Ameya or whatever looks preggers in her wedding photo.

Actually 1 and 3 are fine in FFXI and it"s a current MMO. Two is a huge issue and would require some new questing system that hasn"t been thought up yet. In 1 if you do a pick up BCNM (instanced dungeon) or something to that effect loot rules would have been figured out before you set foot in...

It"s pretty much to the point games need to develop some sort of custom graphics engine that lets people scale down all the way to full animated low poly, all the way up to nasa sim high res space station 3d particle effects. Then the board can flame each other about whose screenies look the...

Yes, but since no devs seem to listen I will continue to keep touting the system. I remember I asked a dev for EQ2 in person if he had ever checked out FFXI and he gave a comment that it didn"t have good graphics and the convo pretty much ended there. I don"t want to see such a beautiful...

Yea some mechanic like that would be great, I want to explore too just like anyone, but I know leveling up I would go to places that I at least saw others in to group. Then I would zone into places like Spider Bluffs on Thestra, wonder if there was good content to be had there, but then moving...

Now see this type of criticism in the last page or so of posts is 100% valid. I"m 24 and I"m having a decently fun time but yea after the double exp weekends it is *definitely* a slow down. I feel a bit behind the leveling curve myself. I think the current hump is in the 30s of the bell curve...

Yea and you totally glossed over the sentence where I said this is solved in wow with a friends list and a good guild.... Look there are bad things about every MMO and as a habitual player of MMOs, there are certain "fixes" that I can only get in certain games. I"m pointing out one of wow"s...

I"d also like to add one more thing to my experiences of group games vs solo oriented leveling games: basic communication skills. Whether it is because they can"t type and play at the same time, don"t care, like using the mouse, don"t read whatever... I have gotten more groups in WoW where no...

Yea I was gonna say Necros and Druids do well too. I"m not sure on any of the offensive DPS classes, but I would guess Bard/Ranger/Monk would be fine too. But I do have a Dark Knight and I do think defensive tanks classes could probably use a bit of help in the soloing department.

Heh Wodin I said as much in the next post down Totally agree on the soloing issue.

It is possible, but in other games where healers got insta groups (like FFXI) there were still too many Dark Knights and Dragoons. I honestly think it is what you said + the fact that healers solo well. And coming from someone who has always played healers, on the powerful scale of weakest (EQ2)...

Yea- half the servers are healers. The healers are well balanced (for the most part) and strong. IMHO they need to beef up tanks some as there aren"t enough. Make people want to play them more. I guarantee out all the people playing healers, for many this is the first time in an MMO a healer is...

I will also be shocked if it does better than EQ2 at release. EQ2/WoW came at a prime time when the vast majority of folks were tired of EQ1. This time there is plenty to play MMO wise, and while VG looks to have promise in the future it doesn"t have it right now. Beautiful environments but...
