I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred more...

Okay, maybe not miles. In an effort at things, I'm trying to work up to that whole "walk 10,000 steps a day" thing. (I know for some of you out there, that's a joke. But for me, who is on a computer all day at work, then on a computer all day after work, it's not ever anything I've even gotten close to.) Apparently you can break that 10,000 steps

"these purchasable packs can flag scenario quests from the former Realm Reborn and Heavensward story progressions of the game as complete, allowing you to focus on the current and latest expansion. The yet-unnamed "Job boost" Tales of Adventure will be available for every job (except Red Mage and Samurai), and will raise said Job's current level to 60 upon purchase."

I'm really not sure how to feel about that. I mean, the first two story arcs are rather long. I'm working my way through Heavensward since rejoining a couple weeks ago. Which on that note...so I rejoined. Checked out my old FreeCompany - a group I played FFXI with, ran dynamis with them + more people long ago, eventually pared the group down and did smaller-group content like Salvage. Transitioned to FFXIV together. Real life stepped up and everyone took a break for a year or so (some went back to XI actually). So I was a bit sad when I checked the FC and clearly no one was playing anymore - one guy kept the housing claimed by logging in periodically. Asked around and the group was basically dead...so another group of people I know offered me a spot on a different server. I switched...and the next day got email from the old group, gauging interest in reactivating for Stormblood. And the new group flaked out completely and decided they didn't want to play after all.

And unfortunately, because Balmung, I can't transfer back. Argh. Really annoyed at SE blocking transfers - it isn't like the server is that full.

Welcome back to the game!

Yeah, unfortunately Balmung IS that full. We have way, way more people than the next highest server, and that's only counting level 50+ people. The server is teaming with low level RP alts. Counting them, we're more than double the population of the next highest server.

Luckily the transfers aren't closed for good! But still a pain now, for people who want to join us...

Yeah, the jump potions are causing a lot of disagreement. However (unfortunately) some people just don't care about the storyline, they just want to raid. So SE gets money and they get to do what they want... Plus RPers will be using them as well. My FC leader has leveled sight alts to max and completed the MSQ on them all. He said he would have used them if they had been available at the time.
