Beta Hookup for FFXI playerFollow

Good afternoon. Last night, I finished downloading the entire beta (6hours) and began playing as a Euridite for 20 minutes.

I have never played EQ before, but have been playing FFXI for close to a year now. I fully plan on reading the entire manual, but I was wondering if there were any good tips/guides for getting into the game that are out yet.

I have grown very weary of the time-sink that FFXI has become and honestly have no desire to even log on anymore. I am going to hop on the open beta for WoW as well, b/c it sounds like it might cater to my busy schedule more.

I am on Beta 2, my char name being Nephthys

I look forward to seeing you all on soon

Sorry for my newbness...what does NDA stand for and I hope that I didn't break it by posting. Someone mentioned that it was lifted...so I am guessing that open chat can begin?

I know it will be a time sink, but the idea that I can solo more often is much more appealling. I never said I was going to buy it, I am just giving it a try. I spend 40-50% of my time waiting on other ppl in FFXI. I loved the early lvls, I still do. Its the upper lvls that required so much itme.

Not sure who the degenerate remakr was meant for, but you can be rated down anyways for providing a crappy answer to what was an introduction and a small request for some information. Way to go buddy...

That's how I feel so far too...I was able to do 10 times more things in EQ2 in the same amount of time.

That might be the nail in the coffin for me. WoW is the same way.

I managed to play FFIX for about 1 month, I didn't really like the combat system...most of the people were super rude to me. So I came back to EQ, haven't regretted it. I do plan to get an all access pass when eq2 comes out, I've enjoyed beta immensley

hey Nephthys, I've seen you on the FFXI forum from time to time..

I'll likely be leaving FFXI as well so I'm interested in your opinion on EQ2 from an FFXI player perspective.
