Compensation for what? I played the MSQ up to the wall of Rauban. I've run a couple dungeons, I did a crap load of random quests, I added 2 new classes and finished their starter quests. I finished my Bard starter quest. And I finished a step on my mostly useless at this level anima weapon, and i need one aether oil pot to finish another. And I did some beast quests. I don't feel like I lost much. The MSQ will be there later and eventually it will work.
