Or the long awaited announcement that FFXI will go to free to play.

FFXI was my first mmo but it was completely trash compared to WoW even back in 2004 I can't imagine they fixed it. Maybe its because I played DPS (Monk) but I would spend hours waiting for a party, not for a dungeon or anything special but just to get a bit of exp. I ended up treating it like a job at one point just grinding away doing boring shit just to polish up my stats in the hope that I may possibly get a party.

If I did get a party the combat was boring as fuck. There was a cool ability you could use every 2 hours, there were some abilities that did practically nothing that you could use every 10 seconds, there was an ability that was cool you could use every 2 minutes. Which left you doing absolutely nothing most of the time.

10 minutes into playing the beta for WoW I realized I would never touch FFXI again. I gave away all my shit and gil in the game and cancelled my subscription that night. Literally.
