Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
Why is the JP community a lot tighter than the Engrish one? Example: I shouted for Rune body Orobon NM fight for an hour yesterday and got 0 response. This morning, I hook up with a JP Run needing same fight. He shouted and 35 minutes later we had a full alliance. Is that the secret of the JP Button?

With how wide,varied and socially accepted most of the internet is now a days,I dont think the stigma is as bad as it used to be. Yes,there are gonna be sleazy fools trying their hand,but you have that in RL too. I mean at the end of the day,it's still a common interet between 2 people,who are most likely shy or have bad social skills. You meet someone at the gym,common interest,fitness/gym. Meet someone at a bar,common interest,being easy. etc

NA/EU is based on the total opposite,*** people over to get what you want asap and breaking the *** out.

I would say the Japanese are more loyal to XI than everyone else. A lot of people have moved on from XI. Hell I still remember when WoW came out my entire linkshell broke up over that game. A lot of people never came back that was early 2000's. The notion of people sticking with a game for 10 years just doesn't happen in many games.

NA and EU also. applecrunch said: » Honestly if you asked the Japanese they would probably want their own servers. you mean like they have now? :P (XIV) although I saw a few JPs on excal

Josiahkf said: » I would prefer a server with all english speakers as well lol The allure of the EU server to me is the timezone. In XI it was always hard to find GMT shells,and staying up to 2am every night just to START an event.........ugh can only do it for so long Yea I think they failed to realize that putting two vastly different cultures together didn't work out too well. I don't see anyone talking about JP/NA linkshell even if you could speak Japanese. There are a lot of barriers to make it work.
Went to gamestop after my shower to throw some money off some of my many preorders. They had my ARR collector's edition there. It was sexy looking.
My current outstanding preorders are.... GTA5 Collector's Edition X360 €70 paid Xbox One Day One Edition €170 paid Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster PS3 €10 paid Playstation 4 €70 paid Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix PS3 €10 paid Dead Rising 3 X1 €10 paid Beyond:Two Souls Special Edition PS3 €10 paid FFXIV:ARR Collector's Edition PS3 €60 paid Not factoring in Pokemon X/Y,Zelda HD,Donkey Kong,A PS4 game (if I actually bother picking up my ps4) and my weekend in dublin for the anime convention x_x Josiahkf said: » the cultural differences are staggering at times yeah. Also a full alliance for the orobon? yup, 22 minute fight. So i'm online and at the aetheryte in gridania with exact one other person xD
I kinda like this. applecrunch said: » Also it is a bit creepy trying to pick someone up in a game for me at least. I only find it creepy when that is all a person plays an mmo for. If two people enjoy a hobby, spend hours doing something together, it is understandable that they may eventually find one another attractive or develop feelings. Ultimate Frisbee Team, knitting group, pub crawl group, MMO or tandem cycling team.

What are these feelings you speak of ?

This barbecue is assuaging my rage though. Mat Zilla said: » Hnggg 2 and a half more hours This barbecue is assuaging my rage though. I thought it's 55 mins till servers up? TANDEM CYCLING IS FOR BUFF LEG DAY!
....and I call back so you can't see when I am not pedaling :3  applecrunch said: » I can't go into gamestop without feeling dirty afterwards. I used to feel immense shame when I left my gamestop. Because I'd always be psyched up to ask the hot girl out,and then pussy out and hate myself after it,hence the shame that I couldnt follow through  Shiva.Bailiegrace said: » TANDEM CYCLING IS FOR BUFF LEG DAY! ....and I call back so you can't see when I am not pedaling :3 "bai are those your feet on my back?" "NOPE IM PEDDLING!" Good thing I've got strong enough legs,even with the damaged one lol Mat Zilla said: » Yeah the instance server broke. Maint started 2 hours ago,should be finished in approximately 50 mins i was on gugnir legacy JP server and a lot spoke english.
btw, you can always make a char on those servers cause when they had maintenance in beta, they left jp servers up. at least it was up on gugnir when that happened |
