This quote, I already included in another post of mine, but that was buried on dead-leg of a long thread, and I think it deserves to be read, as does the entire blog entry from which it comes. R

Thanks a bunch for this link. I think this is the first time I've generally agreed with a single blog poster this much, and almost everything he mentions in his good hopes for EQ3 could just as much apply to FFXIV. And I'd like to see that happen.
