You have to find the executable deep in the folders to get it to work, the execrable that shortcut lead to would only launch battle.net client.

I have tried to add the launcher and the games' exe but shift-tab still does not work. I even tried to add the Battle.net launcher itself on Steam, but still no good. I swear I was able to make them work before.

Not bad, just $2 more than FF14, another MMO I've been eager to start.

If I buy the latest expansion pack of WoW, will all the previous ones comes with it or do I have to buy each of them individually?
Click to expand...

Right now, the base version of WoW with expansions up to Mists of Pandaria is $20, and it comes with a month of free play time.

It's $10 for the newest expansion, Warlords of Draenor, and that includes a level 90 boosted character.

If you want to pay for 3 months at once, you can pay the average of ~$12.99 like XIV.

Oh man, that's extremely tempting.

Now the choice comes down to either WoW or FF14, one of which will become my first ever MMO.

It's likely just the make-up that's making her look that young.

Most female cosplayers I've run into are in their late 20's.

Indeed. But there's a growing trend of teens, and even children cosplayers as well nowadays.

As much as I loved WoW, I'd still recommend FFXIV.

But if you're not a FF fan, don't bother with it. The game is all about fanservice.

Only Blizzard game I've been interested in is Overwatch. Not into MMO's, MOBAs, or Card games really.

Then again I wasn't really into team shooters before the OW beta either. *shrug*

WoW became an extremely annoying grind I regretted. Just sayin.

I don't mind grinding in general, but more importantly, which of these two games can I solo relatively easily?

Sort of leaning towards FF14 because I've heard good things about the story, and since it's also the only modern FF I haven't played yet (same with FF11).

World of Warcraft is far more solo friendly. The entire 1-100 experience is solo content at this point.

When I played, to roll with anyone you needed to be roughly around their level, which is super annoying to attain. When you get around to rolling with them it's all end fights, be it instance queues or raids. Everyone is already and nearly exclusively doing the new content because there is no way to play the old content without becoming way overleveled for it as you do. So while technically the storylines are there, the content is not there as a legitimate means of going through it. All that was designed for a progression that is gone now, and all MMO battles are for an endgame that is obsolete. It's all about the new endgame from the latest expansion and the old stories are probably only technically still there because Blizzard would have had to do more work to delete them. So there is no catching up on missed years for the newcomer, just jumping in and grinding on the new expansion to hopefully get near where players on the new expansion won't hate you.

I don't know if FF is better for a newcomer or person soloing, but WoW is garbage for that.

Doom finally overtook FFX/X2 on top sellers it seems.

So Doom is good, huh. Good.

Reviewed very well at 92% positive.

Deques said:
I'd like to see numbers of these two games :p
Click to expand...

Doom will be much more, no doubt. But I hope FFX is doing well.

Judging from the all-time peak which is currently sitting at 3k, it's way lower than FFIX which has 8k all-time peak players on launch day. FFX will have around 50k owners by next week, I guess.

You should play Diablo 3 then.

Some divergent views here, but I appreciate the input nonetheless.

I'll do more research on these games before pulling the trigger.

Cheers, guys.

I'm not sure we disagree. 1-100 solo in the Draenor storyline is easier than ever from everything I have read. However, if you think going and doing any of the stuff before Draenor is going to be cool, it's not. You have to pretty much start a new character for each expansion and intentionally avoid accidentally starting questlines from expansions that overlap the same areas in the world, then they aren't really fun to solo and classes all have their balancing set to Draenor now anyway, and hardly anyone is doing the old content to jump in with them for the instances and raids which are the high points for each expansion storyline. If you could somehow find a guild that wanted to dedicate themselves to going through each old expansion together, it would technically be possible to have a good time then, but otherwise it sucks.
