    I feel like such an elitist asshole, but I refuse to play any hand me down MMORPGs that come out a year or more after the original release of the game. As awesome as BD looks, the fact that Korean devs normally don't give a single fuck about releasing to westerners in a timely manner turns me...

    I should NOT have played ultra-modded Skyrim. Now everything looks like dogshit in comparison.

    Little bit about the RAF rewards. Neither the recruiter, nor the recruit get any rewards until after the recruited individual has actually paid for at least a month of game time. So if you're still on your free trial, you won't actually get anything until your card is charged. They won't charge...

    I should be excited for this, but my free trial ends in 4 days. I think I got my 60 days worth out of this game. I couldn't even stay logged in for more than 30 minutes the other night. I guess it serves me right for playing so much over those two months.

    I flat out refuse to play most sub fee games unless they are simply amazing, and I have no other options at the moment. It's also a large reason why I'm considering quitting ffxiv. I'm having an alright time, but do I want to pay 15 bucks a month to log on once a week and do ST once and cap my...

    This combat is starting to get old. I rate it a 3.5 on a scale of 1 to Action Combat.

    I never realized how awesome seamless worlds were until I played this game. Every zone feels like a disjointed instance. No zone feels like it has any connection to the others, and I am confused about where exactly the pieces fit in the puzzle that is the world map.

    This game is really good at dragging me along. Grinding for PvP gear, and doing my atma books to get my animus right now. Having a good time almost 2 months into it.

    Beat levi ex with a PF group. We wiped a few times, but it was pretty fun, not going to lie. I still need to clear T5, but at least I have the mechanics down to a science up to the last phase. There's always one or two people who have no clue what they're doing, and it always ends up ruining my...

    T5 with a duty finder PUG? No thanks. What the hell. T1-4 were complete facerolls, then this. My FC has 12 people on at prime time and the only thing they do is talk about chocobo coloring and planting shit. There has been only one T5 group up in party finder all day, and I joined... They died...

    Gilg is not the highest pop server. Also, I have never felt like the game is a ghost town. I play on Fairy(sp?) and groups of people are always doing hunts and fates in every zone I've been in, sometimes it gets so bad I can barely get any contribution because things die so quick.

    Got scholar to 50, then got the summoner stuff for level 50, got black mage to 50, then white mage to 50. Just finished getting blm, sch, and whm relic and all lvl 90 gear with a couple 100s in there. Now I'm leveling my mrd, so I can have a tank class. Also have 31 bard, 20 lancer, 16 pugilist...

    I'm still not sure what to think about no levels. I mean, leveling up is a great way to give players a sense of steady progression. So now instead of killing things for exp and loot you're only killing things for the loot? I guess I'm having a hard time envisioning it because I've never played...

    Got to 50 on my arcanist, 47 black mage, 31 bard, and 31 white mage. The game is pretty good invisible walls and cutscenes aside. Also all water is ankle high, oh well.

    I'm having a great time so far with this game. Leveled my Archer to 18 today in one sitting before the servers went down for maintenance. I'm impressed with how solid the game feels, and while the combat isn't anything fancy, it still feels good. I really love the fact that I can be any class in...

    Is it too late to pick this up, or would a total beginner like me with no friends be able to get into the game? Is soloing rough?

    It takes a lot more than some random bitch boy on the Internet to hurt my feelings.

    Of course nothing is wrong with it. Just like some people can be too engrossed in hating on a game, others can be too much into trying to shut down all forms of criticism, and I just find that to be funny. Oh, and if anyone needs any guest passes I have 3 of them that I forgot about.

    I guess every critical comment is a "bitch fest" to you? Every comment of praise must be "productive" talk? There are two sides to every discussion, or it isn't a discussion, it's a pointless circle jerk of praise.

    Basically your friends make the game fun, because the game is not fun otherwise. I had plenty of fun in plenty of MMORPGs without having my friends tied to my waist. It's possible.

    Yes, I'm making that up, because clearly I have an agenda. It seems we had different experiences. That's not entirely unheard of in MMORPGS. I don't have any screenshots to back it up, so you can choose whether you believe my statement or not. This is my experience with both exile and dominion...

    Number one complaint I heard in low level zone chats. "Why are there so few people here? This is a high pop server." "I don't see anyone to quest with, where is everyone?" Etc, etc. The entire first few levels felt like a single player game to me. Not just any single player game, but a...

    I also enjoyed the GW2 leveling system. I ended up with multiple max level characters within a very short time frame, and I enjoyed it for the most part. Also, the world felt much more alive than in WS. As a mostly solo leveler, I never really felt like I was playing a single player game unless...

    I think this game is making a lot of us question just exactly what it is that we're looking for in MMORPGs these days. It's pretty obvious by a lot of previous posts that many people have the same concern. There is a lot of charm in this game, and it has a lot of potential. You can tell that the...

    Well, to be fair, I'm not shocked at all. It was exactly what I expected, and I had a decent time to be honest. I just had to double check. MMORPGs with actual potential don't come around very often. It had the weirdest side effect on me though. I started craving WoW again, and I haven't...

Anyway, I think if people are not enjoying the lower levels of the game, the devs of...
