I have log-in issues every time I try to access the game, but I keep trying because I want to play.
When I do get in, I thoroughly enjoy myself. The graphics are a huge improvement over version 1.0 and I enjoy the new music. Even though I am legacy and have leveled many things, I have to relearn all my jobs/classes so I get to play them again.
And then there's the exploration... 1.0 had some places with a nice view. ARR has lots of areas that I haven't seen yet!
