Well, you're only level 25. Give it some time. You're about to enter the point of the game where it'll either make/break you. Getting to level 25 is a piece of cake if you're up to it. I mean, a friend of mine who played got to level 25 in two or three days (if I remember right) but then it took a month to get to level 30. And it would figure that they'd get banned after I quit (and my chars were erased). I spent months in that game and I only saw the problem get worse and worse and worse. When I left it was so bad that they were farming EVERYTHING to try to squeeze money out of people and monopolize on stuff. I wasn't going to play in that type of world. Besides, the GMs were doing nothing and SE seemingly ignored the thousands of people who were complaining daily. If I had KNOWN for 100% sure that they'd be banned within two months of me quitting, I might have stuck it out. But there was no way to know. I could have stuck it out and watched it get worse to the point of where it was unplayable on that server (Asura). So it was a 50-50 shot and I don't have regrets for quitting when I did. I might look at that other game. I don't know though. I'm still kind of tired of online RPGs right now.

I understand man, but you were pretty much going at it alone. I have friends and actually several Link Shells that I am involved with. So I have help... not to mention one of my friends had a friend that quit and gave him a little over 1.5 million gil! hehe so money isn't too much of an object hehehehe

lol that's so unfair. I had to work hard for my money. I ended up with just over 120,000 gil when I quit (to which I gave to two friends who were staying behind). I can't even imagine how much work it'd be to get to 1 million.

Actually when I get RNG and THF up to 30/15 I can make a whole heap of cash real quick. Just by hunting crawlers hehehe. One of my friends was makeing 50k a day doing that. Well... Not really, but the silk sells for 1k and he could easily find 50 of em but the AH takes a little while to sell, not to mention that you can only have 7 items up for sale at a time heh.

I hate to even consider the possibility of rejoining FFXI, but it's almost too tempting NOT to. Right now SE is selling the game and all current expansions for a mere $20. And I've heard that they've updated/changed/fixed a whole bunch of stuff.
I'm considering it. But I'm not sure if I really want to get back into it.

Well, I gave in. I had to buy a new copy of the game since the when I quit last time a mistake was made and the PlayOnline account was completely shut down (if you didn't know, if the POL account is shut down you have to buy a new copy of the game to get a new one). I'm okay with that though, since I was able to get almost all of the expansions and the original game for $20, which was free for me thanks to a gift card I still had lying around.
So I'm waiting for that to arrive. Once it's here... I'll be playing again.

lol It used to be. I'm going to try to be better about it this time around and only play for a few hours a day (or every other day). That way I don't burn out on the game and don't become a COMPLETE shut-in.
