For some reason its that time again where my brain seems to think "Why should you pay 15 dollars a month to play a game you hardly get to play with all the crashing and maintinance?!" Well the answer is simple I'm not sure if i should or not. However taking a break from FFXI might be good. GOOD ADVICE FOR PLAYERS!: If it comes to the point where you get so mad at the game that you stand up and yell at your TV/PC then you should take a tiny break....or a long one ..
Thus when you arrive back on the game you find that things have improved and you only have one monster download to do...
Playing a game thats terrible makes this game seem like heaven.
By the way not all of these problems are SE's fault so lay off and go outside for once people ^^
Stay safe!
