• • Is this game for me?

  • I'm not looking to sell my account; I know that will never happen. I think what that guy is saying is that the cd-key is nonreusable. It's alright, I can deal with $30 gone because I had it and it was ok. I get the 30 free trial so there isn't anything to complain about. Besides, I happen to strike gold (after trying for 30 minutes to figure out the controls of the game and the interface>>>very confusing stuff but fun nonetheless). I happen to stumble upon a gracious soul who gave me a linkpearl and off I was on a tutorial. I hate tutorials, but a player tutorial is pretty neat, especially when they are there to help every step of the way. This guy had friends who played this in RL and are pretty dedicated to the game, so I'm not worried about that. This game is great, and so far the challenge is very appealing. I created a monk on Odin. Currently level 2 right now. People don't lie when they say you need patience for this game. When I first saw the graphics, I cringed. I was thinking "CMON, ARE YOU SERIOUS?" But then I took a step back, and thought about it again. Give it a chance, I thought. So, I tossed the graphics out the window, and the game is actually quite fun. Yes, I'm grinding, but at least I have people to talk to while I'm grinding, not to mention I have a group that I can rely on right now. Who knows, I'll make more friends in the game and there will be more group opportunities; it's all about how you look at it really. The game is set up so that you MUST socialize, and is NOT for the solo type. This game fits me perfectly well, and I may be rethinking that WAR sub. Depends if this 30 day trial sinks in with me. We will see.

  • I took the plunge. They actually had a COPY of Vana'diel collection 2008 at gamestop for $30. Not a bad deal; the way I see it is I'll play until level 30, then I'll figure out whether I really like this or not. If I do, then great I'll keep playing. If not, then I'll move on and sell the game for like $15 on ebay. I'll get half of my money back, so I'm good to go. We will see =D

• • Is this the game I've been waiting for?

  • Well, I'm very much interested in this game. I'm not sure what the game will be like at launch so I'll probably sit this one out until most of the bugs are taken out at launch. I don't want to fall to "AoC hype" if you know what I mean. I'm not saying AoC isn't a bad game, but at the same time I don't want to have such high expectations that when I do get the game I am disappointed. Until then, I am headed off into the realm of FFXI.

• • Is this game for me?

  • The only problem I have in getting the 08 version is that it isn't in stores around here. I tried my local gamecrazy and they don't have it. They sell mostly console games anyway. I know walmart does not have it (I'll check tomorrow, but I'm almost certain that they didn't have it last time I checked). Kmart doesn't have it and the last time I called gamestop, they didn't have it either. So would downloading the 2007 version be smart or should I just order the 08 version online? Just wondering because the 07 version is 19.99, and it has all of the expansion packs EXCEPT wings of the goddess. Wings of the goddess is 19.99...so what do you think I should do? Would buying the 08 version be better in my overall gaming experience than buying the 07 version?

  • Well, I guess I should rephrase what I said because "heavily group oriented" sounds a bit much. I mean will this game offer groups all of the time? I know that I can't depend on people all of the time to be on (not 24/7 because I have a life= college and work so I mainly log on at night; when the weekends hit I'm on for sure). Are the solo quests better than WoW or EQ2 solo quests? I don't mind this for leveling purposes, but like I said, the real fun starts when I'm grouped with other people trying to accomplish a goal.
