As far as I know, the only beta tests that have been conducted thus far were both one-weekend affairs, and both of those were a fair few months apart. I'd guess the next one is coming up, but as I'm not a tester, I'm not exactly sure what they're ho…
After my initial misgivings, I ultimately found Neverwinter to be a pretty fun game for what it is, that being a co-op dungeon crawler first and foremost. As an MMORPG, it's sorely lacking in a large explorable world and any sense of permanence, but…
Yeesh, I can barely remember my time in this game but the pull of nostalgia is strong, and I'm going to resub to AC1 so I can check this out and support the revival of old games.
If nothing else I seem to recall really loving the world design.

FFXIV-RP is open to roleplayers of any experience level. ^^ We've got plenty of helpful and friendly users who are more than happy to help newcomers grow comfortable with the set…
Happy end-of-the-world, everyone! Now that the servers are down and storylines are (mostly) concluded, we'll be doubly focusing on the growth of FFXIV-RP. As of yesterday afternoon, we've finally unveiled our wiki where users can add character prof…
Being a part of the game and everything leading up to this moment was utterly fantastic. This really felt like one of those CGI sequences for a climactic moment in one of the single-player titles, as it takes place right at the end of the final serv…

Hello everyone, just here with an update on the progress of Final Fantasy XIV Role-Players! We've been growing steadily over the last week, and we'll continue to gain steam as we press on into the future.
We're celebrating the final save this week …
Hi Emojoe! Hopefully I can answer some of your questions.
You do need an account (active or not? I'm not sure, but definitely an account!) to be able to post on the official forums. Some other fansites you could look into are GamerEscape and ZAM, b…
Yeah, I hear you on your concerns about the quest-based leveling. That's the one thing I'm leery about, doubly so because Yoshida often mentions having played WoW and trying to bring FFXIV to the "baseline" that modern MMOs are at. At the same time,…

It's not quite as social as FFXI was, and the player base at present can be a bit self-destructive at times (at least on the forums), but so far FFXIV has been the most social of all "modern" non…
Originally posted by Yaevindusk Looking good.
I'll keep an eye out for you guys when the game re-launches. Until then, I've just been working on maxing out all my crafting classes to become a master at repairing and making items.
You're a br…
^ What Sovrath said. The game is in lockdown for new accounts / subs as of this past weekend, since it'll be shutting down in preparation for the relaunch come November 11th.

Endgame has your standard gear-grinding, albeit a little more painful than in games like WoW or Rift. The random-number-generator can still be pretty nasty to deal with, and I'm personally still waiting to see a single cloth gold drop in one of the …
Originally posted by Feverfew Aion sounds really nice, and I've been wanting to try it for a very long time, but I've heard that it's changed too much >.<
I saw videos that showed an amazing combat system(it looked like Dragon Age!) but I he…
Originally posted by Z3R01 I would rather play RIft to be honest...
Shit... I would rather play Lotro or WAR than AION.
I found Aion to be souless...
sorry if that bothers anyone.
To each their own I found Rift to be soulless myself. Sti…
Originally posted by just1opinion So does AION still have problems running on Vista? Yes, yes, I know.....who uses freaking Vista? Unfortunately I'm stuck with it for a while longer, so.....anyone know if AION still fights with it, or rather if Ga…
I'm not sure that Vanguard meets the population requirement, but I haven't played it in a few years. I'll go ahead and look like a tool by suggesting my game of choice, Aion =D
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by mainstream questing, but just a…
