The Journey - Is It Still Wanted?

[Estellios]

Some of that stuff was horrible even back then... shouting for a WHM to raise was never fun and neither was wasting hours looking for a group or the trains in Crawler's Nest. There's a difference between "a funny memory" and "a funny memory that I don't want to have to deal with again".

Take it slowly if you want, burn through levels if you want. Not everyone plays for the same thing. When the storyline is better paced and there are things to do (including level-capped content and level sync) on both ends of the spectrum, there would be less of a desire to rush through.

I've already made more than enough memories playing this game so it's up to the player.

Hi Estellios,

Oh no doubt. Definitely it wasn't all "roses" back then. Some parts of progressing took a bit too long and sometimes you had to suffer overly crowded areas or monster-stealing, etc. I definitely didn't enjoy getting eaten by Bune the first time, but that experience is one that I wouldn't forget (and subsequent trips made me never want to experience that again).

And "Yes" definitely not proposing one method or another. I was just curious if people still enjoy the Journey or if they're more interested in getting to End Game nowadays.

At least 2.0 promises some very distinct areas, and as you say, if we get some low level, mid level content to help us along the way, it should make the Journey worthwhile for those that choose to take their time.
