It's a Tal! How you been, man? Good! Just been working a lot, doing graphic and web design for a Scotch importer. It's a lot of fun, I get to travel and pour at tastings sometimes, too. How about you Oren? Hope you're doing well. |

I mean I bought XIV when it first released, and I also got a copy of ARR in a Square Enix holiday mystery pack. So I might start a toon up to do some casual stuff. Is the game OK for casual play, or do I need to put insane hours into it? I'd probably only be able to put any time in on weekends. I'm hearing I should play on Gilgamesh?

Just for reference, is there any special thing I should do when leveling initially? I found some good detailed stuff about going from lvl 50 to getting good item lvls and getting geared for end-game goodies, but what about getting to 50 and subjob levels? Any tips?

You can honestly level to cap (60 w/ Heavensward) on quests alone, sub jobs don't work exactly the same as they did in XI. You basically level the secondary job and can cross class some of the abilities. You'll run into a few quests that have to have parties, but with the roulettes, you shouldn't have any issues. If you end up on Midgardsormr let me know and I'll get you into the FC, good group of people there.

I'll be installing tonight, should I just go ahead and scoop up Heavensward immediately or wait until I'm up to where that content kicks in? Yea, that sounds like it hasn't changed much with the cross class abilities since the pay to play beta that was XIV originally.

How about you Oren? Hope you're doing well. I am doing good! Full time family man at this point in life (4 kids between the wife and I). Haven't played any MMOs other than XI in a very long time. I just platinumed Dark Souls 3 recently. Been a fan since Demon's as well. I am actually downloading the 14 day trial of XIV on PS4 to check it out. I doubt I'll get to use my char with several level 50s. |

Gilgamesh! Don't go to silly Midgardsormr! (Note: Nothing wrong with Midgardsormr, it's just that I'm not there  ) |

I had a toon already on Midgardsormr with by brother (who also started playing again with me), I'm assuming from when it first kicked over to ARR and I had a 30 day trial period. Either way, I'm not opposed to switching servers either $18 is a small price to pay for fun with old friends! I'm just getting my bearings back for this game. I'm digging how much easier it is to grind. >.> The first three dungeons were pretty fun, too. We've just been diving in head first this past weekend.

Nice!
I'm super excited about the new content with the patch that is currently being applied. Once maintenance is done I'll be logging in. Calling in sick tomorrow as well! I'm legit sick though, which is balls lol
What is your characters name? I have an alt on Mid, so I'll add you so we can talk if I'm on when you are.

I'll more than likely be on after work tomorrow, I have to put titles on this video I finished editing last week and then I plan on playing for a bit. I'm just getting over a pretty mean upper respiratory infection myself. My character's name is Griftoto Popo'neja.

I managed to jump on last night and run a couple of things with the FC, and I *think* I'm actually free for most of tomorrow so I'll probably be jumping in to the new content. If anyone ends up on mid look up Church VonDarkmage, and feel free to apply to Casus (The FC got renamed, though we kept the latin theme). We have a house on the beach.

Totally missed this reply when I checked the forums this weekend. I've been just steady grinding out WAR with my brother playing SMN. We just downed Titan last night. I'm really enjoying the game so far. I'll shoot you a message if I catch you online DM.
