Whos are the FFXI Vets that are playing EQ2???Follow

I am still currently playing FFXI, well not really playing it, i hardly play it once a week now.

Anyways, thinking about switching to this game, actually im pretty sure of it, i'm just trying to get some of my good friends from that game to switch over too, because they are the only ones that are really keeping playing that game at this time, it's just to damn boring.

I really do hope that EQ2 never turns to how FFXI is, FFXI is just so stupid now, ever level you're expected to get the best gear, and since i don't know a great way of making it, it takes forever, and i dont have that much time, like i said, i can maybe play 2 hours a day if i'm REALLY lucky. If not then i ussually dont play at all.

They won't :( They are very high lvl, many of them...and very much into FFXI and play for 12 hours a day. I mentioned it once and they were like <_<;;; no.

I think it's because a lot of them have heard of EQ1 getting a bed rep for some reason. A lot are hard core anime fans, and some are at end game now and I guess enjoying it. I really wish they'd have switched with me though.

I played FFXI from NA PC release until June this year. I might have gone back at some point this fall while waiting for EQ2 and WoW to release; however, SE's brilliant idea of wiping characters/accounts after 3 months means I will never go back. I left because my fiancee could never get his Pally AF completed, and because I was starting to feel the need to grind for gil, and I woke up and realized "why am I doing work disguised as a game and paying for it??" I just hope EQ2 doesn't end up feeling the same way for me.

Oh, I was on the Pandemonium server, 60 RDM/39 BLM; 53 BRD/45 WHM, 26 SMN with all avatars except Fenrir, all the other jobs somewhere between 10 and 21, full AF for both RDM and BRD (god I miss my RDM hat) and had finally got my Dark Staff... the gil-grinding for the Dark Staff is what finally did me in with the game :(

I begin FFXI at the US ps2 release , i reach 68 and after i got enough money for a Pc ( 2 week ago ) i quit FFXI and join EQ2 . at higher lvl FFXI is more like a work than a game and after i quit i sell my 2 million gil to Chinesse Gil Farmer who ruin this game economy . Also japanesse had 1 years of advance and got all the nice gear and know all the game already . It suck when u begin a mmorpg and people already know and did all the stuff of the game .

lol >.> I was a drg/thf .. Almost every party I got in.. they would say: "Got war sub?" ... -.-;;; so I'd be like .. whos in the pt? and they would say ohh "drk/war drk/war thf/nin nin/war whm/blm".. and I'd bet 1k gil that I would outdmg the drks .. so I'd always get free mithkabobs :-D (hehehehe penta >.> hehehehehehe)(like in ballista penta the lil taru blm.. hehehehe)

Anyway yeah I'm a FFXI vet.. from Pandimonium.. USAchan ls (the most famousest of all pink hobbits.. ehh I mean link shells) member :-D.. but none of those guys would come to eq2.. ;(.. haha I still have thier website its http://www.sinisterpenguin.com/FFXI/

FFXI well dunno if I classify as a vet.. highest job was 36th WHM after a year+. Yeah I level slowly.. I would farm literally every 5 levels for weeks at a stretch to afford the next level in spells and armor.. as a result, my WHM was only lacking 3 spells (one of which was erase) and had armor for her level...

and it was fun.. but I wanted to solo after several bad parties... so I took up BST which was fun but honestly I'm a mage or thief player.. and don't get me started on THF.. that job is HELL on earth in FFXI.

Course jumping into SWG didn't help my FFXI career 'cause I could solo in SWG which made it fun til the gaping hole that is a near total lack of content became apparent.

so with EQ2 my desire to solo when I want combined with my desire to play a mage or rogue has found a home... only reason I log into FFXI now is to find a few LS members to give back a few things they let me borrow.. once that's done it'll be dropped never to return.

My FFXI story is sad . . . well, not really.

I was pretty much just starting to enjoy FFXI a couple weeks ago when BAM! My laptop that I played on got stole'd. Needless to say I had to cancel my account and for ***** and giggles I had everything go byebye. I miss my linkshell and all the other cool people on Odin . . . but I was still young. 33WAR 25MNK 17DRG and various other jobs at various other levels.

My online gaming started with Everquest and carried on with the beta tests of many games. I jumped from EQ to DAoC which was perdy gewd but still had something missing . . . so I jumped back to EQ and then started playing XI last Christmas. I'd probably still be playing it right now if I still had my laptop. But ah well, things happen for a reason. I was in the open beta for WoW and just found that it really wasn't for me. So I'm placing all my hopes and dreams in EQ2 - returning to the land where I first came from. I'm partial to Norrath and I look forward to my return come Christmas day.

The one thing that was bad about FFXI was the severe lack of roleplaying, and as some players have mentioned, the terrible 1337 attitude. Now I love to be "1337" so that's no problem but I am definitely CRAVING some roleplaying. Yay for roleplay preferred servers!

Anyways, I played Ildrael on the Odin server. You can find my pic at www.ffxiplayers.com. Good times, good times indeed.

Rest in piece, you sexy man-Hume, you. */salutes*

I can't be considered a vet..but I did play for 3 months or so.
