Let me start by insisting that this is an actual concern that I have, and that I am not attempting to troll here. I logged into FFXIV for the first time in over a month, excited to explore some of the new content that had been mentioned over various Letters and Patch Notes.

Finding myself at Nophica's Well. The behest was about to begin, but since nobody else was present, I decided to teleport back to Ul'dah instead. I spent 30 minutes running around the city and didn't find a single NPC with a quest icon over his head. I tried asking a few people about the instanced raids, and got the same reply I always get - silence.

And the factions? I have no idea where to learn about these in-game, or where to locate them.

It's frustrating. I can't find any of the new content, and the community seems to be dozens of AFKs standing around the city peddling their wares.

Please, someone, help point me in the right direction. Where can I find some of this new content? Which cities should I be looking at, and where? Is my rank the reason I'm not seeing any of it?
