    I bought BFA but I'm not sure if I'll actually come back and play it yet. The slower leveling makes it hard for me to want to level alts while I wait or get them ready to be my mains for BFA. I get why they did it and think it was the right move for new players but leveling just feels so much slower.

    I tried the closed beta and it's a pretty fun game imo. I'm new to MH style games and based those who have played MH it's kind of mixed. It's obviously lacking a good amount compared to MH but they seem to acknowledge this and plan more stuff.

    Just figured I would let anyone kind of in lull for games might be willing to give it a shot.

    I'm not sure if they would be my first choice. There are a good amount of VPNs already and it's not like they're outrageous in price either.

    Until we become larger and there literally hundreds or thousands of comments of which many could be contained in one comment chain.

    As I was scrolling I was thinking something like this. Maybe add a reply to OP button on every comment or something so you can comment where ever.

    Ya the amount of books he puts out is absolutely insane. I mean I've been waiting for the final installment of The Kingkiller Chronicle since 2011 :(.

    I would say allow it. I mean if you don't like it you don't subscribe to it just like reddit. Yes it will probably cover whatever our /r/all will be but well that's what ~all is.

    I can see where you're coming from. I agree after books like the Red Rising series you can definitely feel Sanderson making stuff more younger teen friendly at times.

    I doubt that part will change. That's part of what it took from Runescape imo.

    I haven't seen him mentioned yet so I'll throw my favorite author out there. Brandon Sanderson if you want a good fiction books (close to fantasy but not always).

    If you want a nice long Epic you can't go wrong with the Stormlight Archives. Something closer to comic book heroes The Breaker series is amazing. A good intro to his universes would the Mistborn series. If you don't want a series he also has books but I'll recommend Warbreaker. He even has a comic book series that I haven't read so can't comment on much.

    Basically this guy is a god like author IMO and I don't know how he manages it. He was also selected to finish The Wheel of Time series but I can't get through the first book of that so don't know how well he did.

    Any fellow Tildes playing this? I picked it up yesterday with the steam release and it interests me enough to probably keep playing. Although I do think I'm going to need a different guild(nothing against the one I'm in just I'm NA and they're EU).

    For those who want a quick idea of the game I would say it's a mix of EVE and Runescape. While there are traditional skills you level up based on a mix of these two. You gain "fame" based on certain tasks. But unlike runescape mining copper ore forever won't allow you to max out your mining skill set. You actually need to mine higher quality stuff.

    For eve like stuff I would say look at banking and how PVP is handles. Banking is all local so if you want to move a lot of stuff it will probably take a long time(I just started but imagine they'll eventually offer something like contracts(or at least hope they do)). Then PVP has different levels like safe, red(where you can enable PVP and attack others), or black where PVP is always an option with no consequence other than other players.

    Like I said I'm a noob but will try to answer any questions I can for those wondering about it. Links below for whatever else you may want to know.

    I would say maybe not make it count more than a normal vote at all. It would just be something for people to give recognition while also keeping the site going.
