Hey everyone, I'm new to the community so before I ask anything I'd like to say that I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan, and I'm really looking forward to getting started on this game, which leads us to my question.
I've read everything there is to read about this game, I've gathered all the information about it I could and I've been wanting to start playing this game since it first came out, due to an unfortunate series of events I only recently got that chance. I have played some MMORPG's like WoW and Guild Wars although I ended up leaving the first mainly due to a crappy community (IMO). I wanted to ask this question here to avoid the usual WoW trolls trashing this game (as they do with every other MMO, no offense to any current WoW players here). So, what I really would like to know is this, FFXI has been out since 2003, that's a long time for an MMO, and I wanted to know if there's still room for another newbie in this game, it's just that if I'm going to pay monthly fees I would like to know that I won't be spending 90% of my playtime in empty areas. How many people still play this game approximately, I heard the playerbase has remained the same since the game came out, which I think is good, it's just that I like playing with a lot of players.
So, that's basicly it for now, is it ok for me to join? Have lots of people quit the game, does it have regular new content updates to keep it fresh and appealing? Did most people do everything there is to do in the game or like I asked, there's always something new to do. I'm buying the 360 version of the game so it should come with all the expansion packs, oh and, from what I've seen reading these forums this game seems to have an amazing community, do most players have a nice attitude towards new players?
I'm sorry for all these questions but if any of you could answer them it'd be a big help. Anyways, I'll hopefully begin posting more often on the forums when I buy the game, so, see you all around.
