Here are a bunch of links that will benefit the new, potentially new, and veteran players alike. Hopefully it'll cut down on the never-ending barrage of "Should I buy this game?" threads. I wanted to add more links but I don't wanna clutter it up too much; that's what the "Other Link Compilations" section is for. If it makes any difference, I'll try to up this thread every week until a mod makes it a sticky, provided they even pay attention to this forum.

A most excellent thread.  I think despite playing for three years already I'll be visiting this thread quite often, so making it a sticky would really help and save me bookmarking it :)

Great links... some of those links are a MUST to know.
It's not whether we WIN or LOSE, its that many people DIE in the process!

Nice post.  I don't think it will get rid of the flood though just because its obvious people don't read what posts are available as it is.

 

I gave it 5 stars. :)

Great post and someone should sticky this but you should remove that link to allakhazam, i wouldn't recommend anyone going there and i'll keep the reason to myself. Just know you've been warned.

I feel you, but despite the site's affiliation with RMT, it's still a pretty good database of information. Last year when I couldn't find an item on FFXIclopedia, I could always find it on AK.

Oooh this all sounds very interesting. What's RMT?

My copy has been held up in the post. I hate the local postman. So lazy.

Not just that but they also compromised a lot of peoples WoW accounts by not checking thier adds, and some of them containted keyloggers. I didn't have to worry about adds with them since i had an account, but yanked it soon after finding out about thier carelessness, or was it?

They really should sticky this thread. It has helped me get back into FF11. And i'm sure it will help a lot of new people joining the game as well.

If it won't get stickied....definately bumping this thread.  Probably one of the best compilations that I've seen for FFXI, regardless of forum, or platform.
