New to this forum, and new to 14 in general. Â I played a bit of it before Yoshida took over and between the computer spec requirements and the overall impression I took from the starting areas, I quit shortly after I started. Â
I'm looking towards Balmung as my server of choice right now. Â Mainly because it is the centerpoint for RP from what I've seen and I'm a sucker for the stuff. Â I'm hesitant to join a Legacy server however because I feel as though the strongest bonds are formed in an MMO when all parties involved are new and don't know what they're doing. Â They stumble, and flail and get lost and sometimes they die, and sometimes they succeed and from that they create stories. Â They grow together and it's that mutual growth that they go through that forges those special bonds. Â
There are a ton of benefits to starting on a Legacy server to be sure: the economy is more stable, starting areas are slightly less chaotic (only slightly I'm sure, hahaha.), and there are friendly people to look to when you're confused or stuck. Â But those same friendly people are the same folks who've gone through the growing pains together and while they're awesome and friendly and amazing for helping you, it's not quite the same as doing it yourself, with other folks who are just as new and just as dumb. Â
That's my two cents on it, anyway.
