    To be fair, we didn’t pay $10 for the latest update. That was free. Unfortunately that means we paid $10 for the silly story lines. I’ll let you know once I complete whether or not that story was worth the $10 or not. I do loves me some FFXI story.

    This first mini expansion didn’t go over so well, and maybe that’s good. If people express their distaste for the lack of content, maybe SE will step it up for the next one. Square is notorious for trying new and crazy things. Sometimes it works (the original Final Fantasy comes to mind) and sometimes it doesn’t (lolBouncer), but they do always try to keep innovating.

    Augments were a pretty big disappointment, but again, I think that’s SE’s development rearing it’s bullish head. I do wish they would have explained the system a little bit better beforehand though. Kinda got everyone’s hopes up for something more epic than it was.

    SE is very lucky to get customer like you, who give them chances again and again for messing things up. But maybe the reason we all give SE chances are they got us addicted to the FF culture, which they succeeded (and is milking us knowing we’ll go after the story).

    For me it’s more on letting SE know that their crap is really crap. One thing I’m sure they look at is statistics. They might not read your emails that you sent from PoL (well maybe not all), but pretty sure they have statistics, such as the amount of account cancelled per month, amount of account who is active this month who did not buy the expansion. If they really did well, then they will make an announcement like 100k copies sold overnight etc..

    So… from my perspective, the $10 wasn’t the issue, but more like showing them that they are giving us poor content via reflecting it on the statistics when they do compile them. It was more like a “Good Stuff” or “Bad Stuff” vote for me.

    I’d like to see the $10 dollar that way. So yea.. when people start writing about it saying its fun and worth then $10 then maybe I’ll go get it as a sign of support. But not going to support if its crap :D even if its $1. =) I’d much rather get another sketch/drawings done =)

    And yea keep me posted lawl

    Nope, story was pretty terrible. The last fight was a blast though. XD If I weren’t so in to the FFXI experience as a whole I’d say pass on this expansion. I can only hope they do better next time. I’ma wait on the next one and see how it is before I jump in. Still, was fun times with friends and I do love that kind of experience. I’m digging my mirke wardecors also. Gotta level my ranger so I can use it proper instead of just modelling it on my nin. XD

    The whole story was really a bust though, I’m pretty dissapointed. It felt forced and wasn’t very fluid with the rest of the story. It wasn’t epic like it should have been despite the awesome battle music. At least I still have WotG. <3 Loves my WotG story.
