I'm doneFollow

Well, just as I have said before. I'm officially done with FFXI.

A few of these posts from the WoW forums summarize my reasons for leaving.

Quote:
ffxi just takes too much damn time that it becomes tedious.

wow is easy on my nerves ^^.

And the more I think about it, the more I realize that while this is just my opinion...I'm glad I made the change now. Not everyone is in my Shoes...and FFXI definately caters to a "way of life" that might suit another player just fine. But being newly married, and starting a family...it's nice to have a MMO game that I enjoy, that I can turn off and on as I please...and always enjoy it. I can progress with as little or as much time I put into it. I don't have to worry about strict regiments for earning Exp. I don't have to listen to the griping of Dynamis coordination and Sky/Sea blah blah blah anymore. I don't have to be condemned to the Blm job that earns nothing but a needed presence at end-game events. I can just -enjoy- myself. Blizzard did it right, and they earned themselves another hardcore customer by doing so. And to top it off...I've played all the other Warcraft games and have always been a fan of the lore (like I was with Final Fantasy games)...so it's nice to be familiar with it too.

SE designed FFXI to be party oriented and to be a timesink, I was one of the moron's that bought the CoP expansion only to find that I could not access alot of the zones without doing the missions. Why would I buy an expansion that doesn't allow me to access zones that I paid for right out of the box!! You mean I have to spend another month (if not more) completing these horrible missions and have to have the optimal party setup to boot!!! F-off Square Enix..........

ok ok......... /rant off

WoW>FFXI end of story.





I know this probably angers the **** out of some people, but oh well. I made my decision. Rate me down if y'all want, I simply don't care. I can totally relate to the above quotes.

I'll be back on FFXI to say goodbye to some good friends and give them my WoW info later.

I play FFXI for many reasons

1) I like the challenges. I'm glad the CoP missions are challenging. I want to interact with people to get stuff accomplished. I do admit a little solo play would be nice once in awhile. If I'm on limited time, I craft.

2) I've met some great and wonderful people.

3) WoW would be too easy for me. I've never played it but I have friends that left and came back wanting more FFXI. I trust many many peoples judgement on that.

Best of Luck to you. It's too bad you have to go. You will be missed.

Awwww .... We will miss seeing you around Shiva. All the best to you Taku!

The best thing that ever happened to me was getting into a linkshell I could grow with; be challenged with; continue through the storyline and have lots of planned events to keep me from ever getting bored!

I've made so many great friends here that I can't imagine leaving but understand people who reach the decision for their own reasons.

Maybe you'll give it a try and come 'home again'!

I'm gonna miss you Taku.






Send your gear and spare gil to BARCHIEL. I'll take that funding a lead a movement. A movement that SE will never see coming. A bowel movement, but a movement indeed.

Hva fun in Wow Taku. Sorry to see you go. Just make sure this is what you really want to do before you go and delete your character, would be alot of wasted hard work for you when...err...if you see Wow is not as good as everyone says. ^^

Take care, taku. I don't know why you leaving would anger anything, though. When it's your dime, you gotta go where you enjoy.

Yo, supposedly SE is trying to fix some of the mess ups they made. Don't quit just yet.




But still send that gear and gil to BARCHIEL...
