[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="Geminon"] just another way for you to express yourself in game.... and i dont know why anyone would be AGAINST player housing. it is ALWAYS a good thing IMO. you will be able to show off trophies from bosses you have downed, gear sets that may not be good to wear anymore but look awesome.... and just spend some time decorating and being creative. more features are never a bad thing.Geminon
Yeah true, it would be like a collection thingy. I'm not saying more features are bad, or that player housing is bad....I just never understood the lure. One thing is for sure, they have to make sure they don't concentrate too many resources on it and take away from the main game.

if FF11 was any indication, it is not SE's focus to create an endgame progression driven game. FF11 was always more concerned about creating an FF world for you to play in, and it seems like they are carrying that over to FF14. i have a feeling you are going to see a LOT more content patches that flesh out the world than you will see with new dungeons and loot.

Uhhh.... people won't like that me thinks.  All I hear from gamers is "no end-game cry cry cry" etc.  It's like that's all they care about these days in an MMO.

Personally I would prefer an MMO to concentrate on the world and not just end-game like WoW does.  That's why I like playing SWTOR and GW2, even if they have their problems, you don't need to max out a character to enjoy a good story and epic moments.

I feel like playing it again now, I would love to have a fantasy MMO to live a second life in.....just wish the levelling would be a bit less repetitive and the story would kick in.

I'm excited about the PVP now. Naoki Yoshida is a huge fan of DAoC. Interesting how it will turn out..

[QUOTE="Kuromino"]

Decided to purchase the digital version and see how it is.  I definitely wasn't the biggest fan of Final Fantasy XI, but after putting in a few hours into this game, A Realm Reborn seems more to my taste.  Went with an Archer for the time being; seems like a decent class so far.

Since several people here seem to be on the same server, is there a Gamespot linkshell at all?  Had to turn off a bunch of channels due to mass spamming, but it would be nice to see some chatter going on.

Are you on Famfrit? If you are, add me, my char name: Finn Calahan

Now that you mention that name, I think I have seen you somewhere before ingame. I tried adding you but it said Character not found.

I am Abrielg Avellion. If you have seen a black midget running around, that was probably me.

Yea....FF14 ARR might be one of the best MMOs after watching that.

Interesting... G: I read that Dark Age of Camelot is one of your favorite MMORPGs, and it happens to be one of mine as well. Incidentally, Final Fantasy XIV has three factions. Can we expect something in a fashion similar to DAOCs Realm vs. Realm for A Realm Reborns PvP? NY: Oh! Then perhaps we have fought or joined a party together before? For A Realm Reborns PvP we plan to implement two elements: the Coliseum for casual PvP matches and the Frontline for large-scale PvP battles. Frontline will feature epic battles among the three city-states and would be similar to a Realm vs. Realm which you can look forward to.

Same thing happened to me when I tried adding him; maybe some sort of privacy setting is causing that. I'll try adding you when I get home from work and see what happens. My characters name is Azco Maco by the way.

Yeah, I'm on the same server.  I attempted a search, but it didn't find anyone by that name.

Ok that's weird. Well, please try "Blighthero" and "Elann Neversleep." And please leave me your name or message it to me. I'll add you.

WOW, played a bit more and got bombarded with information. Guildmate, or Levelmate... or something like that....together with Hunting Log etc etc. It's like there are heaps of different types of quests??? Is there a guide somewhere I can keep handy? Also, is there a way to PREVIEW a piece of armour before purchasing?

guildhests are like training missions. they teach you battle mechanics. they provide a pretty decent amount of XP and gil. levequests are basically your dailies. you get 6 a day, and can store up to 100. they are good for finishing off a level if you run out of quests and have 15-20% left. hunting log is sort of for completionists. basically if you complete your hunting log, you will have killed basically every mob in the entire world. sadly, no way to preview armor before you purchase yet. items dont bind until you use them in battle though, so if you get a drop or something you can put it on and see if you like the look. if you dont, just take it off and sell it.

Felipe, I know you were having issues with getting your UI between 2 PCs. Sadly there is no server side saving, but I found this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7LLrJIE5D8

I do find that hunting logs making leveling much much faster. I usually do hunting logs while jumping around doing FATEs.
