18. So no matter what you do you’ll lose. Their is no FFA pvp its all team based. I could be owning some Taru then 3 of his buddies will come up from behind and kill me. Theirs no point in doing pvp. If you win you get a small amount of Gil. Blms own pvp, since everyone is close too each other. Only thing a blm has to do is cast sleepga and enfeeble his enemies then pick them off one by one.

8. Exp and death penalty
Only class that can solo in ff is the beast master. So any other class needs a party to get exp. After level 60 it takes about 3 hours to get a party, for others its 7 or 8 hours. Once you start the party what usually happens is someone has to go or someone gets agro from a monster and dies or your party members suck. Then if you die and usually when you die their isn’t a priest with raise 2 around, so when you respawn you lose 3k exp. 3k exp takes about one hour and 30 minutes to get, since most parties suck.

7. Genkai
Genkai is a like a limit break that lets you level higher. Like the level cap with out genkai is level 50. To get 55 you have to do genkai 1 witch is hard for most people. That’s why most people quit ff at level 50. I have met so many people who have quit ff just because of that. It’s some stupid square scheme of making you go to high level areas and hunt for some rare rare rare item that takes for ever to get and is almost impossible to do with level 50's. It’s completely pointless and stupid it’s just another thing that makes you play long so they can collect their monthly fees. You have to do this stupid quest every 5 levels after 50.

6. Crafting
God where do I begin. First of all you lose so much money crafting because of the ****d up econ (ill get to that later). Then once you get the items to make the item you want to make. You have to wait till it’s the day in the game day that coincides with the crystal that makes the item. So if I make an item with a fire crystal on waters day ill probably fail. Failing god do I hate failing, back in the day I thought it was ok, but once you get 100k items to make some big thing and you fail and lose the items you hate it. Leveling up crafting is retarded; you have to buy all the materials then sit there making the same item over and over again. You can be a level 90 crafter and still lose money; in any other game you would be loaded.

5. Magic scrolls
You have to buy magic to be able to use. When your level 20 you barely have any money as a blm and the sad part is most of the scrolls you need are 20k plus. Then when you hit 50 ancient magic is like 100k plus a scroll. That you barely use, but you need em because people always ask you to use em. They should have made it so you learn skills not having to buy them as a mage.

4. AF
The worst idea I have ever seen in a mmorpg, wait actually one of the worst ideas. AF is this armor that makes you look like your job in classic ff job specific armor. Like my blm looks like a traditional blm with it on. Well to get any of it done you need 18 people you need to go to some smacked up area with mobs who are level 70 plus and shit. Sit there for 5 hours killing mobs till it drops the key, and then find the box witch takes another 4 hours. Then you have to fight notorious monsters that usually kill 6 people who are in your alliance. Then the af doesn’t even give you good stats that’s the worst, like my body af gives me vit plus 1 when I’m a god damn blm.

3. Crabs
Crabs crabs crabs crabs. You kill the same monster for the whole entire game practically. I killed crabs in south gustaberg, crabs in vulkurm dunes, crabs in quifim, crabs in kuftal tunnel, and crabs in the boyhoda tree. Constantly crabs at least they could change the color or something but no same model but with a different name.

2. Shitty point less jobs that can be replaced by other jobs and race specific stats.
Ok first of all here are the crappy jobs in ff11 Dragoon, summoner and ninja. Why? You ask here’s why. Ninja is a poor mans paladin, ninja can’t hold agro and if he gets hit 2 or 3 times he’s ****d. Ok he has his powders but once they run out he’s screwed. If I cast stone 1 I get agro with a ninja, agro is when the monster comes to you and attacks you. Dragoon he does shitty damage and is out classed by all damage dealers. Summoner is just a whm basically, you get him in your party for heals. His summons are worthless. Are you kidding me jwbxx summoners did so much damage in all the other ff's. Nope sorry my blm can out damage a summoner any day. I have seen all the summons die to crabs and other crappy shit. Race specific stats omg so pointless. See in any other game if I sucked at hp but had tons of int it would affect me. Because I could own in damage but once I get hit I’m ****d. Not in ff11 since everything so party related the party makes up for your weakness. So their is no point in being a Hume since every other race can do your job better. Like I’m a blm Hume but a Taru blm has 200 more mp and like 20 more int. He has shit hp, but since you never solo in ff the party can protect him. So that’s how Hume’s ability to be good in everything and not suck in anything is negated.

1. Auction house system omg worst idea.
This is how the ah system works. You put something up for sale a bidding price, if someone matches it or exceed it you get the Gil for the item. Sounds good right? Nope. Some dick see's that I put up 5 dark steel swords for 35k each, but since he has no patience he decides to sell his for 34k. Next guy sees that and sells his for 33k, and lower and lower the price goes. So then that hurts the crafters. It ends up that the materials are worth more then the final product. That’s why the ah system sucks.

FF is a game that requirs ALOT of hard work you ass, lots of missions, quests, leveling and other things that need to be done.

Well you are a bit off. It depends on what you consider raids. A lot of people think BCNM is the same as raids. In which case, there are all kinds of BCNM's and ENM's. Some are solo, some are duo, some are trio, some are a 6 person pt, and some are an 18 man alliance. If you are talking about God pops or something, you can take however many people you want. Only 18 of them can do damge to the mob, but others can support all they want.

Your view is so biased an wrong that it's not even funny. More than half of the stuff you post is completely inacurate.

My guess...? You got to about level 30, and realized how hard it was going to be to get to 75, or accomplish anything really cool. And you decided that you wanted an easier, faster game, so you went to WoW. Now you post here to make yourself feel like you are a better player than anyone in FFXI, when in reality, you couldn't hack it.

All I'm saying is that it is apparent you at least didn't get past level 50. And there is sooooooo much more to this game after that, specifically, once you get to 75.

For the record, I am a 75 RNG and 65 WAR.

Sorry but nothing I said was opinion, its all facts.  Nor did I say that "FFXI sucks" or anything about fanbois or anything else.  I just wish someone had been there to spread the truth about this game before I spent money on it.  So if I can save just 1 person, just 1, it will all be worth it.  Hehe actually I have saved a few from it, I just always wanted to say that.

Youll be like me wishing you could have your 50 dollars back.  If you havent already spent the money I'd advise not to.  Waste of time, too much time looking for a party, all the characters look too similar, terrible char creation, the mobs all look the same, the UI is horrible beyond belief etc.  If this is your first MMORPG then you may like it but theres so many better games out there.

So anyone who can't enjoy it isn't intelligent? You may want to rethink your title. DDO does not deserve a 9, what new features does it offer over other MMORPGs, none I would say. The combat in game is boring, quests are bland, there are no trade skills, there is no PVP, no player owned buildings, and forced grouping. Heck, it doesn't even have the monk or druid, and you can't be evil!
