I don't mean to distract from the discussion on the game's security, but I just wanted to add that I've been playing FFXIV as well. I'm only level 25 in my main class, but so far, it's been one of the best MMO's I've ever played. I really like FATEs... it reminds me of playing GW2 (which was also an amazing MMO... but the lack of endgame bored me). There are a number of things I would like to see improved upon, or things added in, but for the game to be (relatively) new, it exceeded my expectations.

Then again, I might just be biased since I grew up playing the games.

I play on Coeurl server if anyone is there... if not, I think Lazie mentioned something about cross-server dungeoning? I actually didn't know you could do that. In any case, the name is Alhuin Grey. I'm not particularly fond of my last name; I used a name generator for Hyurian, and that was the one of the choices. I'll probably purchase a name change if they ever include the service.
