Road to 60 gone?

I am on the goblin server and I just logged in after the patch and noticed i no longer have the buff. I looked at the patch notes and didnt see anything regarding the buff being removed.

Lodestone link

Goblin is now classed as a standard world, not preferred. Hence buff gone.

ah gotcha, was thinking that may be it. glad i got to HW last night before the change. Thanks for the info :)

Rest in piece my Road to 60, 2017-2017.

Level's too slow to have me bother with a tank over on Mateus now.

While I knew all along that the buff could go away if the server got fuller, it kind of sucks that it was done that way. I mean, it was meant (at least in part) as a reward to players who moved to those servers or created new characters on low-population servers in order to better balance the populations. But then because the population got balanced... you lose your reward. >.<

I wouldn't have mind it being marked to end at 4.1. It does stink that it just... poofed because it did it's intention and nothing more.

Yeah, this is bullshit... Hasn't even been 30 days since I made a character and the buff is gone... Square Enix should grandfather the people that created a character here and let us keep the buff... I even had friends join the game to catch up and now this buff is gone.. They are going to lose subscribers from this BS

Yes that's what SE should be doing, don't you think, that if somebody would be entitled to that buff, it would be the players that support the game for over 4+ years? It's not difficult to gain levels, everything is buffed way more then it was at release, or even a year/two later down the road. The buff was added, so people would get out of the extremely overpopulated servers, making very low populated servers more liable, instead of going a server merge route. And that did the trick apparently, there's no other reason anymore, to keep that buff alive any longer.

What exactly is road to 60?

A buff for newly-created characters (at least I think it's only for new characters) on the designated "preferred worlds" that gives +100% exp from all sources (including quests and roulettes) as long as you're below level 60. For combat exp, it does stack with things like the armory bonus, the Brand-New Ring, the Friendship Circlet, and the Ala Mhigan Earrings, so you can end up getting good chunks per kill, too.

I don't know if it affects crafting/gathering at all, as I never experimented with those.
