Square: FFXIV’s playtime-limiting system in place to keep certain players from having an “unfair advantage”

ffxiv3

Life is all about balance. Unless you play MMOs; in which case, life is a series of marathon play sessions that culminate in you sitting atop an ever-growing pile of virtual loot that’s always just seconds away from becoming obsolete.

Square, however, is implementing a system that eventually takes away players’ ability to gain experience points if they don’t take a breather every once in a while. Hooray, right? If you said “yes,” you clearly don’t understand MMO players.

First Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light details will shock you – no, really!

LaraCroftGoL_1

Lara Croft’s going back to her roots in her upcoming downloadable adventure, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

Wait! No she isn’t! She is, however, going back to someone else’s roots in a top-down isometric, arcade-style co-op game that’s straight out of the 1980s.
