So I learned a few things since last week. One, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/05/anti-aliased-final-fantasy-xiv-is-a-good-good-thing/">writing an opinion column</a> on how much I like <a href="http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com"><em>Final Fantasy XIV</em></a> can push people into a frothing internet rage, and two, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/05/anti-aliased-final-fantasy-xiv-is-a-good-good-thing-pt-2/#comments">people apparently forgot that I write an opinion column</a>.<br /><br />Therefore, because my column may induce emotional states similar to some drugs, I've been asked by the FDA to include a legible warning prior to each of my column topics.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fda.gov/">The FDA</a> would like me to tell you that reading <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/anti-aliased">Anti-Aliased</a> can, in rare cases, cause extreme emotional upset, eye strain, monitor punching syndrome, a feeling of discomfort around Mithra, itchyness, nausea, resurrection sickness, paralysis of the eyelids, and carpal tunnel syndrome. You should stop reading Anti-Aliased and consult with a <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> priest should you develop any one of these symptoms while reading.<br /><br />With that legalese out of the way, let's talk about <a href="http://jd.perfectworld.com"><em>Jade Dynasty</em></a> -- dubbed by the illustrious <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/bloggers/james-egan">James Egan</a> as <span style="font-style: italic;">AFK Dynasty</span> as it's the one MMO where you pay microtransactions to not play it. Yes, you heard me, it's more beneficial to not play <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/jade-dynasty"><em>Jade Dynasty</em></a> than it is to play <em>Jade Dynasty</em>. <em>EVE</em> players, there is finally a game that puts your skill training system to shame.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/12/anti-aliased-my-first-30-levels-with-afk-er-jade-dynasty/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Anti-Aliased: My first 30 levels with AFK... er...
