    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    None taken but what we did learn is that Sports collectibles are something you really can't even get into anymore. To save themselves they created the extreme values and then everything else. You cannot casually collect for fun and at the same time get something you feel is worth something...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    That is essentially what my Dad is looking to do. He's wanting to get the Silver/Golden Age kind of stuff. Our Sport Memorabilia collection is pretty extensive and while we would love the investment aspect, it is really not a major priority. Essentially, the money invested in our Sports...

    Anyone a Comic Book collector? (Need insight)

    First, let me provide some background. My father and I have travelled the eastern United States going to card shows and collecting sports cards and memorabilia. We were and are sports nuts and my Dad always felt that it was better to invest in something you enjoy collecting that throwing in a...

    This... This... This. It really wasn't my intention to take it too slow as I wanted to keep up with the pack but life had other plans. My son's soccer season is still making up games. It has forced me to not get in a hurry and it has really made the game that much more enjoyable to me. I...

    I don't know about that.. haha Sure there will be drop off and lets face it, everyone has their own cup of tea but plenty of people are already discussing the game and the upcoming updates. It is still too early to tell. My advice is just get with friends where ever, enjoy the game, take it...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Who is Brad working with on this project? Also, why such a short stint with SoE? Didn't they put him in charge of EQ? I'm thinking this was known in the beginning. They picked his brain and ran some things by him for EQNext then tossed him in the corner. I'm thinking he was just biding his...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I would like to see Brad and Hartsman make a MMO together that way we can finally put to rest if either of them is actually worth anything to the industry. Not to be mean but they both seemed accidental in their work or maybe it was timing. Regardless I would like to see Brad put out a...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    From what i've played and seen of ESO, I think you'll have to be content with the story and what you can do as an individual and maybe a small group of friends. I think it will have the same fate and aftertaste as SWTOR. I think the console and Skyrim fans will get it and enjoy it for a period...

    I don't know.. I think there will be some drop off as I said earlier but I think people will stick it out with this game only because of the feel. I give it 3 months before anything significant happens. I believe the crossroad will come sometime in November and/or December. If they are not...

    There will be some drop off and I feel no sympathy for those that are just blasting through content but I think we will be pleasantly surprised just how many people hang around up to and through Christmas. I think this game has to focus on Christmas and there after. You're going to have a lot...

    In true "rerolled" style, I rerolled on Gilga remaking my Dragoon. Now that my son's soccer season is wrapping up, I should have more playing time. I'll shoot someone a message in game for a FC invite. Muligan Jurai Dragoon on Gilgamesh. As much as I loved my White Mage, after playing a...

    Wow... I think my Dragoon is still over there but I had given up due to the server issues. I may have to jump on to Gilgamesh if you guys have that much going on. Love the guys on Malboro, extremely helpful and nice guys, but I think the most i've seen on is 10-12 in the FC. Just hate to go...

    Just curious... how many guys do you have on in the Gilgamesh Company? Wondering how split up we are across 2-3 servers now that some of the dust has settled.

    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.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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...

    Everquest II

    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.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    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...

    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...
