When Roy Trubshaw and I worked on MUD1, we saw it as a means of giving people freedom. For players, freedom to do and to be; for us, freedom to make our imaginations real (well, OK, virtual). Most of the early UK virtual worlds that followed had that same sense of idealism. After our "high energy" presentation, the questions were even stranger. Someone asked why humanities research got left out, and we had to say that we couldn't find it to be directly relevant on our top 10 list of bulleted points. Ian made the point, and I agreed, that doing the research for this panel made us think differently about academic research. While I'm not going to say that what we've done personally has no value, it was a definite challenge to try and make it *directly relevant* in a BULLETED POINT for developers.

Following you will see a list of the places and the monsters' names when referred to the professional drops of various kinds.

One of my friends said to me: "Gotta work, gonna take off for lunch around 3pm CST and come home to start the update downloads if available, then back to work for another 4 hrs. Once home if download not done gonna change the channel and work on FFX2 to see if I can get dark knight high enough to take on Vegnagun. First time through it and assured a Good ending. All things going smoothly I should be online by 10pm and have all day tuesday to figure everything out."

It took me nearly a year of meriting on my White Mage to finally cap Healing Magic skill, so don't be too hung up on it at your early level. There's still plenty of healing to do until then. As for healing skill, even under cap you're going to be healing well in the dunes, especially if you bring along some mind. No worries. (However, once you are an appropriate level, I found it useful to hang out in besieged to level my healing skill. Running around curing anyone you see is also a nice way to get a ton of ISP, I was able to cap my healing skill shortly after hitting 75).

The FFXI Gil game Mithra is one of the five original races of the Final Fantasy XI adventure. These are cat-like creatures that are known to have come from a southern island named Tsahya. During the present game day they live in the Federation of Windurst.

With the advent of the Burning Crusade, flying and epic flying mounts at 70 became a sink for the extra gold floating around Outlands in player's pockets. There has been speculation ever since about what a similar sink might be in Wrath of the Lich King.

The Scholar has access to black and white magic (damage and healing spells, respectively) but works best as a support type of character. He can augment the power of black or white magic spells for the rest of the party. He also has access to some decent damage over time spells (DoTs) that allows him to stand away from the action and still contribute.

Fishing, while listed under the craft area of the menu in Final Fantasy XI, is not considered a true craft by some players. This is due the fact that you don't actually craft anything. You buy a fishing pole and bait, then go stand by just about any body of water in the game and you're able to fish. Fishing is a great way to make gil in Final Fantasy XI. This is because it requires little gil to start up, in fact, you can get a fishing pole and some simple bait for less than 1k.

For those people really interested in making some real money with the Auction House in World of Warcraft, it's vital to set up an alternate WoW gold game character and split up the work load of questing, leveling and traveling with selling and buying in a major city.
