I am kind of surprised at the amount of hype over Korean MMOs in this thread, and it makes me a little sad. Korean MMOs grab your attention with amazing graphics and excessive animations, this is nothing new. Korean MMOs -always- have terrible gameplay, overly generic stories, non existant customer service, and beyond terrible programming. I'm not trying to defend FFXIV here but... using Korean games as examples of "doing it right" is kind of a stretch. >.>
