Returning Player Seeking Knowledge

[Andreja]

I'll give you the basics:

You'll be soloing the first 15 levels. Then you'll join 18 person book burn alliances. You might get sucked into Abyssea. Either way, you'll probably hit level 50 in like two days. After you manage to find someone helpful (read: bang your head against the wall after six hours of shouting) you can knock out your limit breaks. Maat fight is still rough, but at least the testys allow three attempts now. Then you'll be meriting and collecting seals up the ass before doing one last hurrah fight to break 99. All in all, this will take about a week unlike the old days when 75 took two years and felt like an accomplishment.

After that, you'll start another job, burn to 30, hop into Abyssea and walk out 66 levels higher in like ten hours. By week two, you'll realize the game is a joke, no one speaks, you're constantly bored and will go play Star Wars.

It's the same with Star Wars as well. The mmo genre hasn't really changed much in the last 7 years or so. Though if it makes a difference op, I've been playing since June of last year and I'm having a good time with FFXI so far. There's a ton of content for a new player to keep him/her busy for some time. Most of those posters are probably just burned out of the game since they're probably finished with most of the content this game has to offer, and want some more worthwhile content like they had during their earlier years. Don't let the posters here deter you from playing, go play and see for yourself.

You can go to Gusgen Mines at level 11, or solo to lvl 15 if you like, and stay at Gusgen till around lvl 35 and make the trip to Jeuno.

How do I get to Gusgen? I know it's in Bastok's area, but don't have an airship pass and literally forgot how I obtain one. Been looking it up but to no avail xD
