Final Fantasy XI

Well as you will know if you read my comic, I've been slow to update (I hope I made up for that tonight with that big graphical update I did to the site). And there is a reason why! It's not a good reason, but is a reason. I've gotten back into playing my old nemesis...Final Fantasy XI!

I used to dispise the game, my reasons? Two of them...

1. I forked out over £170 on the game, because my BRAND NEW COMPUTER wasn't up to scratch, even then I had to run it on settings so low I couldn't read the names above other players heads, and every time the weather effects kicked in, I was kicked out of the game.

2. I played with Nathan.M...no offence to the guy but that's an unwise move. Within the space of 3 months in the game, he made me jump servers (meaning the deletion of my character each time) at least 4, maybe 5 times.

Anyway, I spent the last year or two hating the game on this basis, until recently when my older bro wanted to get into a commercial MMORPG and was tempted by the darkness that is WoW. I tried to sway him but his eyes caught the pure evil that is Everquest 2. In one last attempt to save his soul from the clutches of Blizzard or Sony, I agreed to play an MMORPG with him, and weened him onto the idea of FFXI (I didn't like it, but I knew it wasn't a bad game). And low and behold, I've been hooked since.

Anyway, after that night story, here is the reason why I've talked about this:

I'm currently a Elven Monk on the Garuda server. My name is Underscore. I know no one other than my brother (A Hume Warrior), and fancy starting a link shell. So, if you play FFXI, and are on the Garuda server, no matter of class, race, or level, get in touch :-) I'm normally somewhere around Bastok.

If you haven't played or heard of FFXI, I encourage you to give it a go. A copy doesn't cost much now and has a 30 day trial :-) if that doesn't sway you, maybe this will
