If they did it they'd probably have to do valkurm dunes just because the hell everyone experienced there.

If I were to continue the trend of naming off favorite zones I would say carpenter's landing.

Sorry to double post but i found this funny. below is what mmo site has to say. (theyre talking about the xbox version of the game and admit that the pc version is 7 on top best mmos lol)

* Preposterously long installation period, plus layers of unnecessary inconvenience (i did not know that this was relative to gameplay)

* Virtually nothing done to enhance the experience for the Xbox 360 (it's the same game dude)

* Slowly paced action and exploration caters almost exclusively to the hardcore (now im convinced mmosite doesn't know what an mmo is)

* Tough-to-swallow monthly fees required (12.95 is tough to swallow? How do you afford WoW which btw got great reviews from the same site, and again... do you know what an mmo is)

* Not a single unlockable achievement, unlike every other 360 game. (simply untrue lol the troll is strong in this site)

So there you have it in a a nutshell, mmosite and their affiliated critics are no more mmo gamers than they are credible writers rofl.

It's strange i don't see FFXI in any of these top 10 MMO of all time.... I fail to see where you saw FFXI as one of the best MMO? Did the website name have FFXI or FFXI FAN in it?


On the other hand, i did find FFXI on the top WORST mmo of all time.

Maybe it is you who should browse the web more often and by that i mean other then FFXI fan sites.

lol i typed in top MMORPGs of all time into google, the first link http://www.the-top-tens.com/lists/to...orpg-games.asp Has FFXI at #5

hey look....another: http://mmorpg-service-review.toptenr...t-mmorpgs.html

lol that was just a quick google (a lot of free mmorpg crap poped in after that.

Also the games meta critic is pretty high http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/final-fantasy-xi (85 of 100)

it kept steady 100k+ numbers for what 9 years now and is barely slowing down. Other then WoW, there are VERY few MMOs that not only last that long (like not going F2P or stay online in general) but keep even a halfway respectable amount of subs. Was a Niche game?..sure, but MMOs ALL were pre-WoW. Its also an MMO that actually worked across multiple consoles, truely the first of its kind.

Touché.

Was kind of dumb you had to talk to the title bard to unlock them. Not surprised he didn't know about it.

I'd like to see an area like Sky or Sea, a far away area you only have access to if you make it far enough in X storyline.

research isn't necessarily supposed to be easy but it's part of your job. Sorry but he lost credibility to me. If hes not willing to put forth the appropriate research then it's clear to me that he was just trying to draft something up right quick before clocking out. I need a critic that pours himself into his work otherwise why should i value your subjective input over mine?

The dunes.
