• • Question for EA store CE preorder buyers

  • Thanks for all the replies guys. It has been 3 full days and no go but I can understand that ordering this late might lead to a slightly longer delay in receiving my codes. Ill just be patient and hold off on freaking out on EA for at least another week. Unless open beta starts before that week is up and i dont have codes yet, then its on!

• • Question for EA store CE preorder buyers

  • How long until you received your Beta code and other pre order codes via email? I noticed after buying it a few days ago that it mentioned nothing about how or when I would receive these things. I had to search through their online help desk to find a post from someone else that got an answer but I would still feel better about it if some one here ordered CE preorder through EA store online and received these codes already. thanks in advance.

    FFXI has the advantage of us both been able to play.

    WoW is new and nope never played it, I had the demo thing but I was ill at the time so only got like 20 mins of it lol

     

    How about partys on WoW ya know exp partys what are they like?

     

    WoW is a solo game. You can duo or group if you want, but its just as fast to quest grind solo. Of course, you can duo grind the quests to be faster, the mobs you kill will net you less xp cause youre grouped.  You only group up in WoW for dungeons to get harder quests done and get gear in them. At end game, you solo grind daily quests for gold and do dungeons for gear or raid. Once at 70, it takes longer to gear up so a group will take you in the few heroic dungeons that still get done, so you will have to grind pvp gear more then likely.

• • Is this game for me?

  • Ive recently returned to ffxi and i have to say I am loving it again.  I started on a fresh acct and while you do have to wait a while for invites, there is quite a bit you can do solo while waiting. you can solo the first few ranks all the way to 2-3 by level 20 (you will need sneak pots and invisible whatever if youre class cant do it) though.  You can do solo quests to get your reputation up in the 3 major cities which will in turn increase your rep in Jueno which is big for later on.  You can level your other jobs to 10 or 11 during US off peak times then go lf a pt at primetime on your main job. Basically theres a lot that you can do while waiting to pt, if you are willing to do it.

    The only thing I will say is the economy is bad for a fresh player just starting out.  you dont pull in nearly as much Gil as you have to put out. PTs will not like it even at lower levels if you show up with no armor and missing spells. If you know someone higher level, join their server and hope they can help you out with some gil.

    Aside from that, the game is very rewarding, unlike some other games where you can just zip to max level solo and get everything handed to you. When you finish a big mission or level, you will feel like you really accomplished something (as much as you can from a video game anyway). I had a high level friend help me get my airship pass Rank 5 and I felt great having finished that this early in the game (only in low 30s). Its a tough but rewarding game and it sounds like that is what youre aiming for. Hope you enjoy it!
