A couple of days of intense playtime means I hit level 20, and had to make a decision on whether to buy the game.
It was an easy decision, made when I hit 15 and discovered that I can fish.
So now I've purchased the full game from the Square Enix online store (at a heavily discounted price, curiously not listed on the FF14 site itself), which apparently includes both the base game and Heavensward. (Yes, I triple-checked; it's all listed on my account details page.)
While I wait for the servers to come back up, I should mention that I have the default 30 days of playtime for buying the game, but have not yet applied a subscription plan. From what I can see, if I get a Friend Code from another player, I'll be able to apply it and get a few goodies. Specifically, the "Friendship Band", which gives me some amount of extra experience at lower levels but more importantly it's a little feather tucked into my hair so cute.
Hopefully someone here will help me?
I'm also not sure if I should get the Standard Subscription right away, or try out the single-character (per World) Entry Subscription for now. Having done the big tour of the three starter cities and collected all the classes, I'm not sure I want to go through all that again on another character so soon. While technically I have 30 days before I have to decide, it does have implications on whether my first server transfer to Balmung is just the one character, or multiple.
