Well we've had about a week to play with the newly added content, what are the lasting impressions / opinions on it now?
I can't think of anything too bad to say about it really. I have not done any of the story content yet, but I heard as usual its rather short. ZNM seems to be a really good system, and making use of an otherwise unused portion of the game (pankration) again. Slightly annoying but hey, its really not that bad.
Ixion is both good and bad. 21-24 hour is good. Griefing is a little too easy, but it sure is an interestng way to claim a mob. Kind of sucks you have to have specific jobs to claim it tho (RNG or NIN).
Merit upgrades are always welcome. Inventory (storage) upgrades are amazing. Fellows are fun, I need to bring my 65 out and to 70.
So what do you all think? Possibly the best update in.. a very, very long time.
