Current Gamerankings.com post @ 48.75% out of 100%. Review/Ranking still going down. What can I say that hasnt already been said. Good/Great graphics the rest need work/help. I "like" the crafting system though its lag system makes things go hella slow. Its strange. The UI is "old school", if you want to add a friendly term to it. I just think its sad personally. I'd give the game a 4.5/10 |

I've helped setup 3 accounts so far. If you need one b/c you're having a problem reg'ing then hit me with a PM. I'll make 10 F2P dummy accounts soon and let people pick those out |

There's no sign-up "scam"... not sure I even get that. Click2Play sign-up option is down, that is about it. And no, there arent "zero" people online though it can get kinda low... it usually zero's out at about 10-14 people online... the max i've seen online is between 50 and 70 people. So the norm usually floats between that amount depending on the time of day which plays the most factor, of course. If you need help getting an account, just hit me up. |

Ok, I see allot people wanting to join the game but get stuck when trying to create an account... that is because Click2Play acct sign-up is offline and not allowing ppl to make new account. BUT if you already have an account, it is possible to make a NC account. There's not much I can do but you can contact me via a PM or Message and I will try to make an account for you. Just give me the Log-In name you would like me to use. It's free 2 play and its an awesome game... lovely player housing and vehicles and creatures... love the crafting system and in-game forums. Selling stuff is easy. |

Servers are filling back up.. though at max, there are only around 50 players online. But that is more then enough to get stuff done. The major problem is newer ppl making an account as Click2Play acct setup is offline ATM. If anyone needs an account just PM me or leave me a Message and I will try to help you. Awesome game. |
|

PM me, I'll make you one. I still have a Click2Pay account.. I dont know why their acct setup is offline right now but everything else works. |
|

Sure. You need a click2Pay account but their sign-up is down ATM. Luckily I remember mine so I'd be happy to make you an account. I'll send you a PM via MMORPG. Basically what User Name you want. No need to tell me a password as one is sent auto. Defaults are like kdi394ka. You know how they are... I'll email that and the user name you picked to you and you can goto accounts and change it to whatever you like thus keeping ur info private. |

I've downloaded the game and put my user name and password in and yup, it let me log-in and all my stuff is where I left it - >_> kewl.
Though I'm not sure about new users, I've read around and it said just start the 10-Day Free Trail and you'll get the same effect(good luck to you). No harm in trying.
As far as updates: I hear the classes have been balanced so basically PvP is 'equal' no matter your character, though how good you make your build does play a % in it. PvE has been balanced so mobs dont 1hit you >_> that use to suck. The game has been moved to an inferior server though which is a down side, I hear you get some sync issues and/or disconnects. I've yet to be a victim of it yet but I believe it is there.
That aside, its Free and its a great game... best in-game housing, crafting, PvP, driving, spaceship game i've seen so far.. the story is pretty good too.. you take on missions and its a wide range of them. |

Originally posted by Ampris So 8 Days minus shipping time. Whatever that totals too, if that makes you happy, then I guess so. I'm not arguing with you, just stating some "free tyme play" + a birth thing doesnt compare to getting a Map, Cup, and Goggles... I dont see why you would defend that?
As for the "beta" thing being more ready then most.. the game has been out for some time now, its just being ported to English so I would hope it would be more stable/balanced then more new games being Beta tested, ya kno?
As for bug fixes, I dont know, we'll have to see how well SE NA Co. customer service is... FFXI was hellish. And not sure what the troll thing is but okay. "Ya momma" |

Originally posted by Raserei Whew... lets see. All vital points. Keeping in mind the game is done already, has been for awhile.. its just being ported/translated to NA/ENG. Though some minor and major improvements have to happen, the time frame for these improvements are questionable. A rule of thumb is usually wait 2 or 3 months after the release to patch and sort out the bugs... if you're not in it for the long-term but the play for awhile aspect. If not, I would espect to see allot ranting in the next month or so. Originally posted by Stampede Yeah SWTOR is the way a 2010 game should be, I dont know about FFXIV, it seems out-dated from my perspective
As for a full walk-threw of the game, yes there is one, just no for NA'ians... you'll have to google a Japanese site for FFXIV and use the translators. Japan dont care that much for it's NA ppl... we did bomb/nuke them :) remember that lol Heck, even the NA CE version package of the game only comes with some paper stuff and a Birth thing for your character they'll mail to you which cost you an extra 25 dollars more or less... vs JP/EU/AUS version where they get Maps, Cups, and Cid Goggles. |

