I would say I am looking forward to guild created content, the type of content that I have only seen in a game like EvE online.  - Robert (aka Grunk)

I'll do you one better:

HAY!!!111

His only level 64!

Thats a really old webiste lol.

[Endie]

Awesome.  I thought it might die a couple of pages ago but...



PS For the sake of the server stability some of you are going to have to spread out to other threads until we reinforce this node.

[Bunk]

Do I need a special world pass thingy to play with you guys on this server?!?

[Abelian75]

Genki is amazing and imo should be put in to every mmo. Everything should be earned, players should be tested, only the dedicated should remain because quite frankly, those who aren’t are wasting my time. Those who aren’t end up sneaking into high end guilds (and jesus Christ some times leading them)turning away good players because you already have 10 of XX class which 8/10 are 12 year olds shouting "BBQ" this and that /vomit. IE WORLD OF WARCRAFT END GAME.

Preach on, brotha!

Man, google picks up a lot of you.

[grunk]

nah, no more world pass. you can actually choose w/e server you wana play on (lol, i dont work for SE, im just a strung out NSE)

[schild]

im just a strung out

We know.

And so do your doctors.

Man, google picks up a lot of you.

That's because he's a BanEater. He goes around to any website he hasn't been to, and acts his age until he gets banned. Surely he's always shocked when it happens. Either that or he goes to whatever website isn't blocked by the firewall at the halfway house.

[DeathInABottle]

My meeting got cancelled, and it gave me enougn time to read this entire thread.  Thank you, cancelled meeting, and thank you grunk.

[Signe]

EEK!  I just exposed my smiley boobies to a 12 year old.  I'm going to jail, aren't I?  PANIC! 

[Slayerik]

Could I get a grief title of "Grunk Worshipper" ? ;)

and you know this how? I have not been banned from any website. In fact, if you were not a mod, one could say you would be banned for making up such bs.

Graphs to follow.  All three pages looked like this.  Note that a lot of these people aren't contributing jack.



PS BBQ reference requested and received by Grunk.

Some of us spend almost as much time on the Intertron as you do sucking dick for coke.

Coke might be a tad bit too high class. I'm thinking more along the lines of some lysol and a paper bag.

HAY GUY, WHEN YOU BUY AN OFFLINE GAME DO YOU BUY THE STRAT GUIDE WITH IT? GUY? ARE YOU THAT LAZY AND RETARDED THAT YOU CANT ACTUALLY READ... HAY GUY, I NEVER USED ONLINE HELP GUIDES AND WHEN I DID, IT TOOK ME NO MORE THEN 15 MINS TO FIND WHERE I WAS STUCK AT? HEY GUY, YOU KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED WINDOWER? HAY GUY, YOU FAIL... OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT... BECAUSE WHY ELSE WOULD YOU BE PLAYING THE FISHER PRICE MMO KNOWN AS WOW... OK GUY?

I bet other people in rehab make fun of him for being in there for huffing. Most asked question during group: "What's your favorite color of paint?" Likely Nickname Amongst The Other Kids: Dutch Boy.

You know what must be done.

EDIT: Man, his shit list on his website is awesome.

Most people know me, know that i am very easy going dude.

I stopped reading there.

[LK]

As great as it is to make fun of him and his extremely backward views, a part of me wants to take him outside and beat the stupid out of him.

He'd be dead long before the stupid could be fully exorcised.

I stayed at work until 5:06 reading the last two pages. Damn you GRUUUNK!!! You so uber me jealous~!@

About FFXI being an "hardcore" stereotype you are mostly right. This is a quote from the most recent interview with the producer. These words may sound familiar:

First of all, about not having the drop rate be as good as people want it to be it’s because we want people to go back and play Einherjar many times, so that they get a continuous type of challenge. And if it’s too easy the world will be filled with the abjurations and everyone will have that and it won’t be something that has that mystic feel to it like, “I have it, look at me.”

That said they are FINALLY adding official windowed mode to the game.

And I disagree that FFXI lacks attraction power. I'm pretty sure that with some simple but aggressive changes the game would draw some relevant attention:

- windowed mode
- skip Playonline to get in the game
- a billing system that makes sense
- no deleting accounts after 3 months off

- Revamped quest system
- "Permeable" level system (meaning you can delevel your character)
- More forgiving group composition
- Consistent nerf of major quest/missions cockblocks
- Faster travel, especially across the world and especially for low levels

In particular FFXI party system is punishing because you get MAJOR penalties to XP if you group with a player just a few levels above. Considering that FFXI MAIN problem is the downtime due to LFG issues, I think that a mentor/delevel system along with a more forgiving group composition would have some major, positive impact on the game.

That said, FFXI is super grindy but it also has tons of quality content that is top-notch. The game is huge and with cool stuff. It has the potential to be loved if only it let players enjoy it.

It's not like in other games where the grind is there to hide the fact that there's no content or that the content is poor. FFXI is one of the best, if not the very best online worlds. It's just crippled to unplayable levels by bad design choices that would also be quite easy to revert. If only they had a clue and there wasn't the language barrier between us and them.

[murdoc]

Holy fuck, just when I thought this thread was losing steam and potential, along comes HRose.

[Evil Elvis]

Reading this thread is like having your naughty bits touched by a boxcar full of hobos.

In a bad way.

Yep, if only we knew at the start that all that stands between FFXI and WoW is a billing system upgrade and windowed mode, gosh darn it, we'd be on level^H^H^H^H^H page 20 by now.

IMO, this guy, who logs on for 2 hours a day. He doesnt exist.

I feel like a fish biting on a lure just by replying, but oh well. The vast majority of my gametime in WoW has been about two hours or less a night, more on weekends.

FFXI was my first MMO. I really liked it for a while. I still think it has fantastic art design and a wonderful world that was a lot of fun to explore. But simply, forced grouping eventually just broke the experience for me. When I realized I was logging on and waiting 1-2 hours before I actually could play the game ... the amount of my time the game wasted was just not worth it. Being married with two kids, this game style just doesn't work, it is too much of a timesink.

[Chenghiz]

Oh man this is the best troll thread ever. Thanks for making my day, grunk.

This has inspired me to produce "art". I'm soooo sorry.

There can be a bad way? grunk had me convinced otherwise.

What can I say about F13?  It's really my favorite website in the entire universe!  I love the irreverent banter and sly wit these keyboard jockeys produce.  And I especially love the staff, they're AWESOME.

My god, this thread is all kinds of messed up mixed with awesome.

We really need a samprimary comic for this one to make it complete.

[CmdrSlack]

E for Epic Fail?

My gf is really hot and she totally digs me. Her only problem is that every so often she kicks me as hard as she can in the ballsack with stiletto heels for no reason. If only she wouldn't do that our relationship would be perfect.

I suppose it could be worse, she could be stomping on them.
