Seoman!!! YA! Finally someone I know on these boards. So, what're you going to be playing?
Anyway, yeah, I came from FFXI too... though have quit a long while ago. Basically, I've just been killing time by playing random video games (MegaMan Aniversary Collection, Xenosaga, Doom 1&2, MechWarrior 3, etc...)
WoW seems like it's going to be alot of things that FFXI wasn't, which is a good thing. There's been alot of "FFXI VS WoW" threads, but it's basically which style of play you prefer. If you like being in a party at all times, then FFXI is probably your type of game. On the other hand, if you like being able to do things by yourself, having the option to group when you want to, then WoW might be the better fit. It's just all a matter of preference.
