I'm parked in the Uldah inn until the game goes live. If I do anything Wednesday it's going to be desynth farming on old primals. Demimog Demimateria is always in demand because Mog weapons and cute and everyone likes those. I think all the friendly players are just waiting for EW to drop. RPR, SGE, SMN have a lot of hype behind them.

Game will light up like a Xmas tree on Friday-Saturday.

All those friendly players will probably be back at that time.

I wouldn't take it personally if you royally fuck up. If I do it my reaction is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO43ocCBUCE

As screwups in later content is generally a one shot mechanic.

A warning for the new trials/raids is try to avoid any groups that are very much in a "Know the fight after 6 hours of release or get kicked" mindset. Most aren't but they do exist.

Personally I'll be labbing the new jobs and doing leveling OUTSIDE of instanced content for a few days. And if I do queue for content it'll be inhouse with my FC for smooth queues.
