I still play because I like helping people out. I really got exhausted from the leveling grind after taking DRK to 53, RDM to 58, only to switch to Paladin and take it to 75. I enjoy helping other obtain the gear they desire. I like fighting the NM's in sky and the Gods even more. I enjoy Dynamis although I really wish it would ofer alittle exp per kill. I like helping with the Paladin AF boots quest, have been soloing that pugil since 63 and have helped about 15 Paladins with it. I love doing fighting the Goldentounged Cuddleberry even though I rarely outrun his {death} casting.
I look to the future and look forward to killing the 3 kings, the big dragns, and seeing the Dynamis lord.
My firends are the biggest reason I stay though, all else in this game is fun, but without them I am not sure how fun anything would be. I see myself playing this game atleast 1 more year if not more.
So what keeps you playing FFXI and how much longer do you think you will be around?

Why do you still play?Follow
I play because my gf says that every time I turn on FFXI, God kills a kitten.
I hate cats.
I hate cats.
I play becouse I have no life and the only social interactions I get are with people online.
cause it makes me feel good knowing that i am the most sexiest person in shiva
i am addicted to it dammit. i cant walk away. i like a lot of jobs and hangin out with friends. Oh ya I am also a Fomor assassin. I cant stop killing them. More subligar whahahahaha
Sophus, at your request to use numbers other than 1 and 5, and to balance the 4 I gave you on Kramer's other post, I gave you a 2 (I have two cats, you kitty-hater!)
I already quit once for several months but came back because of friends, only now most of them have left as well. I mainly play now for the story - quests and missions keep me going, I only level and farm, etc. so that I can hopefully one day complete all the main story-lines. I *MAY* take both BLM and WHM to 75 for some flexibility but doubt I will stick around much after that. Of course, I expect this will take me another year at least, during which time I hope to make some new close friends that may convince me to stick around for the other end-game stuff I have yet to experience.

Nooooooooo. You're not supposed to use the rating system against me! Oh how cruel :(
Part of the reason I still play is that I haven't found a another online game that really catches my attention. Originally FFXI was only going to be a part time thing until True Fantasy Live Online came into play.
Well that never happened since Microsoft decided to can the project.
Now I play because I'm still enjoying opening new areas, completing new quests and having fun with LS Mates.

I play because I like bald hume monks.
I play because one day I hope Uchipu will like blonde taru monks.
Dunno why I'm still playing. I was playing because my boyfriend and friends played, but now... some friends are losing interest in playing, and my boyfriend isn't allowed to play anymore, heh.
i stopped playing and went to wow.... but then i came back for friends... damn friends.. bah!
ps.
wow sucks *** and its way too easy tho the econemy is sweet

Dunno why I still play really.. Been wanting to quit, but always finding myself back at my PS2 like I'll be doing after mowing the lawn and a shower today... Hmmmm, maybe get my WHM sub to 37 finally and take SMN to 75?
We'll see...

{Hmm} Good question...
Guess the only reason I still play is because I'm too lazy to do something else -.-;
But seriously, I just want my DRK to reach lvl 75, and then it will kinda be the end for me.

Law...mithra don't count lol
I always wonder at times why I play most of my true friends are long gone. I have a huge love & hate relationship with the game and almost feel like I have so much invested in time and energy into it but have no clue what I am really doing anymore. I hate xping in pickups, hate seeking parties but I still play. I still enjoy some of the challegnes we face in HOCD the day we win beat Dynamis X will be so sweet. Maybe the update will bring changes that won't suck I see so much potential but the grind is almost depressing.
The COP addition just isn't all that maybe if I reached sea it would be but just doesn't have the same feel as the drive to get to Sky did for me.
My first MMORPG is this one like a first love I guess hard to leave when it gets to be to much dealing with the drama queens in game. I play WOW I find it peaceful that I can solo make gold without issue an attempting insane feats is just fun. Not listening to biatching, moaning and crying can be a good thing.
But I always find myself logging back in FFXI very addictive kindna like my ex-girlfriend I can never seem to get rid of yeah maybe she will change. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

Neo, just because your Moms tells you that does not mean it is true.
i play because i want to take my thf to 75 so i can experiance the end-game joys. i want to yell and jump up and down and spam on my LS "OMG OMG I GOT IT!! I GOT IT!!! I GOT MY THIEFS KNIFE!! TAKE THAT YOU CRAPPY DROP RATE!!"
but i think the main reason i, as well as pretty much all of the FFXI community continue to play this game is because of the friends we have made here
and i, being from a military family, know what is like to move and leave friends behind, and i just am not ready to leave Shiva behind yet.
