No, I don't want to...
Have you ever heard the word "please"? Sorry, but I would have sent mine to someone else if I still had it.
Is this such an evil thing. YOU MUST PAY NOW ... PAY NOW B i have an itch.

Go thought about 12-16 hours of updating after about 1-2 hours of installing / setting up your account.
Make you character, only ONE is allowed unless you wish to pay $1 more every month (FFXI is $13 a month for 1 char and no tera master). Select your Basic job and starting city.
Grind up to about level 7-10, depending on your character.
Look for a team, which map be hard depending on time and your job. Apperently they have helper NPCs but I'm not sure how well they do.
Getting more specific job such as, ninja, paladin, black knight, etc. requires you to do a quest at lv20.
Grind for many many many hours, FFXI imo has the longest grind to cap, so you can just restart again!
There is crafting which may be quite confusing and difficult at first.... for a while heh.
Again, imo, you need absolutly no life to hit 75 once or twice and to become a decent crafter. My sister's boy friend has 3-4 lv75 jobs and a 120 (not sure, he was maxed out and you can get skill over the cap... or something) woodworker... he had over 200 days his Taru Taru.
FFXI is like busy work really, a few fun events along the way. Oh yeah it would help alot to have friends and a Link Shell (clan/guild) really fast
lol, I second this.
Its really an okay game, if you eveer don't have alot of time((i.e. Enought time to find a group and start fighting)) then its a good alternative.
And about the game itself....its a great game, the story is actually really good((infact out of all the mmos I've played it has the best story yet(and thats ingame story not back story...if it was backstory it would be WoW)))
The game has an artistic graphic style, its fun to play, its got a great crafting system, Housing
, really cool armor in the upper level 30+, they just added chocobo raising and chocobo racing, its got some really cool classes that I've never seen in another mmo((i.e. Puppetteer, corsair, dragoon, and Blue Mage)) Its also got some pretty cool random features too((Like when your riding the ferry between the deserts every once in awhile pirates will attack and you have to fend them off or die.
But the only draw back is the little amount of soloable content, this game is based soley around grouping after level 15+ which while fun can be frustrating after awhile(( You really have to have time to sit down and play if you want to level, if you don't have that time then their are other things to do but level isn't one of them))
And while the leveling does take up a good chunck of your life((i.e. half a year to a year of casual gaming to max a level. I think, its nothing to other games like, Lineage 2(2years of hardcore gaming)Entropia((if you can max your levels on this game you have no life at all)most Korean game
But yes play it, it is a great game, infact its one of my favorite mmos if not the best mmo I've ever played
CHOCOBO RACING!
