Good catch thanks.

cool, integration for FB and twitter confirmed, plus they want the app ready for the release. Very nice

P.s it's funny that yoshi said that they'cant hear 100% what the current player base is asking, cuz they only played Xi or XIV. So they have very poor experience in mmo terms. This is a thing that i said many times before lol

I say that over and over on these boards... albeit way harsher.

That quote was so good that I'm sigging it for a while.

Definitely. I feel this is true, when so many are complaining about trivial things like, jumping is unrealistic. Falling off cliff and taking damage is unrealistic. Jumping mounts are gonna be so ugly. Leave inventory like FFXI, instead of icons. Like come on. Have they ever played another MMO? Once you've tried what other MMOs have, you know it's not a big deal.

A lot of people tend to be children about the games they play. World of Warcraft is the competition of Final Fantasy XI? Then it's clearly awful and not worth touching ever! Like, it's alright to not like things, but blindly hating them is so dumb.

Stuff isn't worth liking if you can't pick sides and defend it with your e-life.

This.

My hobby is beta testing MMOs...I swear, its like some players want this to be the most backwards, dated MMO ever, and the Twelve forbid using some of the improvements that are available in other MMOs to streamline gameplay (because that would be "copying"!). It sounds like Yoshi gets it.

And this game desperately NEEDS improvements if it is ever going survive as a viable, cash generating MMORPG on the modern PC market, because PC gamers are brutal about this, they are not a captive audience like a console player. You can't slap a 10 year old, laggy console UI on a modern PC MMORPG and expect it to do well.

May I correct your 2nd paragraph? what you said, but add : And this game desperately NEEDS improvements if it is ever going to BE A FUN TO PLAY MMORPG on the modern PC market, because PC gamers DEMAND this, they are not a captive audience like your console player. Slap a 10 year old laggy conolse UI on a modern PC MMORPG and expect it to fail.
