I thought it was pretty funny.

*PS3 Limitations

Ya, flying mounts made Everquest 2 a whole different experience.

I spent the remainder of my night last night (until about 2am EST) playing with the harvesting class. I did Botanist for a while earlier in the day but did Miner until the end. Reached level 16. The stat system for harvesting is pretty good. Gathering Skill = higher chances of finding items. Perception Skill = Higher chances of finding HQ items.

Still haven't figured out exactly what all the skills do. There are skill like "Discipline" and "Piety". I imagine Discipline has to do with spell casting, Piety with white magic spell strength?

Disciple of the Field classes are a pain to level, but the Field Levelmetes make it a lot faster. And once you get to level 15, get the level 15 primary and secondary weapon, they give you a big boost to Perception, making HQ finds a lot easier. HQ finds give you 250% or so bonus to Exp. Of course the miner level 15 class quest was to find 15 HQ versions of a level 13 or 14 item. That took a while.

I hope Phase 3 final next weekend last a bit longer than the standard. Want to try out the crafts a bit to decide what to do on the permanent characters. Need a level 19 Disciple of the Hand to unlock the quest to get Materia melding.

Get the PC version. Cheaper (22.50 (reg) or 37.50 (ce) from GMG if you act soon) and you can use the native game controller support to have identical controls to the PS3 if you so wish. Plus you get the benefit of the better hardware, and unless you setup your PS3 as a computer and sit down at a keyboard, communication amongst people are a lot easier.

I'd only buy the PS3 version if I didn't have a PC.

What are your PC specs?

I'm at the "slightly low" rating when I have the benchmark settings at low. But I seriously doubt that's the extent of video options, so I want to look in game. Particularly because the textures are still pretty high-res even on low settings. I could stand to bring environmental textures (like ground) down more.

Worst case scenario, I buy the PS3 version and use that until I migrate to the PC.

I would say go with the PS3 version. Because you can always get the client on PC and its cross platform but its usually harder to find the disk for consoles. Get PS3 version, play PS3 or PC (Just get the client). You could do it the opposite way but you would have to find the disk Used or borrow it from a friend, maybe SE will let it be D/L via store for free ?

I forget what I had score wise but setting the game to very high in game gave me a little bit of fps loss (I couldnt find a counter only judging by eye)I did most of the Beta on High, figure Ill worry about High settings once actual game comes out and is finalized, also after someone puts out a guide showing what each option does and how it affects fps.

Usually in the first month people figure out the best settings rather quickly.

Don't think so, if only because they're selling the game itself on the cheap.

I'd be shocked if it didn't come with a free month. They need people to actually play the game to get subscriptions, which is the real reason a free month is included in the purchase price of MMOs.

Few people are going to subscribe to something they have never experienced a trial of, particularly not if it requires them to purchase the game on top of it.

But if they can get a month of enjoyment out of it, regardless of whether or not they'd really invest much beyond that, the purchase price isn't so bad.

I mean, when you buy an EVE Starter Pack on sale for $5, it includes the game, and additional bonuses, and you still get your free 30 days.
