The head start is important if you want to ride the initial wave of aoe grinding mobs.

If you ever stop to do quests or life skills in velia , there is something like 40 hours of quests there, and you will probably fall behind the wave.

I am seriously considering waking up at 1 AM for the 96 hour launch.

This is what happens when my wife is on the other side of the world helping her family. I need a parent.
It kind-of helps that I'm in Europe so I just have to wake up by 9am, but on the other hand I am thinking about some ~20 hour marthon on day one, should the next day schedule allow for it.

This is what I'm looking forward to the most tbh. I'm not worried about being the first to 50...... but I want to be (among) the first to make my own boat.

I will definitely stop at that first fishing village and do a ton of random stuff before I continue leveling. That's what I had the most fun doing in the beta.

I also don't really care about levelling, I found it much more relaxing and interesting doing all the life skill quests in Velia or even just fishing and trading for cash.

I really wish the char creator was still open, probably shoulda spent more time in it. I saved some templates but not any I want to use I think, as it is I'll probably spend like 2 hours in the char creator before playing :v:

As much as I love pvp and end-game shenanigans, if I play an MMO I generally enjoy my way there and make the most of the other systems in the game. I got stuck in Velia for most of CB2 just doing all the poo poo in and around town, and it was awesome.

Rift and GW2 are good games for these guys to look at to fix their model.

Rift went f2p and put their costumes at too high of a price point and ended up losing money and players because of it
GW2 has a great dye system that they should try to mirror as much as possible since being able to play dress up with dolls is a huge reason people keep playing it

But normally this is not within a regional teams control. They have to ask the main developer to do any changes and they may refuse to do it.

Rift now has gear slots (earring slots) locked behind the paywall and you can no longer grind them out with in game currency. You used to be able to but Trion decided they wanted more money from their remaining players so they changed it.

Daum copying Rift's cash shop model now would be a pretty bad thing.

I went back to try out rift awhile ago when they released that single city and new continent. Game was alright for the most part as a f2p game but I wouldn't touch their cash shop prices at all.

That and age of wushu has ruined me where rifts attacking animations look god awful.

What day is the head start for 96 hours? I thought the game officially launches on the 7th, meaning that the 96 hour head start was Thursday the 3rd.

The game officially launches on the 3rd, so the 96hr head start will bring it up to Feb 28th.

I'm a dirty poor so it looks like it's just the 24 hour head start for me. I had way too much fun in this game in the cbt. I'm still torn between playing a witch or a sorceress though. So many decisions.....

Yes. There is effectively no skill level cap though.

You keep earning skill points but you will run out of skills to spend them on.

Then awakening forms come out and there are even more skills.
