New & Server Suggestion Feedback

Collectors edition items are indeed account bound.

In all honesty, with a few exceptions like Gilgamesh and balmung, most servers are all the same. The idea that each server has a niche is one that gets tossed around, but isn't really true. You'll find the same type of community on other servers. If you don't want to role play or raid, any server will do.

The issue you're probably experiencing right now is the pre-expansion lull. A large portion of the community is checked out until stormblood drops. What's left may not be the best representation of what this game has to offer.

As to your gearing question, you'll receive gear through quest rewards until level 15, and then most of your gear will come from dungeons.

Thank you for the response!

It's interesting that you mention each server has a niche, cos that's what it seemed like what was portrayed on the forums and reddit. I am glad to hear most servers are identical, so thanks for that clarification!

Ah..pre-expansion lull - that would make a bit of sense! I am sure the majority of the community that will come back are heavily raid centric though?

Thanks for letting me know gear come in quest rewards till lvl 15. My problem was honestly just taking the money option instead of the gear! I had a quest that required me to equip a lvl 5 or above hat, but none in the armor shop in Limsa I could wear at the time. I figured out the vendor just below the quest giving NPC has all the gear you need to complete the quest...whew!

Thanks again for the response, I might look into Gilga.
