    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    As far as handling content, a couple of thing... 1.) Dungeons will automatically scale you down to the level range (or ilvl) of the dungeon. The only requirement for entering dungeons is that you meet the minimum level (or ilvl) requirements and have completed any prerequisites. 2.) FATEs...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Could it be any bigger than the one Lucas took on my childhood over the last 15 years? Anything that JJ Abrams contributes will be an improvement over the shit sandwich we've been made to endure during those fucking prequels. Fuck.

    Perfectly normal. It will stay an Atma as you complete books and add stats to your weapon. Once you complete all 9 books, you return to the North Shroud, talk to the NPC, and your Atma officially becomes an Animus (with new particle effect).

    People like different games. Plain and simple. Out of all the major MMO releases in the last year though (Wildstar, ESO, & FFXIV), FFXIV is seemingly doing the best. They seem to be actually growing (11/6/13,3/14/14,9/3/14). That tells me that people really do like this game, which should enable...

    That whole dynamic is problematic and unsustainable for the industry.

    EQ Never

    Yet, MMOs based on other strong IPs, like Star Wars and The Elder Scrolls, fall flat on their collective faces? You can try and poke holes in the comparison all you'd like, but in the end FFXIV is a successful and growing subscription based DIKU MMO, making it the perfect comparison. Heck...

    EQ Never

    It's easy to make a claim like that when 99% of all game releases in the MMO space are worthless. Things are never that black and white, though. Take for instance FFXIV:ARR. It is a straight up DIKU game, with a super slow 2.5s GCD timer, a re-release of a total shit game, released just last...

    If you haven't heard from them by Monday, call them at this number (310)-846-0345 and they'll take care of it. I had an account issue when I came back and they resolved it almost instantly.

    I actually play on my PS3 with a controller and use my android tablet as a bluetooth keyboard. You could probably use an android phone just as well. Just download BlueputDroid and you're good to go.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I have a hard time taking that chart (and its numbers) seriously when it has such glaring omissions like FFXIV. I believe Square Enix also makes their revenue data public which should have made it even easier to include than some of the others.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well, you missed the initial launch fun, that was a year ago.I still recommend this game though, as it's the best tab-target MMO out there that isn't WoW. It also apparently runs extremely well on a PS4. Population-wise, I don't think you'll have a problem. A lot of folks have comeback for...

    Really nice to see Zenimax adding the things that should have been in at launch. Good stuff. Clearly hiring all those industry vets to build your MMO really paid off.

    What Square Enix has done with FFXIV is nothing short of a miracle. They seem to bereapingtherewardsfor making one of the riskiest bets in MMO history. They're launching in China later this year and have arobust expansionin the wings. Apparently, they also did agreat jobwith thePS4version and...

    SWTOR

    A couple of things: The expectations on subs was not unrealistic. It's one of the most valuable IPs on the planet. The only reason it's F2P is because of it being, at best, a mediocre game. Saying it was unrealistic is essentially giving Bioware/EA a pass on making a sub-par game. Second, they...

    Guild Wars 2

    This really doesn't make any sense. Just because you don't like it and it's not progressive, doesn't invalidate it as content. Granted the content GW2 adds is grindy, zergy, random and shallow... but it's still content. :P It's usually really pretty through.
