I'm currently (and have been for the past 16 months) addicted to Eve-Online. You can find me in there as Cowan, in the Firma corporation.

Still like the WW2 shooters though - Medal of Honour, Call of Duty, et al.

[ChrisH]

Day of Defeat is the only game that keeps me interested :P

PS. Was addicted to Eve-online for a while - it was the game I had been waiting for since Frontier! Play Counter-strike, day of defeat and similar at a local LAN.

Thank you.

final fantasy xi. i've been playing since january. it's only about £7 / month and you can get the main game and the 2 expansions off amazon for about £22 total. it's huge. what with updates. it's taking up about 6gb now!

There there are about 11 jobs u can have. you can change between them whenever you like and if you get 1 to level 18 you can have two at once. some of the jobs are advanced ones which you can only get at level 30 and often u need high level help (e.g. lvl75). Anyway the bottom line is that even if you do a job for a bit and decide you'd rather try something else the time spent isnt wasted. you may find you need that job again later. Some jobs go together better than others.

I like the partying mechanics too. Once you get to level 12 or so. experience becomes very slow. the only way round this is to join a party and fight much harder monsters for up to 6 or 7 times the experience.
Joining a party is relatively easy. u just put up a "flag" which makes you appear on a list of people searching for parties. You dont have to beg and you dont have to know loads of people. people pick you, anonymously.
