Switching Worlds

Thanks for the response. I must suck at this game because it took me about 30-40 hours to get to level 27. I'm just going to live with it I guess. Square support was no help and all they could say was, "We get this complaint all the time, you are not alone." $18 is not going to break the bank, it's more of the fact that I've all ready committed $200 to play this for a year, and now I have to spend $18 more if I want to actually play with other players. I'll just cross my fingers that one day they'll run the free transfer again like they did back in October, and I'll be able to leave the deserted world of Mateus.

That's not a bad time for a first run. When you begin a new game, things take a lot longer because you're spending a significant amount of your time learning the game and its interface, and exploring an unfamiliar world. If you do decide to start over, repeating now-familiar content goes far faster than exploring and learning new content, so you can get back to level 27 in far less time than it took you to get there initially.

Or at least it can go a lot faster if you want it to. It really comes down to how much time you like to spend on exploring. You can decide to rush through the early levels up to the point where you left off with your previous character, and only then slow down enough to explore the content and side-stories, etc.
