Are you referring to Final Fantasy� XI Online?
If so, I agree. I recently played a trial version as a guest at the local web2zone� Internet caf� (unfortunately, the free trial reportedly expired on Saturday, March 6, 2004, although users with currently valid accounts can still play).
It was marvelous! I started out as a Tarutaru Red Mage in The Republic of Bastok, but immediately got picked upon by a mean Galka Non-Player Character (NPC), who told me to "go back to where I came from." Apparently, he had thought I had come from The Federation of Windurst, home of the Tarutaru. Fortunately, another NPC (of whose race I'm unsure) told me not to worry about that guy. Then I tried to purchase some armor and weapons, but the first store that I visited only carried Hume and Galkan items. Then I went to the local Mog House in the residential areas. A friendly Moogle explained the Mog House system, and asked me to bring some furniture to make the place look less barren.
Once I wandered outside again, another Player Character (PC) asked me why I had a funny-looking flag next to my name, hovering above my character. I smiled, and explained that I was using a guest account. Unfortunately, then the caf� had to close, so that Player Character and I waved at each other, and I logged out.
Next time, I don't plan to start out in Bastok as a Tarutaru. I want to be a Tarutaru because of the high facility with magic, but would like to be able to equip my character with armor/weapons more easily, so I'll probably start out in Windurst, and then travel to The Grand Duchy of Jeuno, where there are fewer Galka and more Tarutaru than Bastok, after purchasing suitable weapons. I'll probably ask a Mithra Monk to escort me along the way, since traveling all the way there along could be risky. Since the way is not clear, I'll just search the Internet for a suitable map and use it to get there.
I earnestly wish that Square Enix U.S.A. would port this MMORPG to the Mac. In my opinion, there is a day/night difference between the overall quality of this experience and most other MMORPG's.
