I'm turning off my FFXI account for the foreseeable future.

The long and short of it is that a recently released MMORPG made me realize just how inferior the service we get here is.

The core of this game is designed to be inconvenient and the development team has made little to no progress in terms of keeping up with quality of life updates to keep the game appealing.

This is a game I cannot just pick up and play, and that makes it an inferior product.

I thought I'd have more to say, but the simple truth of the matter is that FFXI is a bad game on pretty much every level and it took a good MMORPG coming along for me to realize that.
