Anyone else online yet? If you need, I’ll go about buying a worldpass to get people onto my server, then I’ll pick up an RPGC Linkshell so we can all stay in touch.
And I don’t want to hear crap on this thread about the monthly fee. There’s already been a thread to bitch about that. If you want to upkeep the server yourself, feel free, but I’m fine paying less than $0.50 / day to keep the server running. It’s about $0.50 even to play two characters on two different servers. Hell, I spend more than that on Cherry Coke every day, and at least 10 times that on food.

Stupid Norway.
That should be okay. Can I bitch about how you Europeans always bitch about stuff not being released there in a timely fashion, even though you got FFX International and a bunch of stuff we gamers in the US wanted? Can I bitch about how the US got Silent Hill 3 last? Can I bitch about how the world is run by a group of guys in France that have nothing but their own interests in mind?
Can I bitch about how this thread SUPPOSEDLY about FFXI has so far been nothing but people complaining?
Seriously, I’ve heard a bunch of things about it that bother me, and I want to know how true they are, and if it’s worth me spending the money on or not.

Actually, I can say with pretty good certainty that during at least one brief period during the past year, the world was run by a flock of geese that likes to spend its time on some soccer fields not far from my house. I wouldn’t say that they have nothing but their own interests in mind, but they are geese for goodness sake! It isn’t easy for them to take everybody’s interest into account.
The <A HREF=“http://www.atari.com/”>second largest 3rd party game develoer in the world</A> is located in Europe. And their games usually (with few exceptions) come out in America last, not to mention that they often translate kick-ass JP games for EU countries and never for the US (like Shining Soul).
For the curious, Atari (formerly Infogrames, LLC) is second only behind Electronic Arts, and American company. The third largest 3rd party publisher is Sega, out of Japan. So each of the three largest game markets have a chunk in the top three developers.
I wish I could really afford it … and my parents are kinda sensitive about me asking for something as expensive as <i>another</i> video game for Christmas at the moment, since I’m already asking for FFX2 and Disgaea. But yeah, it’d be cool if I could play it.
I personally don’t have a problem with the monthly fee because I understand that the servers require funding. I just don’t like the feeling of obligation you have with a MMORPG. I don’t like feeling obligated to play a game because there’s bill for it at the end of the month. Well, that and I don’t have a broadband connection or a computer that can handle it and I won’t buy more stuff to turn my PS2 into a computer.
If I did play, I’d be a Tarutaru Black Mage too. My friend and I can’t get over how cute they are. Cute…but deadly :mwahaha: .
<img src=“http://www.rpgclassics.com/staff/tenchimaru/td.gif”> Well, if someone takes care of the worldpasses. I might pick it up if it gets to Europe, but there are a ton of normal releases coming out first, so I’m not sure.
From my point of view I might as well import it: There’s no way SquareEnix will do anything special for the European release, if it’ll even come to exist.
