Make sure to consider a good server, if you do transfer. I quit back in February but before I did, I moved my characters to Stormrage (super active server) and now that I've resubbed, I regret it. I sit in queue for an hour or more nightly trying to get on (unless I login at 5CST). I was hoping...

Why wouldn't it be the top spot? People don't care enough to not buy the Xbox or pre-order it. Fans will be fans and that will remain proven regardless of any NSA/DRM issues the system has.

You should. I finally got my code(s) this morning. Oddly enough, as soon as I got my 1.0 code, I got a second code from a random beta account I used in hopes to get into the beta.

Forced grouping, there's your community. The idea that you can't do jack shit without 5 other people helping you or a couple higher levels. That type of style, I think, caused "community". I didn't play EQ but I did play FFXI and in FFXI, people knew other players by name either due to their...

I too am finding my gaming interests becoming less and less. It only recently hit me over the past few years, though. I remember hearing about FF14 and being super stoked but now, with release coming soon and the game being a lot better, I just don't care. I only marginally pay attention to the...

Agreed, dailies are awful. This is the first expansion where I hit 90 with one character and left the other 5-6 characters I play around the level 87-88 mark because I couldn't imagine doing dailies for 7 characters in MoP. Barring the magical "5.4" patch (or an expansion), I don't see myself...

I agree. The game is much much better than it's been in a long time and it's only going to get better. Hopefully this dupe shit gets ironed out and they continue to move forward. Patch 1.09 is supposed to be another awesome patch with focus on itemization.

This FFXI OST, lawd, it's incredible. It makes me want to play again. Hell, it really makes me want to run around Whitegate or Jeuno (wherever the kids are hanging out these days), just checking out people in their gear. Fuck, I miss that game and the incredible times I had playing it (along...

I'm hoping it's raid scaling. I think that would be an excellent idea. I also am a huge fan of the ilvl squishing although at this point it may not ever happen. If they capped raids but not gear, that would be pretty neat ie the gear scales up to your level but the raid zone is capped based on a...

I think the crafting is mind-numbingly tedious. What I'd like to see is 'basic' crafting which allows you to skill up and level to make things that you may need like food, arrows, lumber or other basic things but if you want to make 'unique' things, you'd need to have special mats or special...

The beta submit button are broken. Eh, it worked although it said it didn't.

They had 'bonuses' in FFXI the same way. Certain items in your mog house would grant you certain bonuses that were not directly pertinent to your character/class/job but they were still bonuses. Here is a list of the 'moghancements': http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/furn...#Moghancements

^ That's what I was referring to. I thought it was supposed to be mentioned in 5.4...

I thought there were talks about 5.4 possibly having the MOST content ever etc etc? Did I make that up?

I'm still holding out for 5.4 in hopes that it's uber. Anymore about it? Rumors?

I kept seeing the "There will be 27 people killed" but I don't think I saw 27 die. Are we to assume the governor shot 24 of his own people during the drive away from the prison? It certainly didn't seem like he shot more than like 10 people; where were the others? Also, they hyped the episode so...

Agreed! That would be a sweet idea. Also, there are a lot of people upset that it's not a bigger "title" but it looks kind of interesting to me, lol. Either way, I'm sure they're saving the 'good' stuff for Blizzcon and all.

As part of that 'MMO crowd', I'm not sure what I want anymore, lol. There are aspects I like from several games but none are just "OMFG I need to play this!". That feeling may be gone sadly. I'm not even that excited for FF14 even though I'm a "fanboy".

The movements do look rigid a la Rift, imo. Why can't devs just make their characters and environment flow like WoW? I'm not looking to start a WoW v. ESO or anything but the WoW characters, mobs and world seems to be so fluid. It's a tiny thing but it makes a huge impact.

I'm hoping the next couple beta phases show more flavor in them. I feel like they have a great starting point but they're a long way off at the same time. The animations and style look great but the flow seems clunky at times. One thing that I'm having to get used to again is spell casting...

I think SE has a good base with how the game is right now. That being said, I think they're a long way away from capturing a legit player base. My fear is that they've borrowed too much from other games and they won't have a charm to throw in the mix with the game. If it's going to be the...

Supposedly in phase 3 of the beta, all players who bought the game will be able to play (a la open beta) and you'll have your 1.0 account (if applicable) that will carry into the live game (assuming you sub).

FFXI had something similar in it. There were these "Fields of Valor" quests where you had to kill X number of mobs and you got bonus exp for completing it. They have it in FF14 as well in something called "hunting logs" where you get exp bonuses per "section" of the logs then one big bonus exp...

I always think about ways to make MMO leveling better and I just cannot come up with a good idea that makes it truly dynamic/interesting. When I played FFXI, it was just group with 6 people (including yourself) and hope to get the best exp you could over the course of X time (all the while...

I got in early this morning. Have been in 1.0, the game is leaps and bounds better. It's pretty much the only direction they could have taken from 1.0 as it was rock bottom but 2.0 is really good (so far). The character creation alone blew me away coming from FFXI and 1.0; it's an incredible...

I have a few friends that played 1.0 and who have played the alpha for 2.0 and they've stated it's incredibly different. They said alpha was much better than the 1.0 and even ran smoother. I'm hoping it's a success honestly. I played XI and loved it even through the tedium it presented for...

That's where I am. I missed the 'legacy' thing by a month or two but I'm still hoping to get in. I'm itching to play another MMO and I'm over WoW. I've spent so much cash moving to more populated servers to see if I can rekindle my enjoyment for the game but I cannot.

I don't know why they don't adopt the Warhammer (and others I'm sure - Rift) idea of just bringing everybody to the same HP/MP level in pvp. That is seemingly an easy adjustment and it's fair.

I agree. I felt like Warhammer was on the verge of greatness. A lot of MMO's borrowed from it too.

My only guess is they wanted to implement a time sink? None of that sounds sensible in the typical WoW model. Either way, I'm enjoying my monk enough to level it but once I get it to 90, I'm not sure what I'll do or if I'll keep playing. What is the timetable for 5.2?

I agree with the post about 'leveling to play'. It feels like they want to encourage (or force) you to daily grind when you reach 90 and I can't stand that. I've done enough questing to get to 90, and 87/88 on a couple other characters, to not have to ever do a quest again. I know the quests are...

I've been pleased with Obama in terms of his progress with these gun restrictions. It's good to see him approaching it reasonably. It was mentioned a week or two ago that he and Biden would work together to try and limit as much as they could without going too far so to avoid the 2nd amendment...

I'm pretty sure I had that sword for my rogue back in the day. Those dungeons have certainly lost their charm it seems. I love the little stuff like that. For instance in the 'Grim Guzzler', I love how the 'guzzling patrons' are non-elite but the drunken ones are 'elites'. Little things like...

I love the dungeons that are elaborate and feel like a mini zone. I think it adds a little flavor but then again, at this point, it's just about exp exp exp loot, drop group repeat.

Did they change up or reduce the bosses in the new instance? Did they maintain the hidden room?

While that may be true, removing some of the uniqueness a dungeon has is never a good thing in my opinion. They did the same thing for Sunken Temple too. It's now just a means to dungeon quests and XP, nothing more. It reduces group play and such imo.

I didn't realize they did away with the normal one too. That does suck.
