Probably the fact that it's a better game than FFXI. Before you flame me know that I've played both, and my FFXI account WILL NOT rebill on Jan. 6th. Honestly, FFXI was fun until I hit level 10, then it became monotonous to level. I don't mind grouping, but I like soloing mostly, just can't do that in FFXI. In every version of EQ so far, yes, I play all 3 of them, you can solo and feel like you're getting somewhere. The economy in FFXI is screwed up since Japan had the game nearly 2 full years before NA, and they had millions of gil built up so they could basically control the economy. The elitist attitude of *MANY* FFXI players is astounding. People trying to tell you how to play *YOUR* character drive me nuts, and the lack of acceptance if you don't follw the *sheeple* boggles my mind. Basically, I want a game to play my way, at my own pace, without hundreds of people whipping out their e-peen to show how *uber* they are.
