lol, i too have been playing final fantasy XI, and i was thinking of coming back to DAoC, i was wondering, i heard merc's suck now, have a lvl 35 thrust saracen merc so if they're worthless i'll stick with FFXI, but dying 5 times in one night isn't very healthy and i need a break, and if you know anything about FFXI bsts can take out 6 even matches in a row, that is power
