    World of Warcraft: Classic

    My brother and I will play WoW Classic when it finally is opened up for good, but for ONLY ONE REASON. JUST ONE. ONE. To kill noobs on the escort quest going from Sentinel Hill to Moonbrook. Our day one strat: Choose a PvP server Create an Undead Rogue Level up to 30ish Travel to...

    I think I have fallen in the 30-50 rut I have read about where you keep trying a different class. I got pugilist up to 31 Monk. Then I tried rogue and got it up to 45 Ninja. Ended up doing Thurgalist to 10ish. I really liked the way tanks looked in the game, so I have been working on a...

    New Lord of the Rings MMO

    I just started FFXIV recently, and I have to say that the idea of being behind is a misnomer when it comes to that game. The game IS the story in the game, so the typical MMO design we have been taught for the past two decades of "the game starts at max level" does not apply to FFXIV in any way...

    New Lord of the Rings MMO

    Sony Online Entertainment's "Starwars Galaxies" shut down on December 15, 2011. Bioware's "Starwars: The Old Republic" started on December 20, 2011. It happens.

    Daybreak making new online RPG on UE4.

    With any luck, Daybreak Games will sell off which ever subsidiary owns the rights to EverQuest to a company that will actually give two shits about developing the IP further rather than spend all their time and resources making rainbow rabbits.

    I hit level 45 last night on my Ninja and did a couple more dungeons for the first time: The Sunken Temple of Qarn and The Stone Vigil. Both of these dungeons were great. I didn't know the strats for either of these dungeons bosses, and it was a blast figuring it out on the fly. It really...

    I finally went and unlocked the Treasure Map feature in the game last night. The only thing I don't understand is where I get the maps. Do they drop off of mobs randomly, come from quests, or what?

    There are so many feature unlocks in the game, and you find them all over the place as you level up. I didn't do many of the leves aside from just doing the first one to open up leves at each location, and then when I got in my GC (I'm associated with Ul'Dah Inner Flames I think it is called)...

    From my short experience with the game so far, I think that is the case. I can be wrong of course, but that's what I am doing with some of my lower level classes. The one thing I really love about POTD is that you can go join all the class guilds, and then play each one one time in POTD to...

    It took way too fucking long, but people finally got wise of the fact that the typical MMOs are doing the BARE MINIMUM and charging the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM they can for it. There's more content in the last FFXIV expansion than in the last 5 expansions for EverQuest combined. And, when I say...

    One thing I forgot to mention for people playing on PS4 is that you hold down the right bumper button on the controller, and then you can choose any of the 8 available crosshotbars to switch to at anytime. So, to pull up crosshotbar 2, you would hold down the right bumper and then press the B...

    I personally have never understood why MMORPGs don't just make the pet's stats some sort of reflection of the player who owns the pet. That way, there is no real issues with balancing the class due to it being a duo party rather than a single character like all other classes. That way there...

    Exodus must be a very low pop server because the largest queue I experienced was 149 on Sunday evening. Every other time I logged in all weekend was like 15 in queue at most.

    I started from scratch last month after playing EverQuest for 17+ years, and I can tell you that I wish I had switched to FFXIV many, many years ago. This game is fucking awesome. Seriously. The UI takes a lot of tweaking to get it right, but the game is just a shit ton better than anything...

    I understood why people cheated in EverQuest because if you didn't, you was playing the game at a MAJOR disadvantage, and the cheaters could literally block you out of content by not either resorting to cheating as well or paying the Krono/Plat ransom they were demanding. EverQuest was a shitty...

    What is the trust system they are talking about? Does that make it so I can run dungeons by myself with a group of NPCs rather then sitting around in the DF to run them?

    I do a boat load of harvesting as harvesting/crafting are two of my favorite roles in FFXIV. Because of that, I have TONS of materials stored on my retainers. Is there an easy way to see what items are selling for on the MB when adding things up for sale? If it's easy, I will put a crap load...

    Well the recent monthly newsletter sums it up. In FIVE YEARS, they have managed to make 2 zones and 1 raid. The new zone is still not "ready to show the public" as they say, and nobody has seen this so called raid. The best part, they added even more ways for you to pledge... ahem... give...

    I would assume that the vast majority of people would only ever have one character in FFXIV since they can play all classes/jobs on one character. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I assumed.
