Super excited for this. Will definitely pick up the bundle.

These are fantastic! Only have enough time to skim them right now, but already the flavor suggests so many great plot hooks. I totally agree with what you are doing - breath some life to those NPC classes! Better yet, someone call in the Life-Giver!

I'd love to give this a try!

Truth be told, this thread has already gotten too long for me to bother reading all of it, so I have no idea what has been said by whom, but basically, I'm psyched for this game.

I totally agree. This thread got really old really fast, and I stopped reading it a little after Eluhil's post.

I've been lurking around the Paizo forums since around the time of the savage tide adventure path in old dungeon and dragon, never posting, but I am so excited about the possibilities presented for this game that I just had to get my perspective out there.

I was in the World of Warcraft Beta for a good month before launch, and I bought the collector's edition when it came out. Some would say that there needs to be a certain level of dedication to a concept for that kind of action, and really I loved the world and Blizzard products in general, so I was happy to shell out. Sure, the game didn't have everything I wanted in it, everything that I dreamed of doing in an MMORPG, but this was Blizzard, so they would come through for me, right? I got bored around the 6 month mark. The grind just wasn't for me. I didn't have the time to keep up with it, and all my friends just out paced me, so the game basically became a single player experience, and whats the point in paying $19 bucks (Canadian $ was a bit lower at the time) a month for something that just didn't live up to my expectations? The real killer came when I got massacred by a bear with a skull for a level doing the last thing that I actually enjoyed in the game - exploring.

Then, a few years later, someone introduced me to EVE Online. I was in heaven. Here were all the things WOW didn't have, the things I really wanted: economics. I spent something like three months happily moving water from one system to another, chasing market trends until i could finally afford a real cargo hauler. Then I kept doing the same thing, just on a larger scale. It was great, and I could still play with my friends in mining ops or instanced missions. Time killed even EVE for me, though, as I just couldn't justify the hour or two I could play a week with the price tag.

So, in conclusion, here is a casual gamer, with a casual amount of time on his hands, who is casually going to wait for the Free to Play option to roll out. What will I do when it comes out? Probably do odd jobs until I can afford a horse and cart to ship grain. Or maybe even water. And hey, I will probably even buy a module or two to play with my friends when I've got a spare weekend!
