Problem is, I'm one of those RPing nerds. And at the moment, both the "unofficial" servers for it are congested, with Balmung being the big one recommended to folks, and Gilgamesh being the other. Otherwise, I'd agree completely in that it'd be more prudent to get them to make alts to join me on Goblin. That does answer my question though, so, I suppose I can ask if anybody thinks if the level/story boosts are worth the cost. Less out of intent to buy, more curious of general opinion.
