  • Originally posted by teco221 Sadly, i have to agree with the OP.  I mean I really want to love FFXIV but it's NOT FFXI.  UI, questing, crafting, economy system, even basic grinding are horrible.  I love playing as a magic caster but they way how com…

  • Since the stalls are set up in an instanced zone I really can't see anyone lagging as a result. As for the question of whether this system or an auction house is 'better', that really depends on the perspective. One of the biggest complaints in Fi…
  • Originally posted by Drachasor I know it doesn't make sense.  Xipher said it was there though. He was sadly misinformed, or it's something I just haven't found any information on- either one is perfectly possible. In response to the above sta…
  • Originally posted by Drachasor It doesn't sound like your retainer can haggle at all though. Was that supposed to be a feature? Sorry, I don't pay attention to any of the pre-game hype or discussions much. All that I know about this game is fro…

  • I mean, people criticizing the game are not criticizing you, so why do you feel compelled to criticize them.  Praise the game if you feel the game is good, but jumping on people because they have a problem with the game just doesnt seem right. …
  • Vanguard is one of the most under-rated games I've ever seen (and some people think the scores for it here were too high?!). I love the comment I saw early on here about it being 'past its prime'- if you're talking about graphics, then certainly, th…
  • Thus far in my adult gaming 'life', I've been impressed by very few MMOs. I've played FFXI, GW, WoW, EQ, AoC, and countless korean item-mall games- some for months, and some for only days (usually the latter). However, I really loved my short-lived …
  • You didn't need to touch the item mall in order to play Mabinogi, so I'm not sure why it would be different here. That said, Mabinogi was only entertaining for a few weeks, and if we've learned anything from these types of games it's that 'if you've…
