That's why I need FFXI. So I can try something new and plus I looooooove FF.

Thanks again for all that info. I'm pretty sure I'll buy it soon now.

One minor question tho, is there a night and day system?
yes there is a night and day system, and if you're in any area besides a town or dungeon it also effects what mobs are out, undead come out at night.

max level is 75, i'm not sure if wow is the same way tho but you can take every job to that level if you want to on a single character.

if you have a credit card already i can tell you what i can do for you... when i had to reget a copy for the codes it came with a buddy pass which will allow you to download the game (minus the expansions) and play for 30 days for free to see if you like it or not..

i already tried to give it to someone but they never could fully use it becuase they didn't have a credit card... if you're intrested shoot me an email and you can test it for yourself.

also, things to do other then leveling... chocobo raising, crafting (synthesis, or making stuff with raw materials) fishing, questing, hunting NMS (notorious monsters) ballista (pvp, but it's not just one on one, it's two teams of people and depending on the type, it has diffrent objectives, but they all end up with you having to fight others) which are just a few..

and if you come to valefor i can help you myself, either with my 48 rdm, or my friends 75 rdm/smn/whm
