Like I said she is not in a hurry and it is here first MMO well to be fair it is here first "real game" outside of handy apps.


Sadly, more people just don't get how fun all of that can be. I remember a ton of good times doing nothing that advanced my character. Riding the ships just because (and not just on FFXI, there were times on WoW I'd just cross to the other continent for no real reason). Wandering the landscape to see what lies over the next hill. What's more awesome is hearing my fiancee experiencing it. I've almost gotten numb to the sheer beauty in FFXIV simply because I was so used to how FFXI was beautiful compared to its competition.

I really miss sitting watching the airships leave and arrive Windurst. Windmills in the forefront while chatting with friends. I say it all the time even as I get older with more and more RL scenarios keeping me away... I wait for the day for MMO's to have a roots revolution. I wait for the day 'RPG' is put back into MMORPG.

Starting and stopping multiple classes/characters could mean two things:
1)You don't like the combat system and prefer more action based combat. Your comment on TERA gives me this impression.
2)You are an altoholic, and this game doesn't try hard to encourage that. It favors one character does it all.

If you haven't indulged in the grouping aspects of ARR, you do yourself a disservice. In my opinion TERA is more fun to play solo but ARR's strength is grouping up.

My problem with the game is flow. It is more intuitive than it's cousin, but lacks an open feel to it. What I mean by open is more decent alternatives for grouping in between the queues for things. However, friends make that wait all the more exciting! Other than actual content, the game is what you make it.

Are you like this? How do you feel in supermarket lines?


Are you like this?Do you have fun interacting with others even though you aren't in a click?


This is what friends bring even when you are doing the same old thing you have done before.

Hello Everyone
I deleted a lot of characters, played a lot with the character creator, got to lvl 13, I'm bored


I think I found your problem. You haven't really played the game yet. From the looks of it, the farthest you've gotten is beginning game mechanics. Before saying the game is boring, You should first make your way through some of the story, get atleast lvl 20-25 on 1 character as well as the lvl 20-25 portion of the story. Get yourself out of the starting area. As you progress through the story and quests, you will also gain access to some enjoyable content. Right now, you haven't seen any content worth while. =)

Because getting to LV 13 takes about half an hour.


For players who know what they are doing may be.
My GF is Level 8 with like 30 hours of playtime.
She's not in a hurry and it's her first MMO.


That is very very impressive. Might I ask how? I mean you get good exp from everything, from exploring new areas quest killing mobs logs fates, I just find it hard to think that after 30 hrs of game play you would only be at 8,

Still find that hard to believe, is it is near impossible to play this game 30 hours and be level 8, means you would have not touched combat mechanics or the story. Or walked outside of the city or talked to npc. Everything you do in this game feeds you xp and tool tips opens up as you reach a point where that action becomes available, which means you did something to get exp.
