I had to play on Standard on my laptop to keep framerate great and that was fine, so I wouldn't worry too much. Though that was because I insisted on fullscreen resolution.

It didn't feel like grinding up to level 32, which was as far as I got in Phase 3. Grinding's kind of in the eye of the beholder, though.

If you're curious about it, you might want to try the one-week beta and see how you like it. You can transfer your progress to release if you decide to play.

So what you're saying is that when I FINALLY get to play, you'll already all be level 30+ or something? =_=

Doesn't matter Dram, just swap weapons and he changes class to level 1.

Need to level 3 classes anyhow at least usually, 2 classes then a specialized one

I think you'll still be able to join the beta.

You can get to level 30 in a week.

It looks like pre-order registration might happen on August 8th. If you haven't gotten a pre-order code, consider contacting your retailer if you want all the pre-order toys. :]

I got mine immediately upon Amazon pre-order.

Are you guys going to play on Gilgamesh? I vaguely remember that he was already on it, but I also remember you asking me to go somewhere else...?

I thought you had said that your special friend was elsewhere or something. I guess he wasn't?

the refresh kinda negates that.
Also why do you keep saying "Special friend"? Makes him sound autistic <.<

He says that about everyone to mean 'significant other'.

Just a warning that it seems like people are predicting that Gilgamesh will fill up pretty quickly due to everyone and their mother choosing that server.

So be quick!
