Will Final Fantasy 14 be Free to Play?

So it is likely that after the last flop of the online Final Fantasy that the newest one, Final Fantasy 14, will be free to play online. Last time around, many people were not happy at the idea of having to pay a subscription for really any Final Fantasy game. Many believe the price isn't worth the amount of content or the quality for that matter.

MMOHut reports that there are five reasons Final Fantasy 14 will go free to play:
 1. Free to Play would revive a dying player base.
 2. Free to Play would increase revenue.
 3. Players are not happy with the current state of the game.
 4. Japanese developers are familiar with the free to play platform.
 5. Simply put, Free to Play is the Future.

I would say that I have to agree with the reasoning across the board. I know that since WoW, I will never pay for a subscription MMO unless the monthly fee was drastically reduced. The amount of time and the amount of money that must be devoted to that type of game is simply too high. Looking at how much I have spent on WoW compared to how much grinding I have had to do in order to get the required items to have fun is simply not worth it in almost any other game. Even WoW has lost the luster that it used to have and if Blizzard turned it into a Free to Play now, the player base would likely increase (maybe not as high as it used to be, but still it would increase). Looking at games that don't cost a monthly fee, I tend to have more fun compared to the amount of money spent and the very little time spent grinding in order to have fun. Although the article doesn't offer any comparisons like this, it is still interesting to think about when it comes to the last statement they make. Check out the article for yourself and see what you think.

College Football

Thanks for the guest post by Jo Levy


I love ESPN.com because they show college football games that are otherwise not televised in my area. Using our wireless internet Beverly Hills, I can get online and watch a game that I would otherwise not be able to see in my area. I am an avid Texas Longhorns fan, but I live in California due to my job. I have spent many a Saturday afternoon over the last three years watching football on my computer while my children watch a kid’s show on TV. It works perfect because my wife and kids can watch what they want to on television while I am still able to watch the game. It is amazing the coverage that college football receives. Watching college football is one of the things that I most look forward to in the fall. In southern California, there is not a drastic change of seasons as there is in some other parts of the country, but I know fall is here when college football starts up. While I love living on the west coast, I am much happier knowing I can still watch my Big 12 teams play.

Get your Super Weapon in Skyrim!

While I don't play Skyrim, I spend a lot of time watching my friends play and I have to say it looks great, but I don't want to put that much time into another MMO. Similar frustrations are seen by people already playing the game that are having trouble getting the gear to really progress quickly. While it might be tricky maximizing your weapon and armor enhancement on your own, the Skyrim Ultimate Smithing Guide is here to help:




This guide has been a valuable resource for many Skyrim gamers as well as my friends who referred me to this video. I thought it would be an interesting one to share even though I don't play because I know the frustration of the grind which is in way too many games for me to play at once.

I also found an article from IGN which can show you exactly how to raise your smithing to level 100 in about 5 minutes. Just as a side note, it appears that there are some prerequisites to starting where they do in this article but nonetheless, the video in the article shows exactly how to quickly raise your smithing level.

After following this article, you should ideally be able to create some of the best armor and weapons in the game, muching progression much smoother. I hope this helps you guys!

Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

There is no reason prescription medication should not be available to the people who need it. That is why Walgreens has created the new Prescription Savings Plan to help the customers who have been loyal to them as well. For $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in your immediate family, including spouse, dependents 22 and younger and even pets. Individuals may join for $5. Join and receive discount prices on your prescriptions, saving on more than 8,000 brand-name and all generic medication. You also get discounts on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies with bonuses when you purchase Walgreens brand products and photofinishing services. Find all the latest information from the Walgreens and Express Script.

Because Express Scripts has not made the effort to renew contracts with Walgreens, customers are forced to find other in-network pharmacists, affecting Walgreens customers. Customers receive no benefit from this increased hassle caused by Express Scripts leaving customers with more work than necessary; all pain with no gain.

Join the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club  to avoid the disruption and trouble of getting your medications and keep costs reasonable. In fact, Employers want Walgreens in their pharmacy network according to a Walgreens proprietary survey where 823 executives and managers who are key decision makers for pharmacy benefit decisions or provide input found that 82 percent of employers said that they would not exclude Walgreens for less than 5 percent savings on their total pharmacy spend. Sixty percent of employers would not exclude Walgreens for less than 10 percent savings, and 21 percent would not exclude Walgreens from their network regardless of the amount of savings. Employers value having Walgreens as a pharmacy option for their employees.

Support Walgreens and stay updated by liking Walgreens on Facebook  and following Walgreens on Twitter.
