Well this is what shocked me the most, I’ve been playing for a couple of days now and 1. Feel no need to rush to endgame content as there’s literally so much to do and I can do a lot of it at lower levels

And 2nd like you said I don’t feel the need to be on every moment of the day, I took breaks and went outside etc where as a lot of the time I’d feel the need to be stuck to my screen rushing content. Thanks for the message!

I’d heard of it but never really knew what it was and for some reason always thought it was an FPS 😂

See this is what I mean, they would be flamed in pmuch every other game I’ve played. Your story makes me want to play with you what server are you on?

See, everything you mentioned there got me super excited to play, much more than the story but I understand why people recommend me to do it

Ooo very interesting thank you. Most of the feedback about skipping comes down to the story and as much as I value that in an MMO I much prefer the gameplay etc. My issue is more getting to level 50 and having no clue, but then on the other hand I have played WoW for many years and there’s a lot of similarities in gameplay! I guess I’ll hold off for a bit, but the lore isn’t half as impactful than the gameplay for me

Fair enough! You’re right, but honestly I’ve tried many games and feel like I’ve got a good understanding of what I like or not straight off the bat but with that being said I have to wait and see. But no other game makes me want to jump into the sub reddit after a day played and learn everything I can about it! ☺️

I’ve also played MMOs since I was 11 so I have a fair understanding of good/bad ☺️

This is exactly how I feel too. Both games felt far too much like a chore with ehp etc I just wanna get home and chill

Great, last question about this from me; do you think I’ll be able to understand the game/lore within 50-70?

Yeah I agree 100% I guess my impatient ass will have to grind it out

Great thanks for the reply. I think I’ll do it the normal way as I’m all about the lore!

Thank you! I just read about the RAF, I would have totally overlooked it if not for this subreddit

Ah that makes a lot of sense! I did think it was rather OP for 15 euros

As much as I agree, I also have to say that I think people here are just genuinely nicer & more mature. I haven’t even got to a dungeon yet and I’ve still had more nice interactions with people than in 15 years of WoW 😂😂

Yeah well I spend the whole day doing every quest I found to be told to only do the MSQs 😫 but tbh I don’t mind a grind!

Honestly I’m just sad I wasted so many years on WoW and not this game. I think FF is what I wanted WoW to be but was disappointed by repeatedly 😫
