FFXI or EQIIFollow

thank god...

which simply makes my point, for every opinion there's an equal but opposite opinion. I hated the FFXI money system and the endless weeks of farming for one item. I LIKE item hunting raw materials cause it's (to me) more realistic and I know I can keep my crafting costs down if I simply spend the time to gather what I want... if you want to craft you'll need raw materials afterall.. and in FFXI you have to hunt them down too you just don't have to hunt as far (but you have to pay a LOT more). I LIKE the fact that in EQ2 I don't have to spend money on pick axes and fishing rods that break every 2 swings.

truth be told after playing EQ2 I couldn't play FFXI again.. EQ2 fixed everything that I thought was broken with FFXI in regard to my enjoyment of a game without becoming too easy.

I don't understand these posts!

No one wants to hear you spout off like a cry baby about why you hate this or why you hate that.

If you hate the game here is a little suggestion...



DON'T PLAY IT!


Go back to ffxi, im sure you will not be missed.

FFXI was my first MMORPG. It was very different from any other First person or third person game I had played. I figured, "Oh...I guess this is how online games are..."

Wrong! IMO, EQ2 feels like local game that people are used to playing, like quake or unreal or any of those crappy games. The interface is nice and intuitive.

I felt FFXI had too many restrictions. Can't jump off a bridge into the water!! I *really* hate invisible walls that prevent me from exploring areas in the game! EQ2 has some around mountains, but the FFXI invisible clipping walls were very annoying to me.

Anyhow, long story short, I prefer EQ2, though I think the FFXI community is very cool and would have loved to gotten involved if I could have put up with the game and the music, hehe.

penny for my thoughts? I'll give you 2 cents worth ;)
