Too bad Ondori quit...

[amodeus]

It looks like this will trounce the iGames festival in Texas. Maybe SageSundi won't dodge all the important questions like he did at the previous one.

[thompkinsthebrian]

its why he is the head GM. all GM are trained to be good at dodging questions, and he is the best. He will be dodging as he can.

Question avoidance skill has increase .2

Unlikely. Sage Sundi has Perfect Dodge with a 30 second recast timer.

(Honestly, why bother making the charade of answering questions if you are not going to bother answering them?)

They just need to stop supporting PS2.

And i'm serious about that.


Because this IS serious business.

[thompkinsthebrian]

actually from what i read most of the people that play and pay the 15 a month are on the PS2. if they stop supporting that they lose most of their customers, that wouldnt be good buisness

[SephYuyX]

If they want to play so much, then they can go buy a PC or xbox360.

Its just a matter of time that the ps2 population will die down with ps3 comming out soon, and less thing shaving to do with the ps2 in general.

sony already helped that a bit with no HD on the thin ps2.


SE could offer some sort of trade in program >.>; "Trade in your PS2 and FFXI and recieve a free copy for your choice of pc or xbox360!"

hmm I own a Apple for work, and I have no interest in 360, plan to buy a PS3 so I guess fuck me huh? I love the way you belittle a minimum $300 purchace(and with a core you'd have to buy a ethernet adapter and harddrive anyway so really 400)

[thompkinsthebrian]

all good points there. not as many people are that into the game where they want to spend that much money. some people havent even bought CoP yet, what makse you think they are going to buy a new computer, upgrade the current one, or buy a new system altogether

[SephYuyX]

Everyone needs to play on PC, so no one can play the 'I play on PS2' card when they bot!

Geez. duh.


Just wait till FFXI is released on the 360, you can link that sucker up to a PC and have access to the 'Super JP Button'. This bitch makes you a SGM and grants you access to Dev Team rights.
