@Deliverator Right?! SO stoked! Was introduced to the Otherland series years and years ago, and always thought it would make a GREAT premise for an MMO. Glad to see someone's finally caught on to that! And it seems like they're doing it right, too. I wouldn't want an MMO based around the storyline of the books, the setting itself lends all the creative inspiration the game needs!
@The 7th Number Actually, my roommate just told me that this DLC is indeed adding Guardian back as a gametype. Maybe he's got his facts mixed up, but he's never been wrong about Gears before!
@Nenene "do not offer any advantage over those available in the game through the investment of time."
What this says to me is "We want our game to make money, so we're putting stuff in the cash shop for casual players to still be able to keep up with the more hardcore players, they just have to spend some extra coin."
@Punkrawk Bbob First perma-death of a player character, huh? Tellah would like a word with you. As would the twins from the same game. And I do believe there was a death or two in FF3/6 also, but I don't remember the character's name since I renamed all of them back then.
