Considering that this thread is still active, can I ask a question?

I am wondering whether you guys are active during EU time? (This is probably in the forum on ffxionline.com) but I haven't had a chance to register yet.

A linkshell would be handy for me, as a new player, and I do not see myself going inactive within two weeks but I do have a pretty tight schedule coming up. (Exams etc). To be honest, I could really use the help to learn the ropes of this game and hope that I will be able to do something in return later on.

I am currently planning to level a Lancer, but I believe FF XIV still allows the Class switching?
