    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm thinking about rolling a tank or healer, that way I focus on the situation. GDC annoys me playing DPS. I'm used to wow, where the GDC is very short compared to each skills cooldown. Is Glad/Paladin going to be the best tank?

    You could skip everything in phase 2, not sure why they took that out.

    Falling out of love with gaming

    I've always had a direction to go. Yes I am an old fart of 30 now, and my wife and child would benefit if I quit playing games for sure. I've always had a game to play though, from Atari space invaders, pitfall, adventure, then NES Mario, Zelda, Metroid, PC: Wing commander, Tie Fighter...

    Used to be month long lines waiting for the cleric epic on my EQ server.. But yeah , this is the 21st century.. video game programs can allow many more people than one to quest at the same time!

    So I logged in, big improvement from the phase 2 beta! Do we have a linkshell or anything? Graphics are top notch at least. For an MMO anyway

    haha, each dungeon needs a meteor to fly at your character, if you don't move , you die and can't come back in for a day. Just a simple skill check, hell, be like WOW and draw a big red circle on the ground where its going to hit.

    Falling out of love with gaming

    My question is this, is it us that changing? Or is the video game industry starting sucking hardcore? I just finished reading Ready Player One, why don't we have full virtual reality yet damn it!

    How to addict consumers to a real next-generation MMO

    I thinking of that game too! What was the name of it? Paradox or something? You picked a character, there were healers, nukers, and different skills, it was top down and the whole idea was PVP. It was released late 90s for PC. It was really a MOBA before dota for wc3 came out. It was...

    EQ Never

    EQ1 touched on that a little, by not telling anyone how game mechanics worked. Also no proper logging and scripting tools available. Anyone remember buying AGI/DEX rings only to find out later they did almost NOTHING. Crafting items: I think the challenge for most MMOs is to make the...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    P99 seems to keep prices inflated to keep the RMTs going. I actually saw someone try to sell a Donal's BP for 5.5 mill last night. ROFL , pretty sure a donal's BP isn't worth a small economy car IRL. Server is fun for nostalgia, but other then that I'd wait for eqclassic or EQ next.

    EQ Never

    I really enjoy the way EQ made items epic. Only a few things in WoW were like that, and most of them were just random dumb luck eg. Kang the decapitator random world drop. In Everquest, if you had items like FBSS, GEB, SMR, Yak, people recognized those items, and knew you had to invest a lot...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Not like running a server is hard, buy some space on amazon AWS. Then get donations for it guess I say that because I do it for a living. One server would be great, we could have a high population.

    Well, now what?

    The specs for the PS4 looked pretty bad. I'm sad that it isn't pushing closer to PC. Since so many ports are from consoles, they all look bad.
