Legacy Players: Keeping Old Character or Starting Fresh?

[AFriendOfAFriend]

A warning to anyone planning on recreating their 1.0 character(s): This Lodestone post kindly informs Legacies that you will only have ONE opportunity to recreate your character(s), and that will be upon the first login. Don't miss out on your chance.

I just looked up my old character on the lodestone... level 31 CON, 20 THM, 14 tailor, 10 mining, etc.  Looks like I played more than I remember!  Now to decide if I am "missing" the experience of re-leveling those jobs on my way to 50...

That is kind of how I feel as well. I mean I did do a ton of work. I remember when crafting was a huge chore and I sat for 3 days straight like 5hrs a day doing nothing but crafting down a bunch of sheep and buffalo skins I had. 

 

Those kind of memories kind of pains me to think about starting over, but seeing as they are stream lining leveling I try not to worry much about it. Plus seeing as I had everything 30+ I would probably hit 50 pretty quickly and don't want to hit 50 so soon with nothing but end game dungeons to run.

Yeah, looks like leveling will be a lot less of a grind than in 1.0 (and FFXI).  But you can always get every job to level 50!  

 

I usually stop playing games when I get to the level cap, but I'm actually making an effort to make friends so I hope I'll have folks to do endgame content with.

Hahahaha, yeah I have a fear of getting to end game for the very same reason. I honestly think that the reason why I played XI on and off for 6 years was because it took me 2 years to get my first level 75 job lol. 

 

Maybe we can both keep poking each other to keep the other in the game once we hit 50 :thumbsup:

My plan was to resume my Legacy character. But then male Miqo'te happened ..

All 8 of my character slots are taken on Balmung. Many only have a couple levels. So I'm planning to tweak one or two of them for now. The rest I'm going to hold on to for future alts if I get the urge. :lol:
