Why is this guy bashing FFXI and liking EverQuest?

http://gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/review/R63252.html

I hate EverQuest fanboys, they keep on nagging about the Multiplayer aspect of the game(while collecting cr*p and leveling up for no reason) and completely forget about other great RPGs that are out there because they lack sleep for several days, maybe 7, 3, or 21; I don't know but I know that they don't even think about RPGs even having a plot to follow.

It's gamefaqs. Alot of reviewers there are either fanboys or stupid morons who bash games for half-wit reasons and almost endlessly compare it to games they loved. You would not believe the amount of people who compare Legend of Dragoon to Final Fantasy 7 and say legend of dragoon sucks.

Well, he shouldn't bash XI because it has a reason to level up, and to collect stuff.
there is a story line ^_^

Neko^^

Everquest doesn't feel like a game after awhile. I was playing it and I was around lvl 47...there are a total of 65 levels. I just began to wonder...whats the point? $10 a month and i'm not having fun anymore. So I sold my account for $65.

Nark had a lvl 60 warrior with the best (at the time) weapons in the game. And he just cancelled his account. He coulda sold it on Ebay for ****ing $400!

Agreed(that seems to be the no.1 weakness that everquest possesses) but I decided to see the reviews on gamefaqs because some of my friends are EverQuest fanboys that don't go to gamefaqs but ramble on and on about how great everquest is and how after they play everquest, they say every other RPG out there is cr*p.

And yes, the point when it doesn't feel like a game anymore is when it starts to become your real life and since real life in both worlds soon becomes boring and tedious(through the leveling up and all that), that's when you stop playing everquest and sell or even quit your subscrition.

Agreed too Rattan. a friend of mine's dad was hooked on everquest until last month and stopped because he got bored and I think he sold (Or cancelled) his account. I only saw him play once about 3 or 4 months ago and he was in like level 55-59 range or so.

Gameplay

Your standard hunt and kill situations. Nothing groundbreaking

Wait... whats Everquest then?

Yeah, the people at GameFAQs are morons.

When it becomes your life, thats when you have a problem. They ****ing get married in game. Hell my guild had people marry in game...then follow up by marrying for real.

The game REQUIRES hours of your time to play. To get the ultimate cleric weapon, you need to camp the spawn for several DAYS. Why days? Cuz the weapon is nicknamed the rez stick. Click it and rez a person back with all his exp. Infinite usage. so every person wants it. And its a ***** to get. Cuz the guy that spawns doesn't always have the ****ing items needed for getting the ****ing weapon.

^There are more dumb people there than there are smart people there, but those are the reviewers.

[PK FIRE!]

does FFXI require Online play? Cuase I'm almost considring buying it for PC but I think that paying for online play is BS.

Well then go for an online game that doesn't have you pay cuz FF11 isn't for you.
