    Interface looks sleek. I hope however lower resolutions have been kept in mind - some peeps still run 1024*786

    Looking forward to R8RR :)

    Sparkie. A very very important question. Are the models and our version of the rank 9 rerecast gears of those new classes ready at release? I'm asking this because I wanna get it asap and we had a delay when earthguards have been released...that would really be...unpleasant.

    So would be nice if you could clear that up. Thanks alot.

    Can we still use the current interface via editing like people do now for the old one or will I be stuck with the ugly new interface?

    From what I've been told, the 8.5 and rank 9 gear is ready to go and has been tested on the new races/classes.

    All I hope this brings new people and one of these classes completely wreck endgame sins even w/o equal gear they NEED to finally have a disadvantage xD. Hoping StormBringers are just that because the Duskblade debuffs like crazy but SAGE TIDAL PROTECTION FTW ----____----

    Sparkie, please tell us that they're going to finally expand the character slots (Per Server/Account) "like many of us have been asking for ~Since time immemorial~" b:surrender

    Some of us don't wanna do (dual clienting) /or/ continue to add more characters on other (Rarely used) servers, that we go on too only to level our other classes of characters that are in excess of the "8 spots" that we got limited too on our (Primary Servers) ~ Just once it would be nice to see them do something to help fix "the simple things" like the "Too Many Classes to Make 'with' Not Enough Spots per (server) bit


    We'd like to add our new characters to our primary server lists, with our already established financial & crafting able RA~characters and their already "stashable account banks" rather then send them into exile elswhere, onto servers that we shouldn't have had to fall back upon in the first place....b:surrenderb:surrender

    The stormbringer class will totally wreck anything if played right. Their basic ~45% pdmg reduction will give them the upperhand on sins for sure especially since that class doesn't need to stop moving + anti-stun skill + purify proc. All other classes need to stand still to attack, that gives the sins plenty of time to reach them. That won't happen here. Stormbringer >>> Assassin.

    Don't believe me? xDD I'll show you^^ so keep an close Eye on my YT channel for upcoming Stormbirnger PvP-Videos.

    Hey Sparkie, 2 quick questions that shouldn't compromise any secret whatever stuff.

    1. will r9 3rd cast be obtained via warsong like all the other classes or new way like that new instance?

    2. How will their new skill books be implented into the game, are you guys editing all the 89-100 instance bosses to add in more books, or will they be like the earthguards where you can obtain every skill book from page of fate, token books, and old book pages?

    I'm very curious to see this happen ^_^

    I'm not sure when I'll get to the starter area, My first avatar isn't even L80 from my off and on playing since way back when >.< (my own fault but I've finally tried progressing and making progress!) I didn't even take a look at the Primal World starting areas, so that's my miss, le sigh.

    The changeable instances sound really promising, but are those just for upper levels, or do they include L55 - 85 since that's mentioned same paragraph?


    Also not sure about 'easier starting' for new characters by making early quests easier. I think I started '09, and I found quests easy enough then, until the first fb19. Back then I remember thinking people complaining about having to grind 60-80+ mobs sounded lazy, so I've felt a bit gypped that now those quests seem to max at 20! (I know they've changed because of a lot of the text saying sixty, the tracker saying 20).

    My gut says leveling too fast, too early also discourages players because a) can't keep up the leveling rate and that plateau's so discouraging and b) rushing to get to the higher levels for the 'good gear'/events/etc. doesn't encourage sustainabilty. I think Rebirth helps encourage some people to play longer, but it would have been more natural to gain xp slower the second/third time around. Perhaps not better, but definitely more natural.

    Of course those are irrelevant personal opinions. My view on the whole journey vs destination schtick.


    And just checking that it is Duskblade and not Duskablade?

    Just how long will you wait? Cause I'm thinking that the 16th is about a week before Winter/Christmas break when a lot of the under 18 crowd will have a lot of spare time for playing online (not that that means they will play in PW, but you never know...)

    So don't wait, to get a jump on the brats, or do wait and play with the brats, or really wait and play with hardly anyone at all?
