Features of other MMO you would like to see.

EE's system was based around XI's job/subjob change system, the one thing that differentiated it was you could:

Level class 1 - Learn a class trait
Level class 2 - Learn a class trait
Level class 3 and equip trait from class 1 and 2 if you so chose, which was up to 3 I think? Might be different now since I haven't played it since summerish.

All that's really known about the new job system is some will have dual class requirements, like PLD requires Marauder and Gladiator leveled to unlock, but the exp gained as PLD will go towards Gladiator and vice versa, since he mentioned 'job stones' of some type which means it may be the same way as Sentinel is an 'add-on' to Gladiator, Conjurer and Thaumaturge.

Could you guys go into a little detail about some of these ideas? For example, I have not played Eve and have no idea what the contracts are about. Plus, if you give your insight into why this might work FF14, that would be cool.

A contract is exactly what it sounds like. A player puts up a contract (sell, buy, or courier) for a certain item that is usually rare and can't be found on the market. There's a bit more to it than that, the specifics of which would take me too long to explain. In EVE it's a good way to relieve dumb people of their money.

It would probably be a bit redundant in this game. What would be the point of them in XIV? Courier services aren't really needed because FFXIV has no PVP and as a result any good ol' bear will just carry his stuff himself. Buy/sell contracts would be pointless because the rare stuff can't be traded in any manner. So basically, it would be a different version of the market wards that is easily manipulated.

I'm not sure who suggested this, but it makes no sense.

I love EVE Online. There's no other game like it, but the only thing I could ever see working in XIV is their market system.

YES PLEASE.

Buy/sell contracts would be pointless because the rare stuff can't be traded in any manner.

I am assuming that rare stuff can be traded. The most powerful(rarest) items such as 5 materia equipment are obtained through the usage of economy, not fighting after all.

I'd love to see a campaign/conquest system brought into the world of XIV (similar to that of XI).

More dynamic content like that of the public quests in WAR, or the Rifts in Rift.
I like the ability for things to change in the world and people band together to fight them off.
I would love to see "living NPCs" in the world of XIV, most NPCs just stand in once place and never move, get tired, go to their homes, etc. While that might cause issues, they could always have a replacement take their shift... Anyway, one of the coolest moments I had in Wow was when I was in a small town and this big monster walks up to the town and all the NPCs and myself start fighting this mob. It really brought a feeling that the world was alive, even though this town gets attacked by this mob pretty often, I thought it was a nice touch.

Most the standard features of the MMO world, others have listed them off and I agree they should be added.

[Lavani]

Anything and everything from wow should be added.










Rage away.

SWTOR's companion system would be great.

[Duuude007]

Theres very little that I liked from Wow...

...That being said...

WoW had a massive world event which even had competition (with incentives) between servers.
It would be great to have something in that vein.
