Yeah, that's probably the case, but it tends to grow stale real quick, especially if you're alliance burning and are claustrophobic about it like I am.
Something about campaign tickles my fancy the best.
I've never understood why people like Campaign.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.

War is one of the most boring job...probably second only to monk.
Only because WAR can zerg just about any NM in 1-3 minutes, then you have nothing left to kill! :D
Anyways does Campaign give skill ups now? If not it's technically just as bad as "Abyssea burning"

I liked campaign a lot but only orcs because the other mobs sucked >_> Well orc bosses sucked too.

I'm at WoH now so I would at least campaign until I finished up my medals.
Wings of Honor
Starlight Medal
Moonlight Medal
Dawnlight Medal
Medal Of Altana
Is there a secret to getting good XP in Beseiged? All it ever did for me was give me a lot of deaths.
I would most likely do GoV or something once I knew I had earned the next medal and just had to wait on the evaluation time.
Edit: I find campaign to be somewhat fun. Especially if you have 1-2 other people to fool around with.

SE did a pretty good job at giving a detailed war propaganda and sense of duty for your character to join the war effort, similar to that of World War II.
That combined with the zones in the past and fighting off beastmen instead of killing the same group of wild animals over and over again is much more appealing to me.
My only complaint would be the inability to skill up; which with all the exp updates for the past few years, should be considered for removal.

Wasn't hard for me to get 15k even at my level.
The biggest factor is probably not to sit around in a weakened state for half the battle, otherwise I only earn like 7000.

They buffed it recently, it never gave that much before lol. I get that, but I never hit the numbers people gave previously. I can't log in to try it since my token is still in Virginia, so I really don't know how much I would get right now.

I sorta see what you're saying; how warrior's traits and abilities all centralize into one factor of essentially smashing your foe to bits in seconds flat. However, their defensive capacities have been boosted to a respectable level. Laughable to most, but plausible nevertheless. Might want to give it a try sometime.
But I definitely see why COR is your favorite with how intricate and involved it was. At least it was that way before Abyssea. Not too sure how it is now.

I've always been a big fan of besieged. There was a time when I logged just to see if there was an army marching lol.

Anyone remember the first Besieged, and how mobs literally just came in like it was a floodgate, and black mages pretty much clustered and agaed all at once ending the battle before anyone knew wtf was happening? Haha, was laggy beyond belief, you'd just see a mob or two come in, freeze and before you know it, it was already over.

Cor is more of a snooze fest than war ever will be. I don't know what that means. Cor never lets you take the hands off the keyboard or the eyes off the screen, plus it lets you do many different things. War is plain.

COR is anything but that. its realy one of the more fun jobs as long as ya not pigieonholed into one of the "stand there and do nothing except buffs every few min " roles.

I never liked besieged, because of how little I got from it.

I'm resisting the urge to level up my Mithra some more so I can make my Powerthirst dual box combo and give everyone e-*** with a bard and corsair combination.
Corsair is my favorite class, so I wanna spoil it rotten with the best things available and have it go out guns blazing from 15-75 with marksmanship merits as well.

You would cap out on rewards easy. If i see beseiged going on I just go there do like 8 WSs and just afk in a corner. One day all this imp standing will come in handy

Al'Zahbi nearly crashed, reaching max adventurer population, people dying and dc'ing everywhere... pure fun chaos

I loved besieged because I could *** around with 2hrs and all my buffs and just use the revitalizer after.

Cor is more of a snooze fest than war ever will be.
I find COR to be one of the more fun jobs in the game. Will admit mine's still only level 18 though.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
