Road to 60 gone?

I guess the buff reappears if server goes again to preferred. Just take the chance and when buff active, take to 60 the jobs you want max later and keep the 60+ leveling when the buff goes off or you leveled all you wanted to.

If I hadn't been aware that the buff going away was a possibility, I'd have been a very upset customer. No matter what angle I look at it from, offering a reward to entice someone to roll on a preferred server and then, when you no longer need people to roll on the server, taking that reward away from the players who took you up on the offer seems a bit bait-and-switchy.

It's also not a very effective inducement for future instances of the behavior if your customers learn you don't honor the deal if too many players take you up on it. This will certainly be the last time I recommend any friends of mine who are new players roll on a preferred server.

Wow... Mateus went from being the lowest population server in NA to having a high enough population to no longer be a preferred world. I think it might have been the only one on the NA data center to do so. Considering all the RP'ers advertising the move, I wonder if this means SE will realize the RP'ing population of their game is significantly larger than they first thought. I mean, Balmung was big for more than just it's RP'ers, but this seems like a better measure of the population considering.

I can confirm that it did work on crafters and gatherer's.

It is only for new characters (not transfers or existing chars) and it does apply to crafting and gathering.

I thought it worked on transfers though.

Huh. Maybe I'm silly.

Nope...World transfer bonuses post. It only lists the exp bonus under new creation.

I was told of the road to 60 thing by a friend and so I got the game + stormblood about 10-12 days ago and was having a great time.
Buff just disappeared yesterday. I've got 21 days left on my sub but I don't know if I'm going to play it much anymore.
I'm sorry to say I think I'm done with the game for now.

That would be a silly reason to stop playing. Leveling is so trivial in this game, especially on your first job, since all you have to do is follow the MSQ.

I just wanna go back to Gilgamesh already.
