I apped, since they force you to have a final fantasy website I chose the offline FF title and put in TFF's URL.

I expect to be sued. xD

Seriously though, I enjoy betas, they generally let me know if I want to play the game or not. If I'd had the money and Icecrown Citadel wasn't only a few months away (currently here) I'd have bought Aion after playing the beta.

I'm rather excited about this title, so long as they make it a bit more user friendly, intuitive, and less emphasis on forced grouping.

The worst part about FFXI was the amount of time I had to spend on 3rd party websites reading about the game. Crafting recipes, etc.
