"Final Fantasy XI"

Er, you guys know the European release was last Thursday right? I haven't seen a single topic on it in here!

Anyway, I have just spent a week going through hell trying to obtain my advanced job in time for my non-importing friends starting the game... I would like to offer some advice. If you want to become a summoner - pick something else. You need to get an item that is probably one of the rarest drops in the game. I spent 18 hours killing the same monsters in the same location before I got one of these things to drop. It's just not worth it!

When travelling through the ranks I thought the sub-job quest would be the hardest I'd ever do, but ohhhh no....

Thanks, I'll make a note - although it might have been used up by the time I get back online - in about a Month or so.

If you do decide to try it out, or if anyone else reading this wants to join the Seraph server, here's the world pass I bought. Currently has 2 uses remaining.

World: Seraph
Pass: 5735900121

I believe currently all the charging is done through the US, in $ - actually that's an important point - they don't accept Switch (UK only payment method).

In real terms what comes off my account every month is £7.50.

And what's the Monthly charge thereafter? All I've heard is US charges, with UK conversions.

I need to know how much the UK version is charging (if different)

That was certainly the case when I registered, the first 30 days are free.

Damn, sounds like I need to try this out! Do you get a 30-day free trial or anything?

Well I agree to an extent but I've been part of a linkshell for a while, and despite this I've undertaken most of the challenging quests solo. I prefer the feeling of independence to be honest.

I had an offer of a high level escort to get through Ranguemont Pass last night (think Shelob's Lair, lol) but I preferred to buy myself some alchemists potions to make me invisible and silent and try to find my own path through before the effects wore off. Blew every last gil I had, but I feel chuffed I did it without assistance.

Yea it's always best if you can find friends as soon as possible in these sort of games, i remember when i used to play Legend of Mir (yes i know don't start :-D) it was really boring until i found me a couple of friends and then joined a clan. It's much more fun going through dungeons with a load of friends (use them as human shields if anything :-D) chatting away instead of going through the game alone

My friend logged on to my server for the first time last night - I sent him a tell saying I was on my way to Bastok to meet him and if he had any questions, fire away.

Five minutes later I get the message...

"How do I get out of my moghouse?"

LMFAO!!! It's not nice to laugh but still...

It's really weird having an actual friend in the game. Definitely cool though. I just need to find somewhere that it's snowing and I'll be able to join him as a level 1 summoner.

i bought the pc version on monday...found it quite hard to get into at first but some kind people helped me out so i'm getting the hang of it.

i'm now a lvl 6 warrior! woohoo
