How was FFXI not a success? Still running hard after nine years on the market and SE is STILL consistently banking off of it. Granted it has had to be casualized late in the game to cope with the modern day baby gamers - but it's still a complete success.

To the comment about Rift having VO's? Maybe Trion should have spent less time and money on VO production and more on a decent MMO. At least SE is spending the investment/time into rebuilding their failure from the ground up instead of spending it on retarded ideas.
