Have I missed the boat?

[Heartkitties]

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'm sorry if my post came off as over-reactive. I've only been able to get my "end game" impressions from /shout so far, which as you know can be a little scary. Judging from these posts there's still a ton of people appreciating the content and moving at their own pace. That makes me happy ♥

So, I played some in Beta and was ready to charge into the game at launch, level up somewhat quickly, and learn the end game content while everyone else was still feeling their way through it as well. Sadly though, REAL LIFE HAPPENED (!!) and I'm way behind the herd. I'm only 47 and I dont get to play nearly as much as I'd like.

It seems like most people have the level 50+ stuff down to a science and all I ever hear are groups wanting people to be geared and know the fights. I guess what I'm wondering is if there's still a place in end game for new players and if you more experienced folks have any advice on how to prepare myself for it.

don't be fooled by this forum. the reason you see way more posts by lvl 50s than other levels is simply that until lvl 50 you can only have like 3-5 posts per day (!)

either way, there's at least one other person on Balmung that has no 50 yet, either *wink*wink*

Indeed. Though I've discovered that simply having a level 50 Fisher (easiest class to level) unlocks all the privileges of being 50, on the forums (unlocked posting cap) and in game (XP boost on other classes all quests unlocked(even if you can't do them))

My highest DoW class/job is 33, though I have only been playing for just under 4 weeks.

The game is a week old in terms of a good mmo.

Ok it's like 3 months old, But you're thinking you missed the boat. The game will be around for 10 years, cross my figures.
I honestly started FFXI months after NA launch and it was great till 3 months ago.
I started WOW after leech king and it was good too.

This thread has made me happy

Last week I got 3 more DoH classes to 50, for a total of 6 (Leatherworker, Weaver, Carpenter, Goldsmith, Blacksmith and Culinarian) and was planning on finally getting Botany up to 50 as well tomorrow morning (languishing at 42).

But my highest DoW job is Dragoon at 45. I've been getting some good natured ribbing from my FC about joining them for end-game content, but I haven't been in any rush. I've been a little worried about finding people to join me once I do get there - but if this thread is any indication I think I'll be fine

I've had 50 on dow/dom and some crafting/gathering classes since 1.0 and I haven't done any endgame yet nor have I finished the story.. so I wouldn't say you're behind lol. i just transferred from balmung but its a fairly friendly server

I'm on Balmung as well and while I'm working on some of the end game gearing, I more enjoy taking my time and helping folks run dungeons and just learning their way through stuff. Feel free to look me up anytime you want/need something: S'neha Qimi.

I'll toss out another FC offer to some of the others as well. Ours is pirate themed. We're a smaller but friendly, laid-back group.

@Baneus
hehe. that's why I'm leveling up my botanist now so I can finally get rid of that stupid restriction (well, and I want to get alchemy up but that's just a minor detail. lol)
