...did WoW expansions require progression on every character to access new areas like the current system in FFXIV? Or was that progression unlocked account-wide as long as one character existed that could get to a new area?
I can and DO understand the gripes about having to chug through the story again for alts. There's a reason mine are below level 10 for the most part. One of the consequences of FFXIV being designed as a "your one character can do everything!" game is that it's extremely alt-unfriendly. SE looks to hopefully be changing that at least starting from now.
Off-topic side-note: We also haven't even gotten 3.1 yet. Let's uh...try to hold off potential anger at 4.0 which is probably 2+ years away?
WoW sort of requires it, and still sort of does, but not the same way. Â FFXIV has the main story quests, which you need to advance. Â WoW tends to have questlines which run through zones, but contemporaneous to each other, so you don't need to complete them all. Â You do need to have your character at a certain level (usually two levels below the former cap) to enter a new expansion's content.
So sort of? Â I guess? Â There's a level limit, but there's nothing like the MSQ which in XIV you must complete to carry on.
