If anyone else here is crack-headed enough to play FFXI like me, I'm on the Odin server with a 19 RDM/9 BLK and would love some company. The game is very much an acquired taste and certainly not for everyone but it does offer an experience that is markedly different from the tired, cliched WoW-clone pattern.
These days, anything that doesn't play like a WoW-clone immediately earns huge points in my book.
When you said "crack-headed", I honestly expected this thread to be about FFXIV instead. :D
I'm not THAT crazy! Thought I might check that out when version 2.0 hits. But for now I'm content to chill out in Vana'diel.
