If you want a completely different spin on an MMO, and not your usual killing of dragons with swords and magic, you could always look into EVE. It's a futuristic space based MMO, in the most gigantic game world I've ever seen. That and it's one "server" with up to 45k+ players on at once. Hell it's even "free" after a point since in game money can be used to buy game time.

That said, the learning curve is rough at the start. It'll kick you in the balls, and once you're on the ground it'll kick once more for good measure.

Shouldn't look past free MMOs. It's starting to catch on as a valid path to take. Hook them on the game and they'll spend those monies on expansion packs. You know a developer has faith in what they created when they go free to play from the start, specifically big name devs and games like AoE. Not so much the newbs because they don't have much choice but to go the free route with an unproven franchise. Free no longer necessarily translates to crap.

Play whatever the heck you want. this is an FFXI forum. People come here to talk about FFXI, not other games. Go pick up some F2P game, then never worry about billing again.

(And yes, it is another drama-inducing bluff thread)

I knew what Alhalenem was going to say before I clicked the "show post" button. And for once, and I do mean once, he's right.

It's enough to say--no, sing!-- "We're not gonna take it, noooo, we're not gonna take it!..." but a discussion of other MMOs should not be had here. This is the FFXI main discussion board. I think comparisons to other games can be made, but not, "hey SE, we're not gonna play, and we're taking our money elsewhere, but um... where should I go?"

If the thread can't last, there's little point in making it. If you can make a thread that protests the changes, that they have to stare at every day, that's something else. I can't imagine new threads making any change at this point. They're going to do what they're going to do, based upon what we've already said, iterated, and reiterated. Maybe new or old threads won't do any good at all, and it will take players actually not playing and paying before SE makes satisfactory changes. We do not and cannot know one way or the other. Either way, discussing it can't hurt.

But we don't need threads about what else you should be doing with your own money. Whether it's spending it on another MMO, or on anything else for that matter, has nothing to do with this forum.

Mods? "Fire photon torpedoes."

Wow.

This is stupid.

On topic: You'll come crawling back like a meth addict, once you get your money fixed, this is all you'll want.

Quoted for the truth.

Also:

See ya next month.

See ya next month.

If we can pay in a secure way without anyone trying to rip us off sure, if not I don't think so.

[Alhanelem]

You can already pay in a secure way without someone trying to rip you off.
