This is why this game sucks

During the beta for Final Fantasy XI, we felt the exquisite new pleasures that had been designed by SquareSoft. Yes, it's pretty much an MMORPG, no, aside from fantastic art direction there isn't all that much to distinguish it, but as I said in a related post I play these games basically as a way to hang out. Once I learned that

- your starting server is completely random,

- that people must earn money in game to bring friends to their server by buying a World Pass,

- that the amount of money you need to earn depends on how populated your server is,

- that they aren't opening any new servers for the US launch which will inflate the price across the board,

- and that even once you do get a World Pass from a friend it doesn't let you bring an existing character, you have to create a new one who won't be of comparable level to the person that brought you over there in the first fucking place,

- the whole thing is stupid and I'm not their accountant, they can come up with some other way to load balance their servers if we're going to pay thirteen dollars a month for the privilege of frustration.
