friend missing road to 60 on same server? and 15 days free sub

[Chena]

ok me and my best friend and roommate both bought the complete edition of the game for ps4 were both on the siren server

i get things he does not
i get road to 60 buff he does not
i got free 15 days of game time for reaching level 30 he did not

the only difference is he leveled a char to like level 8 on the free trial then deleted that char when upgraded to full game i never got around to creating a char during the trial but that should't effect anything.

its very frustrating as he can't keep up with me cause i get alot more exp then him is there some way to fix this?

Did you both create characters on the same world at the same time? If your friend did not create theirs during the time Siren was a preferred world, then they would miss out on the Road to 60 bonus.

[Chena]

yes we created them same time and siren is still a prefered world so he should be getting it

Siren was changed to a Standard world as of 28th November so should no longer be Preferred, per SE's update on Lodestone. Unless I'm missing something...

ya i see that now and relized i made my char week before him so i get the buff and free 15 days he gets screwed if wasnt so far along would just start over cause now he has to work twice as hard on all jobs were i get bonus exp on them all

Well since siren is no longer a preferred world you will only get the exp buff for 90 days past whenever you created your character, so you won’t be getting a big bonus over your friend forever.

Exp rains from the sky as it is.
You don't work very hard to level up these days. It's nothing to fret over I don't think.
