Hi, I'm new here, and I feel...very...intemidated.

I came into the FFXI scene kinda late it seems, and I instantly love the game just from looking at it. But, for us that never made it into the beta tests, is there any other way to get to play? If there isn't, please don't flame and say I'm a noob and blah blah blah, cause I know that already. Just don't post anything.

Second, how is the game? Like, do people role play? Or do they just act like they are sitting behind a computer/console? What is there to do in this game? Can Chocobo only be ridden in certain areas? Sorry for asking all the questions, just really hyped about the game.:sweat:

(Also, it's hard to even vist the site, from the ammount of people crammed onto the server, so it might be days till I can reply)

I havent played yet :( but:
1) I think most people dont role play ( as whichever RPG online)
2) Quests , Quests and more Quests (joke LOL )
3)Yes, only certain areas

You can play the beta at igames but you have to pay for it. The PC version should be out by early November so you don't have to wait that long.

Yeah I am one of the lucky ones to pay by the hour to play the beta. So I am ready for the actual game to come out. Other then that it is a great game to play so far.

Well they did have a offer at Alienware that you could buy it but it is hard to move around that site cause theres always people on it buying stuff.
