Mythic has been doing something with DAoC for a while where when you buy a copy of the game, you get three additional CD keys so you can share your copy with friends and they can start up accounts WITHOUT HAVING TO BUY A BOXED COPY OF THE GAME. The keys activitate their trial, and after it's over they can set up a payment plan and continue playing without having to buy a copy of the game for themselves.

So Squeenix released this:

It's a DVD with FFXI and both expansions. However, the package also comes with a free 30-Day buddy pass that INCLUDES CD keys for both PlayOnline and Final Fantasy XI. You can share the DVD with your friend and once their free trial is over they can continue playing without having to buy a copy of the game for themselves.

Every single MMO on the face of the planet should do this. It's extremely smart.

That collection is hot. Reinstalls are such a bitch for FFXI

Every bone in my body wants to sign up and start playing this game again...

But I won't, because the problems (especially in the endgame) are too much to bother with a second time around. I really hope Square puts out a new MMO within the next couple of years; preferably on the PS3 as well, not just PC.

-_-;
There is so much about FFXI I utterly LOVE, but as long as the XP loss for death exists, I just can't play it anymore.
It's WoW for me now at least. (Which is still pretty f'ng good, and the customizable interface is sweet)

$20 at Fry's this weekend and I picked it up just for that reason.
