That's one thing I think is too rough about the game - the materials to build a structure are pretty steep. Not to mention the gank risk to even placing them. And that part is fine - but if you take a month or two away from the game, sure, you lose your plot. That's good - land is for active...

I'd challenge 11 hours, lawl. That might as well be days.

They want some sort of gear to be special. To meet that at all, they have to be throttled somehow in how you achieve it. For MMOs, (and I'm stealing this from another poster) - the only currency that matters is time. That's either fight the RNG monster (which can leave you with terrible luck) or...

Heh, people are bitching because they can't chat about playing the game because they can't get in to play! That said, even early-queueing doesn't always work. I had my wife sign me in while I was at work yesterday. I get home, still in queue, but nearing the front. At like 70 people left I...

The non-peak times would stop having stupid queues at least. Prime time would be just as bad though. And with the grace period thing, the arms race will just continue in other ways. "Oh, they kick you when you're afk after 30 minutes? Then run this program. It'll force quit the game at 20...

The arms race ramps up!

For what it's worth, they're *slowly* making more room. Headstart was 6 NA, 4 (I think?) EU. Now they're at 8 NA, 7 EU. They've also expanded server capacity by 20%, then another 10%, then yet another 10%. They're taking the opposite stance of, say, Warhammer Online. They'll both probably end...

If a level 10 is stupid enough to wander into a 30+ zone, yes. At 30, all zones are PVP zones. There opposite faction always shows as red, and you can kill each other without game-mechanic consequences. Same faction requires one person to "go bloodlust", whereby they turn purple, and can then...

Got any daggerspell tips to share? Any combos you recommend? I went super nerd and set my alarm 10 minutes earlier so I could harvest my 8 trees and replant (hopefully I can build my large farm this evening). Even at this odd hour, a level 50 red was ganking people, hah. He killed me twice and...

They're much, much worse this time around, although you see a lot of the same patterns as we saw on FFXIV:ARR: -People AFK'ing -Game company implements kick timer -People macro something to make them not-AFK -People learning how to get around it (FF was stay in your inn or whatever, here...

Very, very short versions of various aspects - of course everyone will have their own opinions, but this seems to be "most generally agreed upon highs/lows": -Open world PVP is awesome -Open naval PVP is even more awesome -Non-instanced housing and farms, and especially illegal farms, gives...

I assume that's with producing things, not gathering? I mined for an hour last night in glitterstone, with a pot, got about 1.25-1.5 levels out of it at early 30s. I didn't have much downtime either. But that's a far cry from 5 levels, either way. I found it fun though.

And when you run out of labor in a hour, log off for the night! Or buy a labor pot, and do it again! Yes, you can level up without questing, but labor is going to be a huge bottleneck, and even then, you can only get so far. You'll have to dump a lot of money on the cash shop, and you'll...

The PRX TeamSpeak was pretty miserable at times over the weekend. Some people kept bitching and bitching. Some of them got dicked over pretty bad with crashing, no patron status, no founders items, etc - they have every right to be pissed. But unless you're going to get a refund, just deal with...

Haha, yeah man, I got stuck playing late the other night when I didn't mean to. Got in a whopping 3.5 hours of sleep before getting up for work on Monday. Aspen is best to grow if you have a life outside of the game currently, and if even when you're in game you do things other than just...

They're a PK guild. From googling around, they got kinda infamous in Sword Art Online (I don't even know what the hell that is). That's funny that there's one on multiple servers now. I don't know if there's any relation to the original, or just new people "carrying on the tradition". If you...

To add a bit - they got the name "illegal farms" because you don't pay taxes on them. From the view of the in-game world, it's illegal to have a farm without paying taxes. It's one of the sandbox-y elements of the game that the game doesn't prevent you from doing it though, and leads to a lot...

Right now all the open world PVP is unbalanced. It's going to be a level 50 picking off level 30s, a level 50 with some of his level 30 friends picking off level 30s, or multiple level 50s picking off level 30s. If you bring your own level 50 friend(s), they run off / die and never return...

Speaking of - why did we open recruitment back up? I thought we were gonna wait until things settled down a bit, given the crazy amount of people we already have.

East - kiddos and kitties.

Geez, how do you have so much gold already? Quest rewards, or selling farming mats on the AH or something? Something else? Also - how do you buy expansion slots for gold? People buying them on the cash shop and listing on the AH?

All the quests will be done already for you. Not until 10 PST. My understanding is that Founder's pack started when head start launched, but maybe the clock only starts ticking when you log in. Did founder's pack give you a code? If that's the case, you could *probably* just wait to apply it...

Well, in theory, our PRX 50s will be there helping people be able to quest, right? Heh

I had a dumb question: can someone standing on a piece of land block it from being placed? The reason I ask is, I want to switch out my small house for my scarecrow farm (provided I even can right now without pissing off PRX, and I'm still saving up lumber), but they're on different...

Oh and - F2P opens today. Most people looking for a WoW style MMO experience will definitely clog up queues again some (although hopefully not as much on the PRX server, where there's zero land and already the worst NA queues), but I still don't see as many of those players sticking around once...

Yeah, the server is packed right now with founder's people, so you'd think they'd know what the hell they're getting into. Apparently not. I believe a lot of people are going to be in for a rude awakening when the 30s hit. I'm looking forward to the system though, because it really enforces...

I wonder if he arranges his pubes into little mini-ponytails.

But seriously, we want to win, to be the best - but more than that, we want a good fight, a good challenge. Straight up honest - I actually share your fear. We had a couple of PK'ers show up in our village the other day. A group of 3 30-somethings against a solo 20-something. A couple of...

You should lead the charge, and form a mighty force to give us the day of reckoning we deserve!

You can skip it if you want. If you want crafted gear, or to make your own boat, etc, you'll need to at least be gathering materials to hand to crafters if nothing else. If you farm a shit ton of gold you might could just buy what you needed. A house is really nice for crafter, but if you don't...

Yeah, our housing situation is both awesome and terrible. We did an amazing job on the land grab, but sorting it out is going to be nasty. I really gotta figure out what I'm doing. I have 4 properties now, and I won't be able to keep the tax certs up on them: -My 2 small farms in YnY are in...

East.

You're forever enemies at this point. Humans/Elves are west and Kitties/Children are east. But you'll be with us in PRX - I definitely recommend reading the PRX forums for some great guides. At this point the land rush is long gone, so really, just start questing and playing, and feel free to...

YOU AND YOUR DAMN MUSHROOM CRUSADE is the reason I'm only 27! Okay, maybe not, heh. But to back up what Slaythe said - I find myself getting distracted from the quest hub grind quite a bit. I enjoy the distraction every 1.5 hours to farm up 'shrooms. I ended up doing a lot of mining last...

Only level 27 here. I'm so far behind!

The big guilds on the most populated servers (aka, Kyrios or however you spell it) won't go anywhere, but there's plenty of small guilds and non-guilded types that haven't poopsocked that much (either because they're not losers like us or just too much queue/error/crashing/etc), that would...

Lawl (I assume you're being sarcastic, what with the LizardSquad attacks only a few weeks ago)

I don't know much myself, just figuring it out. It's not "switch out", but you harvest what you planted last time after its done growing (hover over it, it has a timer telling you how long, every plant has different growing lengths, and grow time and how much you harvest are affected by where...

Obviously the 2000 people actively playing P99 for free is evidence that a AAA studio should totally invest ~5 years of development time to make EQ: Reskinned.

I'm glad I decided to do farm shit in the brief time it was up. Had time to get most of my crops switched out.
