The topic of soloing is discussed often in FFXI forums (usually the topic is, "we should be able to do solo more easily," or "why does every party need a WHM"). The fact remains that FFXI is a group-oriented game. If that's not your thing, you probably won't like it as much as one where you can solo.

That said, I'm definitely not going with WoW simply because the biggest problem I have with MMO's (and a good deal of the online community in general, for that matter) is the 13 - 18 crowd. Sorry to all you mature 13-18 year olds, you are in the minority. Granted, they show up in all MMO's, it seems that, at least in FFXI, you can generally avoid them.

WoW seems much more like the "Diablo II of MMO's" which is really a turn-off for me as far as interest is concerned.

Of course, this entire opinion is coming from someone who's been playing FFXI for about 8 months and is pretty addicted (I came from playing Asheron's Call to FFXI).

Anyway, there's my $0.02
