How about giving us bonus xp when we are not logged on

I love it when history repeats itself.

Ah, so I'm not the only one looking at the past as a roadmap for the future. =D

FFXIV players don't even know what's out there! No wonder they are so happy with the total and utter drivel SE feeds them or, rather, leaves them salivating for.

Despite gift's history of trolling, he's spot on here. A lot of people who followed XI never tried anything else. Granted, game A and game B can't be exactly the same, but having a point of reference for design philosophies, class mechanics, dynamics in group content and such helps when examining design and making comments. Yes, I'll admit it, City of Heroes, WoW and even Lineage II have stronger influence on my opinions as far as what I believe should be in an MMO than FFXI ever will (admitedly, this is because XI followed Everquest closely and I was not a fan of how things were done in EQ).

It reminds me of a conversation I once had with someone in my shell, which was me for about 20 minutes trying to explain to the guy the term HoT. I mentioned HoT and he would think Regen, though Regen and HoT's are not exactly the same. Another instance had me trying to explain abilities like Soul Tap and Body to Mind, and no one in the group seemed to understand that they are very different from Convert. Good times. >.>;;;
