And the next few are probably general MMO questions:
  • I've been invited to two free companies and received friend requests. I turned them all down as I don't really know what to expect. There's literally no communication before hand. So: what do people generally expect when they add some random(?) player to their company or friends' list? (Aside from kicking butt.)
  • Speaking of: how are people generally when it comes to groups? As I'm new, I'm probably not that convenient to play with (which is one reason I'm wary of joining groups).
  • What are some abbreviations used on FFXIV?

If anyone answers any of these (possibly ridiculous) questions, I earnestly appreciate it.
1- 50. Until the expansion comes out which will be 60. (Do remember you can level ALL the classes so it's a lot of level cumulatively)

2 - dunno. I'm the broke type of player.

Friend Requests: Many "friend" invites are actually RMT spammers who just want to convince you to spend your money on gil (and risk being punished as that's not allowed). I wouldn't accept a friend invite from a random person who I've never talked to and isn't in my FC or any Linkshell I trust.

FC invites: They probably just want more members. It's not necessarily a bad thing as you can always leave it later if you don't like it. FCs like that tend to be casual. FCs that actually require a lot of commitment don't typically hand out invites to random people without talking with them first.

4 - Like any game. There are nice people and there are jerks. Grouping with random people = higher likelihood of jerks. If you do find a nice FC or Linkshell, you can group up with people you actually like.

5 - http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Di...%20and%20Slang <- link with many abbreviations. It's also a very good website overall to get familiar with.
