or even more extreme.. i played games like Lineage II where you leveled from 1-30 like you needed time for lv 65 till lv 70... never heard something like an exp curve? its needless to discuss this before 2.0. hits the live servers..

i cant hear it anymore seriously... FFXI wasnt all in all about good... you camped in one place to kill a mob for 5 mins, then you need to rest for an hour.. in FFXIV you have to move around the camp almost.



and when did you started with FFXI? seriously not on japanese release, eh?
First joined? The release of CoP. It was only for a week or so then real life issues forced me to quit. A year or so later I downloaded it again because even that 1 week stuck in my the back of my mind. I just couldn't get over how interesting and hard that strange world way. I wanted to see what was beyond the dunes. At the top of Ghelsba Outpost...

As for the status of FFXI on it release. Yeah I aware it was a mess much like FFXIV. It at least was showing signs of depth and adventure. I knew even in that single span of days that based on how hard everything was and just how many times I got raped by a wandering Orc that there had to being something AMAZING just around the bend. If only I got stronger and better I could hope to see it.

Right now we got 1-50 in a week, no sense of danger or wonderment, EXP PT? lol wat dat, ~grind grind grind the Vale gentlely cross the stream~ It isn't how successful I rate either game near their beginnings but rather the direction it is heading. Right now it isn't a good one. A hallow hand holding expedition which will mean little in the long run when after all this time is invested I get nothing back in terms of satisfaction because everything was handed to me.
