I'm seeing a lot of these answers... Why aren't you people playing Hellgate: London?FFXI was my first and probably last MMO, unless they made Diablo III.Its kinda depressing. Its made by the same guys (the entire dev team from Diablo II left and made Flagship Studios, which designed HG:L) and has most of the same elements of the Diablo series (Prefixes and Suffixes on items of varying power, customizable talent trees, varied and powerful classes, Unique / Rare / Legendary mobs, randomly generated levels, a rather dark scheme to the game... It got a lot of shit from many people, but at the same time, it was FSS's first venture as a private company.
If you get into it its a lot of fun, unfortunately atm its more of a singleplayer game as so few people play it you don't run into the same people a lot. I'd love to get a guild going on it, but alas..
Honestly, though, if you liked Diablo 2 and are waiting for a new one for a new MMO, go try Hellgate: London. You'd all be playing it if they attached Diablo 3 on thereI guess the saying that SE just puts 'Final Fantasy' on things to sell it, as something like FFXI probably wouldn't have been as successful if it had some other name.
On that topic, Lost Odyssey looks cool..
