Question regarding blogs up on the Lodestone

[Teryaani]

If you want, you can filter the blogs on the Lodestone main page by realm. Might not be that Japanese are more into blogging, it might be that it sorts by a certain Realm first that happens to be Japanese.

It's by post date I think (by default). The JP players do blog more than the NA/EU folks do, but I do what you do and just filter it.

Their users don't get banned. Q_Q

Forum bans are easier to get.

The JP players are posting blogs nigh constantly. I think a good chunk of the playerbase actually uses the blogs.

A smaller fraction of NA players use theirs, but the ones that do are active about it. But because there's less of us the JP posts flood the community wall and ours get pushed down (it's based on post date/time, older ones fall off), so it looks like we don't have anything.

But we do.

And you can also get banned from the lodestone blogs/comments system. It's pretty easy to do as well, lol.

Oh, it happens. But I've eaten a forum ban but never gotten a lodestone ban. And I'm me in both places!

Jaypee is more cute.

No...it really isn't

I tried to back during 2.0/2.1 but just felt that no one really gave a crap about my experiences ingame or what I've been up to/felt about X content or Y character etc, so I just kinda stopped, now I just annoy my fiance with my incessant talking about this or that or the other until she tells me "I DONT CARE!!" =P (And then I talk a little more about it, just to spite, cuz that's what a good spouse does, right?)

[AskaRay]

Personally how I view blogs as a whole is "I don't care"... however I think they are important which is why I try so hard to keep one or two. They are a good snapshot of life- in this case, a popular video game played by thousands. Each person's experience is different and in the future that'll be good to read about.

So, I think more people should keep blogs, not for other people but for themselves (and the future).

[KaitlanKela]

For what it's worth, I don't find that people don't care. Honestly, I don't get a lot of comments but I do get views: I get about 100 views an entry within a week or so. I have a few people following me. If you have something that interests people, they'll read it. Mine's fanfic, but I know people get lots of comments on the game play critique or personal journaling type stuff too.

It's just a perspective question. I give my opinion and you disagreed with it. For me you are the only troll here.

Let's complete the trifecta here, what are you thoughts on console vs PC?

If you're going to go overboard, you may as well go really overboard.

<kicks rock glumly> Fine, I'll stop.

On topic, this reminds me that my blogs are horribly neglected.
