So, what's new in FFXI?
I know about the new trust magic and have seen the website for the seekers expansion but can someone break down the new content for me? The patch notes were a bit confusing to me.

In other words, what new end game things are there to do? (Can you explain it a bit)
Did they finally make something better than the Trial magian weapons?
Can I solo WotG missions now?
Is leveling soloable at all now?
Whats the server population like? Am I going to need 6man parties to do normal content/leveling and will I spend hours trying to get a party together? ^_^;

Any info appreciated! Thanks in advance.
So... Where to begin... The Abyssea stuff will help you level late game, you can level solo with the Trusts, the Record of Eminence gives you gear/weapons from 1-99+, Seekers is basically a bunch of campaign like battles across the maps, Delve I haven't done yet, but you still need lots of people for that, I am thinking of trying to solo the WotG missions, but I think some of them still have a minimum numbers of players to have, my server has about 900+ people the few times I've checked, other may have more. For the Most part, depending on your job, you won't really need a party.
