Hmm, I am a little intrigued to say the least, I was contemplating about resubbing since I've noticed that, up until the 5th of next month, I have been offered a month for around half the standard price.

You should have played a warrior... there are reasons why warriors difficulty rate is 5 stars ;)

I strongly dissagree, I find warrior rather easy to play.

Hahaha. This is one of the funniest post I've read in a while.

I second this notion, certainly made me laugh, shame you can't give people a rating on here, he'd totally deserve a +1 for that, haha.

Woot, I've preordered (purchased, whatever) can't wait :D

If these are your top reasons then you obviously didn't play Guild Wars.

I can definately see everyone leaving WAR for this, count wait for its release, I've preordered already :D

The return of classic FF jobs eh? Sounds good! I wonder how they're gonna implement it, though. Like, whats gonna happen to the current classes like Pugilist, Lancer, etc? Are they being replaced? Will Pugs become Monks, and Lancers Dragoons?

I heard DRG won't be achievable to after 30 just like in FFXI so I doubt they'll be reploving puglist and lancer.  I think what they're doing us giving these jobs and advancement so for example you move on from Lancer to Dragoon or Pugilist to Monk but don't quote me on that as I'm not 100% sure.

In that case you might like it after 1.21 at the end of this month, you should read up on that.  Or you could always wait for 2.0 as rumors go its going to be a massive change/improvement to the game.

Yes I know thats what they said, and with 1 week to go I'd have expected they'd update us on this.

So does anyone know when this patch is going to be released yet?

Just gave it a try All characters are litterally the same, there is no customisation what-so-ever and the quetss are very linear.  I know its a free game and all but seriously, I've played better.  Also, I certainly wouldn't try it right now as its practicually over run by players trying to kill the mobs you need.  Which after you leave the first area gets very hard to find them since their spawn points are very low.

[Mod Edit]

I already created a thread for this, thanks for ignoring that fact.  btw, technically its not a "scam" you're getting something for nothing >_>

Anyone else tried the high level promo code? I can't seem to get a high level character.

What they mean is that they can only offer the service to restore items 3 times in 6 months, not that its only 3 items every 6 months.  Though tbh I was quite put off by this as I accidently decomposed a light saber I had recently brought with hard earned tokens so I was pretty pissed about that but meh, in the end I decided it wasn't worth taking up the service for.  I have to admit, at least they do offer this, some companies won't.

Hi guys, I'm from UK and it has come to my attention that when comparing what EU are getting and what US are getting for their money, US are getting a better deal when it comes to ingame mounts and items.  The only benifit the EU seem to be getting is the option for a cheaper pre-order deal which in turn apparently goes towards your overall package price, which is good and all but personally I think I prefer the US packages.  Here are the comparison differences:

EU:

Pros:  Has a cheap pre-order so you're not blowing all your money before getting a chance to play in beta and early access and the ammount goes toward your package you buy thereafter, but you can cancel and get a refund for US so this isn't entirely a pro thing.  You also get 7 days extra time?  I think this is actually relating to the early access or the invite a friend 7 days thing, if anyone can elaberate on this I'd appreciate it.

Personal Pros:  This is in my time zone.

Cons:  In order to have the Regal Frostion mount and necklaces you must buy the CE.

Personal Cons:  Most players will be most likely non English speakers, I often find this on EU servers for other games and end up purchasing US versions via digital version.

US:

Pre-order benifits for US:

Pros:  You don't need CE for Regal Frostion Mount and the necklaces and the digital collectors edition costs around the same price as EU's standard edition when converted via xe.com.

Personal Pros: Plenty of English speaking players! :D  Also, bigger country equals more players to play with who can speak English.

Cons:  No mention of the 7 days extra? again I could be missunderstanding what the EU version means by the 37 days thing.

Personal Cons:  This is not my time zone, most people are at least 5-9 hours behind myself, this can be a problem when wanting to play in the evening but sometimes I'm a late night person and currently unemployed (this factor is not up for discussion).  Also, I often find Americans to be particually obnoxious and rude toward us Brits, bad communities can ruin the overall game experiance, not to mention with being a much bigger country of course there is going to be alot more players which can sometimes mean more players equals more trolls.

So yeah, there you have it.  I'm particually looking at EU standard vs US DCE here as I'm not really interested in the CE for either versions but the lion mount intrigues me.  Also, they seem to be around the same price when you compare them using xe.com's currency exchange rate, as I mentioned above.  That being said, it would seem that DCE from US is offering a better deal than SE from EU.  If anyone knows any better deals than this please feel free to point those out to me.

I added some personal views as this kind of influences on my decision but also causes a dillema at times when trying to come to an overall decision.  I'm posting this to hear your views, both on the offer comparison and perhaps to enlighten me on my personal view points.  By the way, I ask of you not to take my personal comments personally, these are just my personal views from my personal experiances, it is not saying that foreign people are bad in any way and I am not prejudice toward any foreign country toward my own.

UPDATE:  I decided to get US version.
