    Great news. Seems FFXIV is doing amazing well. I'm going to have to find some time to give it a look.
    I'm waiting for the new classes to hit, then going to jump in.

    Loved FFXIV:ARR a lot and I was sad I had to drop it because of the subscription issue. Hope next year we'll have a bit more stable (and higher) income so I can pick it up again.

    I'd resub, but college is stealing all my free time that it wouldn't feel like I'd actually be able to get my money out of it, even with the service account. Screw you college!

    actually it was mentioned by MMORPG in the last week.

     

    But I love the jab at Blizzards WoD Expansion:    Many new dungeons — more than 3 or 4.

    Someone caught a snippet of some files on Soken's laptop when he was doing the sound panel and there was a folder named Samurai, so take that for what you will.
