Precisely! biggrin

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz........im bored as hell right now xd  

[Volkenheim]

Me, too. I've been think of what MMO to play. I have so many MMORPGs to play with and already have memberships to! There's RuneScape, Flyff, Final Fantasy XI, MapleStory, Dungeon Fighter Online, Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst (private server), Mabinogi Online, Luna Online, and even Phantasy Star Zero (Nintendo DS)! I've even been thinking of downloading either Team Fortress Classic from Steam or that new Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth on from the Wii's WiiWare service.

i dont usually play MMOs. they lag too much  

[Volkenheim]

I can't argue with that statement. That's why I normally log in servers with less people so 1)it would be easier on my computer, and 2) I don't have to be bothered by trollers and meaningless and bullshit trades because I hear that all sorts of crazy s**t can go down in a MMO. I remember this one time where in MapleStory, some stupid hackers (I think...) in one of the servers kept stealing all the monsters in the area by using some sort of "monster magnet hack trick".  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

WTF?!?!? thats weird! but i usually get bored from playing MMOs too  

[Volkenheim]

Same here. It's usually the grinding part of an MMO that gets to bore the player first, though, especially when there are no fun quests (or mini-quests) to take to shake that boredom off as you grind at the same time. MapleStory is often good with that grinding issue; they say that higher level players actually take a month or two to actually achieve a new level.  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

well, i guess thats the saem way with final fantasy, but that is waaaaaaaay more awesome  

[Volkenheim]

Yeah, I like Final Fantasy better. Every game in the series tends to have lots of exciting challenges that just keep the game rolling along the right path. Some of these challenges are ridiculous, though; in Final Fantasy 12, in order to get the strongest weapon in the game, the Zodiac Spear, you cannot open certain treasure chests in earliest parts of the game.  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

oh i know! i just ended up opening the chests anyway. it's the only weapon i never got, but i did get ALL the espers, even Zodiark!  

[Volkenheim]

I love the espers in Final Fantasy XII; they make direct references to various villains throughout the entire series, such as Zeromus (FF4), Chaos (FF1), and Cloud of Darkness (FF3)! xd  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

Cloud of darkness?  

[Volkenheim]

Yeah. She/It's this demon-thing that looks like a semi-naked woman with snake-like tentacles coming from her body. She's the main antagonist of Final Fantasy III that wishes to plunge the whole world into this state of nothingness know as the Void by causing an imbalance in light and dark.

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

okay, i see now. Famfrit was the reference to her. That makes sense  

[Volkenheim]

The Espers have really fascinating backstories; it makes them look more epicly fiercer than they already are! xd Also, they even have the best signature moves compared to any other summon monster in the series!
