Same here, heh.
I landed on the, um, Fairy server. A bunch of people from Gaming-Age were getting it so we all formed a LS on that server. It seemed to be the least popular because of all the servers we looked at World Passes on Fairy had the cheapest (cheapest=less populated).
Having a blast so far, but I really gotta upgrade my 8500LE. It\'s finally showing it\'s age. Problem is, I don\'t know what\'s the best deal in the video card market today.

ATI 9600 Pro

I\'ll wait for gamespot to compare it to EQ.
EQ has over 4,000,000 players. How can any MMPORPG even come close to that.
-
Veplerion. Heh. I forgot you posted here too. :p
ViVi... It\'s a FF title. You\'re an FF fan, are you not? Screw the EQ comparisions. ;)
For those of you who eventually get the game and land on the Fairy server, hit me up. I\'m Saist.
-
Hey Saist. :) We should get in a group sometime. Haven\'t been in one in awhile.
Vivi, you should try it out. It\'s a lot of fun. So far I\'m enjoying it more than my EQ days. Being able to play every Job on a single character is great. The game has a lot of beautiful locations. Lot\'s of neat stuff... skill chains, exp chains and whatnot. Actually adds some strategy to the battles. A GREAT system for selling things, too.

the lowdown so far from most is its everquest but waaaay better
-
I just got it, installing now.:bounce:
-
lvl 14 warrior now with whitemage at lvl 4
opened a linkshell as well and we got 15 members
-
level 14 war myself white at 5... IN cerebrus.
-
My copy will be here tomorrow. And yah, I read about half of the GAF 48 page + thread before i was finally convinced that it was fun. I expect nothing less of excellence Nataku. ;)
-
well ryu if you want a world pass let me know - i got some moo lah and can help ya with armor and stuff
-
Thanks Sublime, that means a lot. Though if it\'s all the same, I\'d like to earn my own keep in the world. Not that I don\'t appreciate it, I just feel if I do the work to earn the cash, the experience will be more fun. Would you guys mind posting a list of the worlds you\'re on, your stats, and your POL e-mails and contact information in the game? Would be useful when I call you to say "It\'s Time to slay the dragon!" or some such. ;)
-
Tetrad, Sublimesjg, you guys leveled up pretty fast. :) What extra jobs are you two shooting for?
Ryu, soldiablue@pol.com. I\'m on the Fairy server, in San d\'Oria. lv16 WAR at the moment. And my e-mail is soldiablue@pol.com
... And if you say that, I\'ll kill you. :p

Hume, Warrior
Level 10
Republic of Bastok - Shiva server
4 Missions completed
3 Skills learned
Chronosquall@pol.com -- email
Chronosquall -- handle
Not bad for a day\'s work after installing it, registering, configuring playonline, downloading updates, finding a friend on a particular server, and teaming up with him to earn quick experience. There\'s just so much I need to learn right now that it just seems so overwhelming, but it will all become apparent to me in no time. :)
Update: Played some more today and completed a quest to see Cid. I learned the Warrior skill provoke and a couple of other abilities. I earned about 150 gil thus far by simply fighting enemies and I still have all of the items I found through battle and that\'s definitely quite a few. Even picked up a nice shell shield that I can\'t use for another level and that\'s been a hinderance since I\'ve died a few times already. Boy could I use some white mage abilties. :)
Update 2: Gained two more levels today up to level 8 and acquired a new leather tunic which is a very stylish white as well as a new sword for Level 9 characters I grabbed by completing a quest. I also started fighting for the republic of Bastok and began to collect tons and tons of crystals. Anyways, I\'m now half way to level 9 and can\'t wait to play some more tomorrow. It\'s kind of fun keeping my journal up to date through this. It\'s more fun this way. :)
Update 3: Raised another few levels today and yesterday to get to level 10. Now I have access to scaled armor. I also learned the ins and outs of the Auction House and am super glad I did as my fortune has quintoupled in about a day or two from 1000+ gil to about 5000+. Impressive. Also, partying with two or three people is great fun!
-
heh all my friends are far beyond me i havent had time to paly lately
but im on Seraph Server - Opened up linkshell
and ryu sale your crystals in stacks of 12 at auction house - best way to make money
and i forgot to make a name for my pol mail so its lots of numbers - anyway my handle is "Dameon" you can do a buddy search for me that way
-
After a couple of frustrating events, I decided to give XI a break. I\'m going to start playing again today... I just hope I\'ll be able to find a party. I need to get to level 18. :(
-
Any character updates will be in the post above from now on in regards to my character. I find it far more organized to do it that way. Also, Sublime, you\'ve got messages. :)
-
anyone still playing this, I\'m concidering a MMORPG and wonder if this one has any stayin power?
