Can we get an idea on what to expect from the open world in version 2? (A bit long)

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.

You're welcome. I'm really psyched that the 17 words and the blog entry have resonated with people the way they have, not only on this thread, but in plenty of private messages and conversations in my world. I think they condense plenty of what unites people that, like me, started with EQ, moved on to DAoC, then FFXI, and became suddenly aware that we were living a golden age of sorts. Alas, it was soon to be over. Here's my full glass to the dream that FFXIV v. 2.0 (and perhaps, why not, EQ 3) brings us the Renaissance.
