Not to burst your bubble, but you won't be unlocking DRK the moment you hit 50. To access Ishgard, and thus unlock DRK, you'll need to hit 50 and then complete every main story quest from patches 2.0-2.55. The main story quests at 50 alone will probably take you longer than the 11 days you have left on your subscription, let alone the actual leveling you need to accomplish before reaching that point. Expect to be well into your next month's subscription before you can unlock DRK.

Don't let that ruin your mood, though. And don't go into it all with the mindset that it's all one big grind before you can enjoy your reward (Ishgard, DRK, etc.). Instead, just enjoy your time playing through the MSQ up to and at level 50. The new content isn't going anywhere, so there's no rush. Just take your time and have fun.

In any case, I just now noticed that you're on my World, Diabolos. My character name is Ter'vin Valash, as can be seen to the left of my post. I'm typically online daily, in the afternoon/evening hours in EST/EDT. Don't hesitate to hit me up if you need anything (I can craft and whatnot, or general advice).
