It's an interesting topic for an article, surely one that puts a dent into all the negativity surrounding the "I'm leaving this game" posts on official forums—people being so defensive when their preferred game of the month is criticised, granted he…

I think the question about age is not so much about playing itself, but about which kind of games we play. And this isn't just about gaming for that matter, psychologically there's a time for everything so to speak: on the short term (how you are go…

Final Fantasy XIV was always intended for an international market, as any other canonic Final Fantasy title since Final Fantasy IV. The version 1.0-1.23 was built on another engine very poor in terms of efficiency and customisation, so when Naoki Yo…

I've copied in this post in another thread of this forum an explanation provided by a FFXIV player who happens to have worked in backend MMO datacenters (systems engineer). Short story: it's a design choice made by SE to run the game in 'server liv…

That video looks like a mature disney-style on steroids. Really great!

It kinda makes me laugh when people claim that combat is slow because you "need to think" or something. That just isn't true for the seasoned MMO player who knows quite instinctively what to do at any given time, in my humble opinion—your mileage ma…

Sounds interesting. I played XIV in beta, and wasn't sold enough. Too much promise undelivered, too many fatal flaws. But it seems Yoshida has done the job with the right vision in mind. In hoping he did a good job… To add on the off-topic at hand…

Here's the deal for me. Some games are great. TOR is about to compete to be the best mass-audience MMO ever produced, reading this thread it seems kind of obvious. Yet that should not deter us from the fact that it's a genre we know well—one that…

Well I, for one, stopped following closely the whole MMO beta & announcement PR quite a few months ago, because: 1 - I'd been "into" the whole MMO buzz for years and quite frankly got tired of being over-sold and then, obviously, over-disappoi…

Originally posted by Ramonski7 A lot of you are missing the point here. Blizzard is basically trying to force the players whether they PvP, Raid or both to pick their build based on how they play not what they are playing for. And I for one hope the…

Very interesting topic. I don't agree with the OP, jpnz. Metagaming isn't a design, nor is it a flaw. It's a simple fact. It's reality. It's how people play games, be it sports, solo console games, or MMORPGs. I tend to agree with bunnyhopper when…

Everything I read about ST:IS from the beginning makes me wanna try that game. Perhaps I need to know that not all ST games have to be as shallow as STO. But now you've got me really excited. As a trekkie who could never really choose between Pi…

@ astoria: thanks a lot for that input. You really put legal concepts (words) on those ideas. : ) I'll look into privately held companies. @ waynejr2: I don't have much faith in the 1/3 thing as is. However there's a principle that this scheme …

Awesome feature. I'm sure FF XIV 1.84 will be a great game, ready for release.

Originally posted by Coman I do not recall level 1-20 being to impressive in WoW though. At least in Warhammer you can have some good PvP in tier 1 and not as limited as WoW's timeless trail. It is a good move though as they get more exposure ( W…

I'm afraid so many people were turned off by their first experience of FF XIV—probably in beta or early release—that the game lost its appeal like, forever. Even if they're somehow great at making it up for us as we speak, it's too little too lat…

"Players are not investors" Thinking of this on a side-related note, I believe we may see some alternative production/investment forms happen in the near future. Just look at how people can produce music artists on cooperative websites. This is …

Originally posted by mirkrim I have a feeling that the Foundry somehow falls under ingame crafting in terms of legislation. So player-created missions would be the same as player-created items, because they are made using the ingame tools provided…

Originally posted by Ragnaven I doubt cbs would complain, it's like writing fan fiction on a games forums. If you read the ELUA it says anything submitted to the web site becomes instantly the property of said company to use, reuse, modify, and dis…

Yeah, Jueno should have been there. Hell, I never played FFXI, and I know this town by its sole reputation of "awesome and unbelievable hard trip to reach it the first time", and its interest in terms of re-joining races in the game. When I read the…
