    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This is a very good point. Money from leves was my biggest income pre ARR. I made over a quarter mill from leves using a coupe of alts just for that purpose. Also leves are great for raising craft/trade skills so you might want a crafting alt. I'm going to be doing cooking on an alt purely...

    As an aside while we are discussing items, here's a shot of lvl 15 green and pink items side by side to compare stats. Both are lvl 15 (and actually dropped in the same dungeon). Note that the bonus stats are the same, just that the pink has one additional stat.

    Logged into one of my legacy characters today to check out some of the new crafting recipes. Took some screenies in case anyone finds it of interest. I have/had all trade skills at 40 plus if anyone has any questions. Not sure what is/isn't obvious about them to people who didn't play 1.0. As an...

    On the bright side there are no queues. I'm in the same boat btw. Can only see it getting worse on Gilgamesh as half the internet playing there bring in their mouth breathing friends to play.

    Need a guild invite on Flight Fleetfoot. Enjoying it so far. Will be dropping the other games I;ve been playing and concentrating on this. Some of the cut scenes are a bit of a pita though - and a taste of fedor about them (it's a trap) :

    lvl 14 here and no guildleve un,lock, so an answer to this would be huge. Is it lvl 15 for this ? Oh and went out for three hours to watch football and no boot. Bad call.

    In P4 but using an existing account with no early access. Does that mean I can't play from 20-27th ? Is it possible to buy a copy now and apply a code to that account to allow play from 20-27th ?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    People staying logged in when not playing was a major issue in original FFXIV and not just for login queues (caused lag, server issues etc). If it hasn't been sorted Gilgamesh will be a terrible choice. I'm 50/50 on joining the Rerolled guild (because I'm on EU times) so my opinion isn't as...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I actually said it was fun. The point is for the vast majority of people it's more like a Facebook game - in terms of the sense of achievement and pulling your weight in parties - than a traditional MMORPG. Again, for the masses not necessarily a bad thing. I just think they've taken that too...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Numbers add up fine. You're assuming I was playing one character at a time. My first 90 I leveled solo, then used it to boost others. Also had RaF bonus for some of them. The significant point here isn't exactly how many hours I played a week it's that I did everything I said in the 7...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    No. Max about six hours a day, 4-5 days a week. It's just that quick and easy to do anything in WoW these days apart from dailies. Quite stupid. They remove the time consuming factor from everything, then make the end game extremely tedious limited dailies to grind rep. Have you tried leveling...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I've been playing the last 7 weeks after not playing for more than a month since vanilla. In that 7 weeks I've raised eleven characters to max level - one of every class - (one was 85 most of the others from lvl 1), formed a guild 6 weeks ago and got it to lvl 20 with only me in it, earned...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Speaking purely from the game pre-revamp, but don't think it will have changed drastically. 1. It takes as long (usually longer) to level crafting classes in FFXIV as it does to level an adventuring class. Square see Crafting as a vocation/class in itself not a side venture. 2. You need...

    Sure I remember Scott saying when he joined Trion that his major reason for accepting the job was the MMO after Rift and to judge him on that ???? Whatever happened to that.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    When I buy a Blu Ray / DvD and the first 10 minutes, which can't be skipped, is adverts about how shit pirated movies are and how it's illegal to pirate and how you're a very naughty boy and going to jail if you do. The next 10 minutes is adverts for other movies. Cut the crap and let me get...

    The thing is the problems - along with the drop in subs - is down to the game reaching critical mass. Sub drops are accelerating. The game is too easy now even for the mouth breathers. I've been back playing a month and in the next week I'll have got one of every class to max level (only one...

    I've been playing for the last month or so and what was one of the oldest/original and busiest European servers (Terenas) is dead. Out of my guild of varying 50-100 members only two have been online. The AH is dead, zones are only busy with cross server people, even the MoP zones (which don't...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I could be wrong about this because my years in FFXI were on and off, but I think the abundance of classes changed over time - Dragoons was due to them being the most viable soloers at end game for a while for example. I don't think it will be as big an issue in FFXIV.

    Yeah did the same one yesterday. Need five troll Witch Doctors at the base of the steps up and there are only 3 or 4 spawn spots. Was a half dozen folks running around trying to gank them. Was like a server launch - stupid decision.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is exactly what it is, in effect. Been leveling alts 1-80 for last few days after doing the 85-90 thing. Most quest areas are a pain - people from various other servers hanging around waiting for mobs to spawn . No fun at all.

    Agree. Finally installed my copy of MoP this last week. Was ready for heroics at just into lvl 88 from queing for random regular dungeons and ready for raiding within a day of hitting 90 from random heroics. Dungeon runs now are like 5-10 minutes. Was ready for LFR at 90 4 days after starting...
