    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I'm mainly referring to the sub 50 content, and the advantage being you don't need to know the dungeons for the most part. Just follow the tank, and learn how to play your class as you go. Obviously, healer is a good option for this as well, but for myself, I prefer playing DPS over healer...

    If I remember correctly, you have about 109 more quests to fully complete ARR and start Heavensward. What this is, is the content they released in patches AFTER ARR came out. So, you officially beat ARR. Now you are playing through the patch content that came out between ARR and Heavensward...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I ran in to that same situation myself while playing through the first 50 levels. There just is a ton you can do in the game, and if you don't pick a small handful to focus on, you get overwhelmed very quickly. The other trap is multi-classing before you get one class through the MSQ of ARR...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    This is one of the things that I think modern MMORPGs get wrong. They listen to people complain about stuff like squishy tanks pets, and they adjust the class to make the pets less squishy. What they fail to take in to account is that the fact that the pet is squishy is offset by the skill of...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Have fun in Scars of Velious. It truly is one of the best expansions in the game. Well... all except that damn dragon that you have to sit, stand, sit, stand, sit stand for God knows how long. I truly hated her.

    He obviously didn't realize that Brad's idea of a pet is a visual dot rather than an actual pet. You can't push a visual dot with your foot obviously.

    My brother and I have fully embraced the fact that Whitemane is impossible to get on and have fun reliably, and we have thrown our undivided attention to the Benediction (PvP - Eastern) server. When we get to max level, and the servers calm the fuck down, we might look at transferring servers...

    So, instead of increasing the layers, they just let more people online in each layer at a time. Holy fucking hell. These people really are more stupid than they appear at first glance. I mean they are setting new records for how stupid a gaming company can actually be.

    My brother is going to install WoW Classic on his second computer, and log us both in a couple hours before I get off work (hopefully before the East coast gets home). That being said, we are going to play on Benediction (PvP) server. If Whitemane calms down in the future, we might transfer there.

    What they should do is increase the number of layers per server by a ton. That's the fix. Stop with the band aids.

    So, I stayed home sick yesterday from work, and naturally, I played a boat load of WoW. Here's the thing. My brother and I played on Whitemane from about 7am up to 2pm central with no queue issues. Then sometime between 2pm and 3pm, the East coast got off work/school, and the server filled up...

    My 60 day time card ran out this weekend, and I have not bought a new one because WoW Classic starts today. I don't really see a reason to play both games at the same time, so I am going to hold off on getting another time card for FFXIV until WoW Classic fizzles out. I still really love...

    I am completely torn on this subject. On one hand, I put a good 17 years of my life in to EverQuest, and it holds nostalgia strings to my heart that are damn near impossible to sever. On the other hand, I the last round of TLP servers was the straw that broke the camel's back for me with DBG...

    ID Software has the right idea when it comes to location; Dallas, Texas. Austin may be the technology hub of Texas, but Dallas is the less expensive to live in technology mecca of the state.

    You know... something just occurred to me. If they end up just unlocking expansion after expansion on the classic servers until such time it catches up with their Live servers, how will the account-wide achievements work? Are they just going to make it so that you already have done them all...

    There's validity to that of course. I get it. Hell I spent a weekend one time creating a spreadsheet for my warrior in EverQuest to determine the best use of AAs and combat abilities. If you are doing it for the enjoyment of theory crafting, that's cool. If you are doing it because you must...

    I personally think that many people put way too much emphasis on min/maxing everything from builds to even the class they choose to play. If you want to play the game and not quit a month or so in to it, play something that you find enjoyable. This whole min/maxing is ridiculous. I am just as...

    I think you are highly under estimating the cost of making a triple A MMORPG, but if Pantheon ever ships, we will see just what an extremely low budget MMORPG looks like. **edited to add the following** For the record, I think that Pantheon looks like pure fucking ass from all of the videos I...
