    Posted this before but I'm pretty sure they couldn't ban almost 1k legit (non rmt) chars by scanning log files in one fell swoop. It's just too much to process all at one time, so they must have divided the servers up and banhammer will most likely be going down again.

    I wasn't affected by the ban, but was thinking of retiring anyway. Looking at this banning nonsense, I think I just made up my mind.

    Time for something new.

    Something new = WoW for a couple of months, then back to FFXI.

    Ain't that the truth. Anyone who plays FFXI for more than a few months is a total masochist and likes the excruciating pain, and will eventually end up eternally tied to FFXI.

    But seriously...yeah, that's how it happens.

    WoW isn't the only thing on the horizon, Aion online looks like a promising upcoming MMO that a whole ton of asurans are planning on trying out.

    It looks pretty I'm still half tempted to try it out despite the fact I really am not a fan of PvP / Ganking while walking outside safe zones in games (I'm a big PvE guy , or what is known as "Carebare MMO" by mmo communities ).

    It's like a more mature version of WoW with better graphics as it's running on the Crytek engine (Farcry's graphic engine) and more of a PVP focus.

    I would have been sold on WoW or would try Aion when it comes out but the idea of not being able to change classes irritated me so much on WoW that I decided not to play it anymore (rolled a 70 orc warrior and 67 BE dk.) It seems FFXI has that idea trade marked and it's sad that more games won't implement something like it :/

    I played the original NWN and expansions, but heard NWN2 was pretty bad in comparison. Are you finding it any good?

    Try Warhammer Online. I played it for 2 months the Open Realm vs Realm(PvP) is really a nice change of pace from FFXI.

    Lots of new MMO's look pretty, and stuff, and then once they hit the ground they take a huge dump.

    Honestly, the last MMO to have even a semi-successful launch was WoW. The problem is that even pretty and neat MMO's take way too long to come out or come out with zero content. It's hard to justify playing a game like that when there are much better options already available. The way the market exists right now it's difficult to launch a new MMO and compete from the get go.

    Graphics try to compete and fail to keep up with WoW and it has almost no content. It could be good in the future, but it needs more content.

    Yes, I'm liking the NWN2 campaign a lot more than the original one in NWN, although it's not quite as good (yet) at the story in the Hordes of the Underdark NWN expansion.

    In general, NPC characters have a lot of backstory and depth to them, and the graphics are great. The game has tons of atmosphere. Apparently you even get your own fortress in the final Act, but I haven't got that far yet.

    If you take WAR for what it is, a chance to go and fight other players it entertaining. Granted there is no wandering around exploring aspect to it. I had tons of fun doing scenarios and attacking keeps, after 2-3 months though you'll probably get board if not sooner.

    I COMPLETELY agree with this.

    As a game designer, you have to create some kind of identification with your character. If you don't create attachment, then people will come and go as they please and you will not generate customer loyalty. So unless you have 10 million subscribers, you are basically ensuring your own obsolescence.

    Even if a MMO designer has to blatantly rip off FFXI's class system, creating character attachment would help to keep the players with your game like crack.

    I mean look at us? We are playing a 6 year old game, with archaic game design and a development staff that is only truly responsive to one part of the games populous.

    And we fucking love it.

    I'm curious, how many of those banned are still (or even perhaps now moreso) interested in Rapture?
