After thinking on it, reflecting on the comments and words of encouragement I’ve received, I’ve decided that the best option in discussing the highs and lows of FFXIV is to simply share my own experiences and write about it without trying to convince anyone either way. Early on, I think I did a decent job …
Hey Guys, Another week, another Multiverse! This week, the part of Riknas is being played by Jeremy of the MMO Voices podcast! We always have a good time when members of the MMOV crew join us and this time was no different. Thanks to him for joining us and best of luck to Riknas who …
I give. Throughout my time with FFXIV, I’ve tried to be objective, but perhaps I’m guilty of investing myself too much in trying to share something I enjoy. As much as I like it, I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s no point in trying to fight the tide of bad press and player opinion. …
Update: And here’s this week’s Lagwar article: The War on the Subscription. Enjoy! Forgive me interwebz, for while the doors to my virtual haunt have been open, I haven’t been here to keep you company. It’s always unfortunate when I’m pulled away right when the ol’ blog gets a round of attention (thanks Massively!). It’s …
While I tend to get most of my gaming news on the internet, when I saw the latest issue of EGM magazine (issue 241.0), I had to pick it up. Since the magazine started back up, they’ve been doing an excellent job of getting unique interviews and scoops from inside the industry. This issue was …

Together they write the Spouse Aggro blog and podcast. Separately, Beau is a columnist for Massively and writes the Free For All and Rise and Shiny …
Wolfshead’s latest post talks about the failing state of chat in MMOs today. Like all of his posts, it’s an enjoyable read and is delivered with all of the experience and eloquence we’ve come to expect from him. In it, he postulates that the current silence dominating 5-mans is an early indicator of MMOs losing …
My MMO time of late has been spent doing what I enjoy most: leveling. Maybe that’s why I’ve been having so much fun in FFXIV, there’s always something to do. When I came in, I knew about the open class system, but I didn’t anticipate branching out into the different professions so much; usually I’m not …
That might seem like a basic question but I’ve honestly been wondering what our expectation is. When you buy-in for a pre-order on a new game, securing an extra week of “headstart” time, does that mean you should expect the full launch candidate product or a restricted preview-based version? The Case of the Missing Content …
Yesterday I posted a list of reasons why I think you may want to wait to pick up FFXIV. Despite that, I was there on day one to pick up the Collector’s Edition. As you can surmise, there are lots of reasons why I think this game is worth playing– even now, when lots of …
