I'm a new player who finally got his first character to level 50. I was excited to experience the conclusion of the main story line and sat down last night with time to do the last leg of the quests.

Things were fine until I hit Castrum Meridianum. After letting them know I was new, I watched the first movie. Things went fine until the movie before the first boss. A couple seconds in I got the warning on the screen that the boss would be sealed off in 15 seconds. Instead of enjoying the cut scene, I skipped it and did the boss fight. Not a big deal. After the fight though, I watched the ending scene. By the time it finished, everyone had disappeared. The map showed them a ways away and I tried to figure out how to get there. With both doors shut, I finally asked. Thankfully someone responded with the chute on the left. In this case I was able to catch up with them. From there on out I sadly skipped all the cut scenes and was at least able to keep up. (Why only 1000 characters?)
