IMO, this is the true MMORPG
Learning curve is extremely high, this is a very chellenging game. Tons of stuff to do in-game, large varity of unique jobs to play as. Very interesting storyline with stunning cutscenes. The reason why I say is the true MMORPG is because you will loose your real live to that game, is that addictive. I`ve been playing for almost 3 years now since the US version was released and still playing. I guess the life span of this game is also very long since squeare enix will be releasing another new expansion to the game with more new area, mission, storyline, jobs and abilities, is going to be amazing. I highly recomment this game if you are a serious MMORPG gamer.

Good if you have tons of hour to burn.
I recived mine some times ago, works great on my English(US) WindowsXP. This game is awesome, althought it require a lot of your time.
