Wary of the grind fitz, wary of the grind.

I'm also wary of that, if it's not as grind as the last one i might play it.

Hmm..yeh the grind in XI was a bit nasty...sposedly in XIV they're going for a more moving band of players killing mobs as they go - no more static camps pulling mobs to them like it was in XI..who knows, still under NDA, although beta started yesterday or so, hopefully NDA gets lifted soon..I'm personally looking forward to the fact you can actually level as a tradesman as a main class, and they have skills and abilities that can be used in combat (eg. Metalsmiths use picks and hammers, and get bonuses vs. Metallic creatures such as golems). Interesting change..

so you are gonna make me some awesome weapons?

Thanks man

Heh I'll most likely roll a crafter main...im curious to see if its gonna keep up to a combat class as far as playing, or if you just go gathering / kill random spawns etc. Just waiting on the blasted NDA to fall.

Although I had a tarutaru (the lil guys) monk in XI, so funny watching a midgit kicking the snot out of a giant by kicking and punching his foot..go go pugilist in XIV!!

hmmm.....AoC? I seem to remember i kinda liked the game but it was buggy as hell. Might fire that one up again and see if its improved.

Sigh. RIP Roddy, RIP.

Yeah, tried it. Just couldn't force myself to attempt to go through Tortage again. That and in about 5 mins remembered how sucky it was.
Might try something else. Was a waste of bandwidth downloading that.

You know the MMO scene is dead when Roddy logs in and makes a post

How's things Roddy? It's been a long time.

same old same old wastey. Just waiting for SW to come out i guess. Been firing up old ones lately to see if they spark any interest again and going through them all. What have you been up to?

I'm in ffxiv closed beta now :O

and another game i can't talk about!

beta coming outta my ass

GHEY GIVE ME CODE LA!! I WANT IN QQ /pm me infos plz

Might pass it on they just give you a random account to use.... Let me give it a try first though

I spend my nights fishing in WoW for Mr Pinchy, that's how exciting MMO's are atm...
I'm in the Lego Universe beta, servers are only open on the weekend

That beta is surprisingly fun I must say..might even get a subscription if its not hella overpriced, which considering its aimed at kids, should hopefully make it a cheaper MMO..
