Grr. Argh.

I swore against playing an MMORPG awhile ago. I tried the monthly fee thing with Simutronics and Gemstone, and I didn't really feel that I could justify $20 a month for it, when it came down to me paying instead of getting it for free with my ISP. I decided it was worth more to just save my money, and buy games I could play /offline/ if I wanted to.

But now...now I am tempted.

Final Fantasy XI. It calls at me. Claws at me. So many people I know having fun. Two clans I've been involved in getting linkshells together. And now my boss has it, and he won't stop talking about how great it is. Plus, I see so many FFTA things tied into it. And I /will/ be building a PC that will be able to play it.

But $50 plus $10 a month??

I just don't know if I want another monthly bill.

But it's so pretty...and I could be a black mage. Or a paladin. Or an archer. Or a ninja. Or a red mage. Or a soldier! And I could make stuff! And hook up with a good linkshell and go to town! Gah.

Damn you, Square-Enix!
