Nope, there's only 5 other people level 1-15 on my server, myself included, that I've seen through search the past few days; only one of them wanted to party.

Also there are alot of ppl who are new who have no ls and dont know where to find one or what to do. A newbie ls is always a good thing to start to get the ball rolling, learn the game and get exp both for yourself and others. I was completely unhappy with xi until I took the inititive and save up the 8k gil lol and buy a ls to start up my own group. Ended up playing with some of those ppl for yrs.
? Buy a LS? They're free, aren't they? Anyways, my experiences with LS's have been disappointing thus far, as they've all been based around 25+ content and did not want anything to do with me until I grinded to 25.

As I said post xmas we may see an influx of ppl with the game as cheap as it is during xmas sales so that starter ls would be a fairly smart route to go if you cannot find an established one. It will also help to retain the new players. If you want to trash your current char and start over in mysidia I will help you get the ball rolling on a new player ls and getting some stuff done.
Post xMas is too close to subscription deadline.

And to Suzaku...if your graphics in xi were horizontally stretched that was an issue with your config and an easy fix ^^ also yay for drg pets! Drg here need a lil pet wyvern too!
Happened on my PC and my xBox 360 and it also looks that way in all the YouTube vids I see.