Hey I got double billed by POL a long time again. Over drifted my account so then I had to deal with the bank and the crappy SE customer support. I wonder how FFXIV customer support will be... hopefully not as bad. But then again, it is an Asian import game :\ they dont kare about us NA'ians |

So you pay 25 dollars more and get paper and a few xtra days to play(12 dollars gives u a whole month)? Sounds like you got gib'd. I'm just pokin fun. I really dont think its right and SE or whoever is over the NA CE release should be more then ashamed of them selves. A map and a cup is at least something you c an hold on too, I even heard AUS CE has Goggles, I guess like Cid's(?) But yeah, paying xtra for 3 more days of a(right now) buggy game and a sheet of paper you can print out your self for 10 cents seems a little.... i dont know, whats the word |

How many are purchasing this game just because there's nothing else coming up in the immediate future?
General Discussion « Final Fantasy XIV 9/19/10 9:23:07 PM
That's a good perspective... I guess there's no newer games out(p2p) right now and I do wonder what split of the buyers will be "fans" and what percent will just be "playing it". The game is nice and fun but hardly impressive. Most of its features seem strangely out-dated and missing it's 'user friendly' aspect though many will try to counter argue for it being like that, I personally find no excuse. It's 2010 and my car Hud has more features and a better UI then a video game(thats just not right). |

It would be nice if FF was fully voiced and included sometype of actual story interaction. Its funny when they answer for me and I havent even said anything or given the choice to. FFXIV systems seems a bit.. "out-dated?". I guess that would be the term to say. The UI is hell, I dont even get why its so DOS like but oh well. There are a few features in the game that make me ponder: "Why did they do it like that?" when we all know(by now) that there are sooooooooooo many better ways of doing it. I think they jus have a old-staff + the 'asian grinder' thing not really up-to-date with US players(mayb one theory) |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: The Story Problem
News Discussion « General Discussion 9/19/10 1:35:58 AM
I dont see the issue. I've yet to see any MMO that lets you decide on what tree you want to continue on Quest wise... kill this person or dont.. save this person or dont. Letting saving someone lead to this path, killing someone lead to this path. Other then that, why so afraid of change? Or why would you want yet another cut-and-copy mmo with a diff skin thats just like all the rest.. I just dont get it personally. PPL saying remove the voices, remove the companion, remove the story... might as well play Quake or something and spend ur time running around shooting. SW:Jedi Academy has a nice Multiplayer combator. That or download an Asian Grinder and be happy having to kill 1trillion enemies a day for 1 level and finishing all the "Quest/Story" by the 20th or so level so you want have to worry about Quests anymore -shrug As for race selection... meh, I guess all of the protags have been human after all but I'd love to pick a Zabrak as a character :) oh well. |

Final Fantasy XIV: I Think I'll Rest For Just a Moment
News Discussion « General Discussion 9/13/10 3:49:47 PM
Sounds like a *pricey* upgrade IMO. Do you think you'll have to pay more for the game _overall_ sense it'll take you longer to reach *end game*? |

Well I fully agree with all the numbers on ur kount down as well with many of the replies made to it.
I'll focus on the leveling one though. Idling over the lil number next to ur avatar has lead to some sorry gaming over time. They are kalled GrindFests which play a big part in the drawn out "Kill # of <monster> and return to <npc>". The best fix I've seen for this so far is a Chart System where u spend points to unlock new skills. I like the Circle charts but some are Tree like.
MY ADDITION: Ok so why did I focus on this one in place of others? Well simply put, I had another idea for the Skill Chart... 1) Have quest only mission that'll unlock other tiers, something special or unique. 2) Have Skills that you kan unlock that'll let u wear different or better types of armor ...that alone is enough to change the leveling and gaming word. Atleast in the Grind/Leveling department. As for Quests. I say add in more crafting themes. Making ur owe stuff is always fun and u feel like u put ur own name on it. In some games it is on it :) |

What a stupid Idea to put chat restrictions on the trial.

"Endgame" is a failure in the body of a MMO.
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion 1/24/09 2:03:53 PM
I think NeoCron has a pretty good endgame... even when u kap u dont stop advancement. I dont think i've ever "end gamed" another game. most have some what decent story lines but higher levels tend to be borning to say the least and never got to the end.. or as someone said, the prize at the end just wasnt interesting enough and to much focus on building the middle of the game and not the end... that might be people norm to work from Start to Finish in place of making sure the end is good or great then filling in the rest. I truely believe coders get tired and the laziest shows up torwards the end which is most of the time the most buggest (if u've ever noticed). |
