Hey :P
I haven't stopped by the mysidia forums in a few days. Welcome to one of the better servers of Eorzea =) You'll find a good mix of people here, from the super helpful to the end-game oriented.
Depending on your play-time, it is a very family-oriented weekend for a lot of North American players. We'd have no problem giving a lower player a linkshell (once you applied), but until we re-pearl we can't as we are full.

If I'm online feel free to give me a shout.
