Kudo's to everyone in this thread leveling the way the game was originally intended. One of my most favorite activities in the game is to go out and solo some fov, or team up with a couple friends lvl 15-60ish. It's those times spent together, and parties back in the day that are the true fun of XI. End game is great in it's own way. Nothing can replace that fun relaxed low level xp party feeling however.
