Worried about where the game is going

[yukikaze_yanagi]

I am worried of all the threads with cloned title. no, i'm not worried, yes, i welcome open world content, no i don't want anything nearly close to open world exp pt, hnm, claim wars etc.
For all the rest, give the game time. In whatever game you'll jump later, be ESO, wildstar, whatever new shit comes, you'll not find more content at launch than you have now in ffxiv.

I remember reading all the "Worried about the game" threads on SWTOR thinking that they were all lunatics.

Game ended up going F2P then effectively being ran into a piece of shit.

I think that is EA's modus operandi. Hype a game to immense levels using fan expectation based on past success (Sim City, SW: The Old Republic), launch several different versions of the game to immense excitement and mucho monies being spent. People then realise they've been duped but there money is gone - development house owned by EA is forever besmirched and EA laughs all the way to the bank.

Sim City, you broke my heart.

ummm...

I don't know about you, but...

in FFXI, I grinded my MNK from lvl 1 to 99 in like 3-4 days, and that's between RL stuff going in the way. Would count that like almost 2 days if I play non stop.
That's less than an hour to lvl 10 soloing, hitting Gusgen Mines till lvl 30 in several hours, Crawler's Nest till lvl 55 several hours, Bosta till lvl 75, and worm party in La Theine abyssea till capped.

And I capped my H2H skilling to 424 in less than a week, just by hitting hard-checked mobs in abyssea too. Granted, I do that because back then MNK is the easiest job to join Adoulin content.

Gearing up on the other hand, is a whole different matters. lol

SWTOR is actually doing pretty well now, and has improved a lot. It's even getting free flight space pvp soon.

I log in once a week , I run WP bout 10 times , then log off . If Im lucky I will get a coil group , but im not in static coil group because I have work commitments, you know a real job

Anyways , I find this game is a lot of fun even tho it is only 1 dungeon mostly (WP) . Sometimes I wait a long long time in DF que to get group , unless Im tanking that is .

Really did I just see the RL card pulled? I have a very real, very demanding full-time job *and* a coil static with friends from RL or that I've met in-game or prior games. If you are dedicated there is no reason anyone cannot pull together two consecutive hours to get turns 1-4 done. It can be done in less time but sometimes things go wrong

You have ESO, Everquest Next and Titan on the horizon and I'll admit right now I'll try out Wildstar (I've applied for Beta), I love this game, but I loathe running constant dungeons; I only do it under duress as it's the only way I can get better gear. Right now I use crafting and gathering as an excuse not to spam WP and AK, soon I'll not have that option and I may find myself saying "Why should I login today?"

This is what I'm curious to find out. As far as I know ARR has been successful thus far because of it's status in the MMORPG market (i.e. it's the newest, shiniest, latest game for people to play). When the next batch of MMORPGs come out, how many will stay and will content be tailored for those that do, or will it be for those who leave in an attempt to bring them back?

Yeah you can do that now, not when the game came out. And that is when you should compare the leveling. Use your brain.
