    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Not looking great thus far, lobby servers are down for me currently. Keep your fingers crossed, hopefully this is the last wrinkle. If not, I am starting to be in agreement with one of the previous post. If they don't have it fixed this go around, I really don't think they have a clue as to...

    With this new turn of events, am I premature in thinking we might need go ahead and set up the rules and protocol as well as addemdum in light of our new gaming brethren, of the drinking games now? I know personally my wife justlovesit when she comes in and I am shitfaced by 7am. But I stand...

    This was a very informative post. Now it begs the question that I have. I am almost positive (in hindsight ) that the redirect url from GMG had an eu in it. After receiving my pre-order unlock, I logged into my SE account (which has my 1.0 CE on it as well) My unlock code contained the RAAU...

    On the second count, as long as your code begins with RAAU, which is an NA code, not the other one, you are fine I believe.

    Just to make sure I'm clear, the RAAU code denotes NA and RAAE is...something else?

    On top all the game-play, we also have a pretty good guild forming up. For the most part, it looked like we all ran stuff together where possible, and Saturday's night drunken muble was comedy. As it has been said before, the game is not groundbreaking but playing with the right people puts it...

    That has to be a throttling mechanism, I am betting it Gilgamesh will open up again.

    Getting pretty excited. Regarding the character creation aspect of the latest benchmark, was anyone able to change the initial template from Paladin? I was able to create my specific race and customize, but the overlay seemed only to be Pally or racial.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I did the $65 bounty hunter thing before they turned off the lifetime insurance deal. They way I look at it, Roberts has a proven track record, between Wing Commander and Freelancer...short of the X-Wing and Tie Fighter, it does not get any better than that.

    EQ Never

    On the last part, where the devs were playing "live"...where was the UI overlay...target, hps, spell/ability bar? Were the abilities just hot-bar'd and they knew what to hit? I had to watch it at work, so I missed some of the commentary, did I miss something?

    Good enough to keep me from upgrading for awhile, to my wife's rejoicing. Man I'm ready for beta 4!

    Depends, if you have been doing any of the recent beta things, it should let you download without a reg code. If not then, still all is good, this is from lodestone: As long as you can log into your SE account and see your purchase of 1.0, you should be good to go. And word around the campfire...

    Let's not completely generalize :P No, there were/are a lot of different mobs with a lot of different appearances and behaviors. And fuckyes!!!! Andsuckwas not a large enough adverb to qualify that drudgery that they put you through (although the snazzy jazz music was cool) The new interface...

    Very kind gesture, I have friends of mine in my guild that are not Rerolled members, I've been in since early beta but if no one from here takes you up on the offer by Friday, I know they would appreciate trying out the weekend betas.

    Absolutley man, the SA goons are on the Silverlode server, we are very active and have finally manged to stay off the GM's shit list (give it time, I'm sure we will fuck it up again).

    I see your point, but I don't know, the uncanny valley has always been a thin debate personally and doubly so when it comes to staring at something on a screen. That being said, I defiantly lean more towards the realistic styles.

    ^^ Short of him calling it Worldsof Warcraft, I really like what Jay Clayton is doing and if I'm not mistaken, he has been doing this for a while. Hell, conceptually, breaking down the narrative connections between literature and mmo's is sort of what we do here every day, well with a good bit...

    Lots of good stuff, some of the guys in my guild were doing Bell's of Dale last night, it sounded cool. Wait what? Easing the death penalty, but, now what excuse am I going to have to go fix a cocktail, like I needed an excuse.

    I know. What was it, + or may enter on the numpad to pull up the context menu, the the left/right/up/down arrows? I lived under powerlines back then, what can I say?

    Man, I wish I could embrace this, seriously. I think I was one of the, like four people in FFXI that WASD'd it. I blame EQ.

    Without a doubt, learning how to blink tank effectively was no small feat. With a death penalty, the learning curve could be painful.

    This is good to hear. Interestingly, my gaming machine was purchased for 1.0 (*cough* I needed a reason to justify the purchase) I just ran the benchmark, mind you I have not upgraded anything on this box: This is a better rating than what I ran in the 1.0 benchmark on the highest setting, over...
