It is not the early 2000s anymore, and I value my limited time on this smoldering wasteland of a planet far more than I did when I was a youngling. I understand complaining about picking up five tufts of bee pollen on a ten percent drop rate makes me sound like a crybaby. I am familiar with the byzantine quest design of MMOs and the absolute time-sinks they were, and still are, to a certain extent. I also have an understanding of how MMORPGs during this time operated. I caught the tail end of AOL's Neverwinter Nights, dabbled in Ultima Online, and wasn't above playing EverQuest or Runescape while Final Fantasy XI was at the "peak" of its popularity. That is until I decided to play Final Fantasy XI this July.Īll of this aside, I want you to know that I am not some " newcomer" to MMORPGs. These experiences permanently soured me on the genre in general, and until recently, I have managed to avoid playing an MMORPG for the better part of ten years. I have experienced watching thousands of hours of my hard work disappear due to a corporate suit flipping a switch. In each case, I have gone through the five stages of grief while watching an MMO I loved die due to poor management or developer disinterest. The handful of MMORPGs I have invested time into are long dead (i.e., City of Heroes and Star Wars Galaxies).
I generally am not a fan of MMORPGs, so I'll just come out and say that. I should have listened to all of you.Īlright, so, let's try to break down my thought process in playing Final Fantasy XI. No one asked for this, and I deeply regret this decision.
I'm so sorry I did you all dirty like this. I applaud your dedication to direct me into playing a " good" Final Fantasy game for once. Sincerely, I appreciate the admiration and support you have shown me over the years. And look, if you are one of those people, I want you to know I love you from the bottom of my heart. Look at it, and understand that every time I start a new Final Fantasy series, I get at least four or five PMs asking when I'm going to cover Final Fantasy XIV. This isn't an apology, i do mean all of it /Rk9DZwDoTu - ⭐ meg ⭐ July 22, 2020
