This post on Dear Gnome could really be copied word-for-word and reposted here. I wasn't having fun on WoW pre-Cata, and it's so much worse now. I hate this expansion. I really, really do

The FFXI level cap raising is going in stages of 5 levels per update. We're up to 90 now. It'll go to 95 in March and 99 in June, I'd imagine, if they keep the current update schedule.
I'm still 76, because I really just don't feel like level-grinding DRG again. I think it says something that I had most of last week off and couldn't make myself log in for xp at all. I don't know how people who had multiple jobs they wanted to take above 75 did it. (Well, actually, I do, but spending 6+ hours in Abyssea parties is infeasible, and rather unappealing even if I had the time. I need to find short-term ways of xp'ing.)

*nodnods* But all in one expansion, right? Eh, is FFXI still doing expansions or is it just those mini-paid ones now? Will there be another after Goddess?
And I don't blame you at all! XPing is boring. I think it's actually less boring in WoW (since you get it all from questing, not XP parties), but I still refuse to do it. Why do something boring in a game?
Yes, mini-expansions. No talk of one after Goddess...I guess maybe you could combine all the Abyssea content into 1 expansion, but there isn't much story to it

Ack! Good luck with your machine. I don't so much seek a good game (or at least not another MMO), just... something to fill my free time. Cross stitching, basket weaving, kidnapping small children to churn butter for me, anything. A game would be okay, I guess, but I'd rather move back to something like a MU*. Alas, most of them seem gone.
I keep hearing the same reports about FFXI, how easy the XP is now. One of my friends went from BST 35 to 75 in six hours. o.O
There hasn't been a full-on expansion since Wings of the Goddess, and there are no plans for one in the near future. They may be switching over to the $10 mini-expansion plan permanently

So interesting! I think I'd rather have one big expansion than three little ones, though the price is pretty much the same. Thanks for all the info! So interesting to read.
Also, the December update finally closed out the WotG missions. Yes, it took them three years to wrap up the main storyline. The three nations' quests ended in the June update.
I should try out Dominion sometime as an alternate xp method, too.
Oh, did they ever. I still have to do the last set of missions, so I can't speak to the very last part, but I would say that while it's been interesting and had a couple of good twists, it's not been three years' worth of interesting.
