• • Square's new MMO

  • I have been dying for info on this new MMO. I played FFXI for 4 years and loved it while I did but moved on. Been playing WoW but its getting stale to me and I don't think WoTLK will be the fresh air I need to keep interest in it. FFXI is such a deep mmo you feel a real connection to the world and community, I havn't gotten in any mmo since I quit. I don't want to restart FFXI from square 1 this late in the games life, and after having played WoW and a lot of other mmos, the responsiveness and controls in XI leaves a lot to be desired. I really think square is the only company not afraid to not make a WoW clone. The whole genre right now seems a bit stale. AoC was crap and WAR to me is ok, but it seems kind of shallow like WoW, to me anyway. Nothing has matched XIs depth. Aion seems interesting enough but we'll see.

    I hope in the new MMO they make it challenging like FFXI and able to switch classes on the same character, I always loved that. I'm sure Square will have learned from their mistakes from XI, and I think their new one will end up being a real contender and be second only to WoW. I wish they just not keep us in the dark about it, although I don't remember ever hearing about FFXI till it was actually out, thought at the time I didn't even know what an mmorpg was heh. This new one they been working on since 2005 I believe it was? Hopefully when we do hear some info and demo videos/screenshots it won't be to far off.

• • Breaking! Warlocks are quitting WOW in droves.

  • No. Most of the warlocks are complaining that the expansion doesn't really bring anything new to them like it does other classes. The general consensus within the warlock community is that the class just isn't fun to play in wotlk. The new warlock abilities leave a lot to be desired. And by not getting buffed hardly at all, it kind of is a nerf, lol.

• • WotLK Graphics

  • I'm running an amd dualcore, 4gig ram, 9800 gt I actually noticed like a 20 fps hit between TBC and Wotlk Beta. What I found odd was it didn't matter whether or not I had shadows maxed out or on low. My FPS was the same. I'm thinking the engine or something for them just isn't optimized yet. I also noticed big shadows, like buildings, when I am riding away from them, the shadow doesn't decrease smoothly it decreases in huge chunks. I havn't played beta in a while because I don't like to spoil things for myself, so I dunno if its improved or not with  latest patches.
