yea there is not much story to drive the game for me right now i am trying to make level 9 and haveing hell because every time i gain exp i run in to soemthing 2 tiems stronegr than the last and it kills me ... so whats all in this game to play and do beside exp ?

Lol, crafting, assaults, missions, quests, Besieged, Dynamis, Limbus, Sky, Sea, HNM camping, the different and huge variety of jobs to play, thatl take a good few years of your time, you need to EXP high enough to do the later content.

thats the problom i dont play enough to exp easy enough and every time i do i meet uber bunny/sheep/orc/a team of orcs / ... golbin ... you get the idea and it dont matter if i level or not if i gain over 20 exp i run in to them in incase of the orcs and goblins they run in to me its starting to egt annying and cure seems to be useless any more to so

FFXI is a timesink, if you havent the time you EXP in PTs at higher levels for hours, i do not recommend playing it past the free month you get lol.

yea allready thinking that i woldint mind it exect i dont realy have much time becuas eof heath resons i ahve ahd to devote about 3 horus a day working out then i egt on and end up tlaking to a lot of people plus work ... i guss it woldint be to bad if i could get my cell phone to work in my rooma nd who knwos i am dealing with a rela life emss that might push me father in to the game i wold pley the card game mroe expect what i remebr form tera master was i didnty like it so if they ever got triple tried though i would play it for a long time

no idea what you said last but there is alot of stuff to do on the game and if you keep dieing try avoiding the area you keep dieing in, stay a bit closer to the city and run if you get in trouble

The story is incredibly good if you're willing to go for it. It's mostly found in missions (particularly the ones in the expansions, those are awesome. The three main nations also have stories too though)

Also, you mainly EXP in groups. If you're soloing, /check stuffs
