My quesiton though is why is every returning player these days starting over? It's not that hard these days to catch up, no, but still. Why redo all the stuff you already did?
My old account was completely wiped, all my characters included. I tried to reactivate it roughly a year after I first quit but they said it was permanently gone and not restorable.

xD

Question again, I read that guide, and am currently level 11. I have been told to go to Gusgen Mines? If that is accurate, how does one get there from San D Oria? I'll confess I have completely forgotten a majority of this game lol
