I was on Moonguard, indeed. Was on it way before the goldshire epidemic came around. Still makes me mad after all this time... *Seethe*
At first when I launched the game from the trail version I was like: "OMG what is with this global cooldown?!" Couldn't figure out the map/quest system... rage quitted until the next day, and then the next day I gave it another try and fell in love. Never had that happen before actually XD As I've been playing I'm liking the story more and more. And the side quests are entertaining! The one that's really gotten me so far is the quest to unlock the hair stylist. I couldn't stop laughing!
I haven't given much thought about my main yet. I made two characters that I'm in love with so far. The first is a Conjurer, simply because I am first and formost a healer OOC in any game I play, and she's a lot of fun to play. ...But then I made the Cat person Monjet Kaj'et Neko Miqo'te as a lancer, and she's adorable too! So I can't decide which I like more. I like healing, but ...kitty... Meow. >.<
I heard this game wasn't too friendly with alts? You can't mail to yourself, and also you get cross class abilitys if you level up multiple classes on one?
I don't suppose the words "COBRA" or "AEGIS" mean anything to you? xD The way you talked about it, it reminded me of Moon Guard during that era- it was pretty much a golden age for the game that hasn't been seen since. Those are some really good memories for me.
FFXIV took a few tries for me to get used to as well. This time is when I took the bait, hook, line and sinker all and have been playing pretty hard now for the last 2 months-ish. Wait until you get to the Hildibrand questline. That is completely hysterical, and I found myself in stitches more than once- think it kicks off around 50! Once you hit the level 50 main storyline quest, that goes full-throttle-Riker-grows-a-beard awesome. You're in for a real treat. I was yelling at the screen at one point. It's good.Â
Miqo'te master race. /grunt By the way, if you haven't noticed, you can have any character be any class- so just because you chose to start as a lancer for your Miqo'te, they can swap to a totally different class anytime you like! This feature unlocks along the main storyline quest- around 15 I think? It kind of makes alts completely pointless, save for aesthetics. xDÂ
And you're right- you can't mail to yourself- you have to mail to another person and then have them mail it to your other character. There are cross-class skills too which means leveling up all the classes on one character has a lot of payoff (so a lancer can use some monk and archer skills for example, once you unlock and level up those classes).
