    This reminds of a 90's Nintendo-esque ad. Whatever.... It's dumb but at least the game is fun.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    This is just business. No different when a contractor bids a job and gets it. He probably has 20 good men on the payroll all the time but then calls up 30-50 more due to the size of the job. Once the job is over and everything is under control or there is nothing in the foreseeable future, he...

    Wow... real noobs. So no MMO experience or understanding of concepts at all? This could be 1999 all over again. At least there are no trains haha. I think noobs create community though. It helps you to learn the good from the bad. Noobs are not only the inexperienced also, it could be they...

    It is amazing how much that adds to the game. It adds a lot for me anyway... something we take for granted.

    This.. I enjoyed the game initially with little expectations but don't judge the game until 15. I think at 10 it begins changing... I haven't made it that far on my new toon but throughout beta I thought this.. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you are wavering early game.

    Had a great time last night after finally rolling on Marlboro. I had a great time all throughout beta so no surprise there. I think I just enjoy the type of game. Maybe I'll grow tired of it quicker than I think but it is refreshing. I like the questing, the community, crafting was even...

    Just made a character on Marlboro.. It's been going up and down it seems in regards to character creation. Muligan Jurai - Conjurer (White Mage)

    Couldn't log on Gilgamesh so trying to make a toon on Marlboro. No luck yet but on a brighter note, my guy looks just like my Dark Elf of all those years on EQ1 and EQ2.

    Everyone rolling on Marlboro? Trying Gilgamesh shortly. Finally getting work lined out to where I can play this week and I get a 3 day weekend!

    I'm not entirely sure what everyone is doing.. there's a Coeurl, Marlboro, and I started with many other on Gilgamesh. I cannot tell you where everyone has landed. I'm going to make my decision tonight based on where I can get it.

    Thinking of also moving to Marlboro server. I've had pretty good luck until Sunday and I just couldn't play. I know it will all probably settle down and Gilgamesh will be fine but I really want to learn the game if nothing else. It's hard when you get on a roll, have to take a break, and then...

    I'm cool they are trying to maximize population and attempting to ensure they don't open a bunch of servers that will be ghost towns that will just have to wait for consolidation but not having a queue is stupid. I don't care if i'm the 2017th person in line, I can at least go do something and...

    What's odd though is I get a queue time to time. What's the deal with that??

    Rift had one of the best betas of all-time in terms of everything "working" but it took days to get into game (unless you broke down and changed servers). I don't think i've played a MMO that did not have similar issues. This is exactly why I didn't mind so much that my family and I were...

    Yeah.. I always sat around somewhere when I had to step away. Sure beats trying to get back into the game. Doesn't rest exp build when in game and you are sitting around (downtime)?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It's not that bad and honestly, I don't know how people are having issues. The large scale issues with the two error codes have been resolved. The server being locked is just typical on a MMO when a large group of friends/guildmates are trying to get on a popular server. It was like this on...

    I can speak toward GMG and Amazon (I believe)... 1. Once you receive your code from your vendor it will have a site for you to put in your vendor code to receive the second code. 2. **Here's where I became frustrated** If the vendor code site is down it will give you 1 of at least 3-4...

    Yeah... couldn't believe how bad EQ2 was this last little run. I wanted to like it and I loved it at one time but if you want what EQ2 could/should offer FFXIV is everything MMO's in the last fews year should have been.

    Did GMG email anyone there codes for Early Access/Live? I received something when I ordered at Open Beta but it did not look like a Square-Enix code. Hopefully I can leave work at a decent time and look it over. Edit: Nevermind.. found it! It was towards the bottom of my invoice. Similar...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    All the error talk worries me as I did not get a single error throughout the entire open beta (I did get a queue couple of times). I have a feeling this means my early access is going to be horrendous. I still haven't received anything from GMG but I did notice some information in my account...

    Sometimes I feel like we are villagers on Monty Python trying to burn the witch except their logic may be better. jk. Anyway, i've kept away from the thread due to the feeling that we don't know enough and everything may change in a whim but it's getting time for another presentation today...

    Yeah.. had a blast and I really wasn't expecting to honestly. I thought I would walk away thinking that's a solid game and it would be enjoyable but nothing I would want to play every chance I had. I found myself trying to play every free moment I had, I was hooked. I really was busy this...

    As much as I loved Riff initially, I couldn't play for 2-3 days haha because of all the pre-launch server claims. And we ( most of the main PvP guilds) worked diligently at trying to divide up and making things smooth. I just said today this open beta and what I feel will be their launch...

    Should be no problem. I've been very limited on time to work starting our new year this month but once I get rolling, I'll send money your way when we get into live. Loving this game as it's the MMO I wanted 5-6 years ago. It's everything that EQ2, WoW, and Rift wasn't for me. Not downing...

    Wow.... rain, night time in MMO's again? Can't believe I missed these things. FF14 really did well capturing a lot of the environment I've missed.

    Thinking about going to bed and getting up early and seeing if I can get on. Looks like they are going to try to balance out the populations tonight in hopes of a better tomorrow. Hopefully, see everyone in game in the morning.

    for $22.00 and comparing it to any other option available in the genre at this time, then I would say yes. As others have said, it does have an old-school vibe with beautiful landscapes and music. If nothing else, its something to escape to. Other than that, I really can't comment. The...

    Looking like LoL for me until it opens up. Been looking at it awhile but it kinda feels good to be in something like this... Probably since Rift.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Finally home but waiting... It's no prob though. Not going to bed tonight. Been awhile since I've been this psych'd about a MMO. I think I could sit and listen to the music all night though.
  35. Muligan

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This.... Exactly what I have been saying through beta. I think it's the best (closest) MMO to what we enjoy. The music is awesome if nothing else for sure.

    How many servers do they have up at the moment? They releasing any other upon release? Just trying to get an idea of the size of the player base. Have the mentioned how many each server holds? Again, hate being at work when it comes to wanting to browse around for random stuff.

    My only hope is that its a setup for the world changing/expanding or an expansion or something. I'm hoping that all the evil deities come back with a bunch of followers (people who choose to follow them) and creates some cool rally calls and maybe some pvp opportunities. I think they could...

    Try Firefox? I had the same issue on safari at work. Switched over to Firefox and went flawless. They making a Mac version btw? If so, I can play at work on 10 gig fiber haha. If not, looks like I'll be spinning up a VM. May do that anyway..
