You havent missed much, there's so much wasted potential, and their story has gone to crap since Wrath of the Lich King lol.

I'm glad the story and lore of Eorzea is so rich lol

I've never played it tbh.

It's crazy how bad WoW's quality has dipped, XIV is really showing them how its done. WoW has had like 3 small updates, and it's likely they're pretty much done til the next expansion.

Yeah, takes the fun out of it I think.

Aye, it's a good decision IMO, it means that story is important, in WoW, you could totally skip stuff like Outland and Northerend if you wanted, lol, even more so now that you can pay to be level 90.

Probably because they can't just jump into the HW stuff, I think that may be quite unusual for an MMO.

True, there's been a lot of green leafs around lately, a lot more than I expected during the lull lol.

Yeah, it only struck me how long the queues will be as a DRG, hopefully I'll be lucky enopugh to get caught up with the influx of new players who have started playing for Heavensward though.

Awesome, should be able to get a few of them to help if needed lol, plus I can tank/heal stuff upto level 30

I'll probably play on that character again later, might see if I can get through the story before Heavensward.
