What ever kind of Ice tea you're drinking, please share it with the rest of us and make sure you hand a few glasses to Square Enix!

I mix Orange juice crystals with Fo-Ti root and Gotu Kola. It tastes a bit like Ice Tea.

and nah, that's just a 'word' slip up on my part writing a long first post. I don't think Star Wars 'failed'. i'm sure it provides enjoyment to many of its players who will play the game during its 10+ year lifespan, during which time updates and refinements will be made etc. It's Star Wars. What i was attempting to communicate is that it seems destined to only ever be another surviving MMO with good qualities and bad qualities and a good, but never overwhelming player base.

...as seems to have been the case with every non WoW MMO. I`m okay with that. I don`t like Justin bieber anyways.
Maybe that just IS the future of MMOs generally, which would make sense. one big bieber and a whole bunch of other quality surviving titles. I certainly hope that this time around, Phantasy Star is one of them. I have a copy of the first title on my shelf still.

it is looking more and more to me as though FFXIV will be able to join this modest group of `surviving`titles, which gives me a lot of happiness.

But... and i know this has been beaten around before,
i really wish SE would throw more media at us.
Videos, screenshots, all kinds of stuff, leak things!
Let it go viral in this coming year everything they can throw at us and let that be the advertising.
This resource is ... as always, going sadly untapped.

Edit: Well, better tapped than in other cases of SE games throughout history, but much moar tapping could be done.
