Hey Everyone!

[Moth]

I am still having lots of fun in the game. I think it all depends on the person, their level of patience for SE and what they get out of the game. Although there are many haters, I think it is best to give it a shot first and experience it first hand. Of course it helps to have friends in this kind of game, I hear lots of complains about people not having fun because they are mainly solo, but it is not difficult to make friends and join linkshells in this game.

I recommend you buy it. As long as you know in advance that it's an unfinished product in heavy development, I think you'll have a good time. I know I am. Go buy the game, and enjoy it. Besides, now is a good time to try out different characters if you are of those who care about the looks/name/race etc. It's free at the moment, but once they start charging again, it will cost extra for each character you have.

The game lacking epic adventure currently. I would say it's sub-par. Your friend might want to wait until more content is added. As it stands, many players find the game boring and I would not disagree. I am looking to the future when this game will meet/exceed my expectations and I am building my character for then. I have no doubt it will come. In the meantime, I do enjoy socializing with my friends. If you want a hit game right this minute; this game might not be for you.

Seeing how SE does not allow you to download the game you can find it online google is your friend also utorrent

If you have to spend money, then don't. It really isn't worth it right now. Maybe in another 6-12 months.

Now THAT must be a frightening prospect for some.....

I apologize now if this offends anyone by asking or is breaking any forum rules. It is not my intention.

Nah, this site isn't run by those morons that run the TOR forums.

Like some have stated you should get the game if you can but just keep in mind it's pretty much b2p beta. I have fun playing XIV but when it starts getting too much I just take a break since i'm not paying a sub fee anyway. The devs are working hard to improve the game and the major changes are around the corner now.

how are you posting on these forums if you don't have an account...?

All you need is a SE account which doesn't require you to have a FFXIV copy I believe.

Weather you like the game or not totally depends on 3 things exactly! Your gaming style, how forgiving you are and how easily you are pleased.

Then this is defaintly the game for you. Its laid back, very casual friendly (even soloable but that'd be boring ey haha), levelling curve is not OMGIWANNADIE but isnt like WTFIHIT50IN2MINS and of course if you stick to guildleves it beats the traditional "grinding".

The game lacks anything but levelling with the odd worth-it NM but if you're just having some fun you can go kill them all, theres like 30 now (including factions). And 20 of them are mid-range for levels 30-40, which can be easily obtained.

You will hit 20 fairly fast, but the rest is kind of paced out. If you enjoy scenery and realism then you'll be happy hunting.

You will need to be forgiving as there are what is known as "typical features" you'd expect an mmo to have which this game doesnt. If you really want to know them look at every thread haha, or you'll just happen to come across one when you need it, eg: Delivery box.

1 thing I do request is please learn 2 things: Fatigue system (youtube it, but it is getting scrapped) and Search Party system (youtube it) and peeps will love you for understanding search party feature.

Also join a populated world, and start in Uldah if you wanna see a person.
