I'm hesitant about buying the game, as I have never played an MMORPG before. If somebody has an unused friend pass code, I'd really appreciate it so I can get a 30-day trial. Please let me know...

Although its probably quite late to start playing this game since its release it would be nice to try b4 buy, its �9.99 from play.com (not sure euros).
Been trawling for gues passes for a long time, guess I will just buy it unless anybody wants to help me out ;)

buy it, it's worth it. If you get the pass and then activate, you activate with no expantions, and you want rize of zilart at minimum. Currently 30$ US gets you game and all expansions, or 14EUR, or 20USD gets you all minus ToAU expansion, which you really don't need til 50-60+ anyways, around 9EUR.

I'll probably do that, thanks guys.

Sadly for non UK people PlayUSA doesn't do PC Games yet, but for us they offer the FFXI main game, Chains Of Promathia & Rise Of The Zilart Expansion packs for just �9.99.
I might upgrade to Treasures of Ahy Urhgan later when I know more about the game and if its worth it, but this deal for me seems best as its cheaper than just FFXI alone with no packs that some sites offer like amazon.
