    Yeah in FF11 you had to sit AFK and sell stuff, just like most asian MMOs.. I remember ragnarok online had a whole class just for selling LOL FFXIV has retainers now thats like a bank/AH pretty cool, you access them via the inn after finishing the story line of the 3 first dungeons

    Servers crash? I was in the queue to login, then I got a message world server down, and it kicked me off and now the NA servers are gone? New problem? haha

    FF12 had some empire vader guys too, with crazy helmet voices too.. so it wasn't their first time.

    Is there a guide out there for what skills you can use as alternatives? I leveled a gladiator for 6 for the 30% melee buff, but you can't use it!

    I took a year of Japanese in college, does that count? haha What SE probably didn't count on was this is the best MMORPG offering at this time, and probably will be until EQNEXT comes out. So potentially they could have the millions of WoW refugees. When I got to play yesterday I had a...

    If the code sucked then they would have issues in Japan as well. Japan hasn't had near the downtime we had in NA/EU. Also they don't have near the people playing so it brings me to conclude its purely hardware related. If I was the Infrastructure Manager for SE right now, I'd be calling up...

    Servers are down for maint until 10:30 PM PST Main quest also unlocks, daily quests, chocobo riding, most of the other stuff you miss at the start. Also at level 10 you can get the other jobs, which if leveled to level 2 can give you secondary skills. Like I run with a cure from a...

    The game will die if it doesn't have end game content, or a decent way to keep players playing. Has NOTHING to do with the launch of the game. I thought you cancelled your pre-order? What are you doing here still?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    the game is decent, and there is NOTHING to play right now. I'm sick of playing dota and crappy indie games.. It will get better, once all these fair weather gamers cancel their accounts. Square is stupid, since they could easily get a few cloud providers to beef up their server load...

    This isn't some little bug or server error. It would have been fixed yesterday. They didn't architect the player load correctly so now they are scrambling to fix it. Worst part is you can't order new hardware/network bandwidth in 3 days. So Tuesday is going to be a cluster f.. I really...

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    I think griefing was the best part for me too. I played a monk, when anyone messed with you, Grand Central Station would deliver some cold justice. I remember trying to break into Plane of Fear and had to do CR for 10 hours straight. Now that was entertainment. Itemization was also...

    Minecraft.. most popular game ever right now, looks like SHIT I believe that graphics are not as important as motion and fluidity in an MMORPG. You can have the greatest graphics engine and art ever.. but if the models move like Luclin models then the game just isn't fun.

    DOTA 2

    What if they put a global cooldown on teleports? Like how TP scrolls slow down when cast at the same time, maybe have it combined with TP scroll cool down too.

    DOTA 2

    Alliance strategy was to push the base. Many focus on hero kills, ganks, and team fights. When all that matters is the base. Even since original Dota, Cow Earthquake + Rock Golem backdoor ftw! I'm glad they proved that, honestly if all that matters is item builds and hero's go play LOL.

    DOTA 2

    What a crazy game, I can't believe they killed both barracks in the split push. Anyway if they do nerf NP it should be to his trees, like how Lycan got his wolf nerfed hard. Make it harder for NP to farm/backdoor with weaker trees.

    at the very least it seems that SoE learned what the uncanny valley is, and stopped trying to make hyper realistic models. EQ Next graphics look like Dota 2 characters lol

    Reveal was terrible, bunch of people who played EQ1, cool story bro, sand painting, some concept art... Sounds almost like GW2 hype, which was all lies.

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    They are really taking the wrong approach. There is a big community out there, from P99 people to members of this board who would love to help create a real EQ Classic game. Personally, I have over 15 years of server experience, I work for global consulting and hardware company. With...

    Nobody wants to see an EQ1 remake. The only reason to play EQ1 would be for nostalgia. EQ1 was a great game, but it was very archaic. Load up P1999, sit and wait for the boat for 20 mins, then think about how great the game is. WoW was a good step forward for MMORPGs, but it went way...

    DOTA 2

    Dota has a big learning curve. You have to memorize every hero skill, item build, and get some map awareness. Get some of those down and you may have more fun.

    they should throw in the skill chains from FFXI. I'd like to see some synergy moves. That way the GCD wouldn't matter as much as working with your team. That was one of the best parts of FFXI

    Roughly drawn maps would be cool. Make it so that the character doesn't appear on it. If they take maps out completely then people will use other means. Internet, a pen and paper, cheat programs.. I agree with the ! points above quest NPCs. Take those out. Sounds like you want an EQ1...

    I'm starting to think the GCD is a good idea. Have you tried a WoW DPS lately? That shits like playing Dance Dance Revolution. Spam the pretty colored buttons over and over. FFXIV has some combos in there, like you hit one move that chains into another.

    Quest 64 was great, you walked through the same tunnel about 100 times, killing the same cookie cutter mobs over and over. Then at the very end you get a wall of text for an ending! Best game ever!

    yeah I was disappointed too, but I had a summer job that paid well, so I bought a PS1 too. Although I still wish Cloud in FF7 had hands, and not huge ulgy blocks.

    Nintendo could have dominated the market, if only they had a cd drive in the N64. Then FF7 would have been on N64, and all the great PSone games.

    I watched more TV, and played more games during EQ days than I ever did in WoW. It took 10 mins to get full mana for crying out loud! Not to mention the week long camps.

    This thread reminds me of the uncle from napoleon dynamite who is stuck in the 80s when he was good at football. EQEMU's are like being ported back to 90s when the world was a better place, pre-9-11, pre war on terror, pre-great recession... ahh yes, if only we could go back to that...
