You'll basically be starting from scratch, but without the annoyance of having to re-do certain quests and missions.
Unless you want to do those, that is.
You could always pay for a world transfer if you want to try a new server without abandoning your character. But really, most servers are the same. And Odin is pretty damn populous, so I'm not sure how you expect to find more people elsewhere. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-23-2008, 10:29 AM | #3 (permalink) | | Paragon of Bard Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 201 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 21 Thanked 18x in 15 Posts Gil: 24,602 Bank: 1 Total Gil: 24,603 Donate | Re: REturning after 2+ year break According to FFXIAH.com Odin is still pretty big. I wouldn't suggest creating a new character, because even though a clean slate is nice, you'd have to repeat the subjob quest, you'd have to re-level crafting, you'd have to get access for Kazham again (Well, if you haven't already that is), etc. etc. etc. BRD 75 WHM 44 NIN 23 WAR 20 THF 16 RDM 16

Level a new job that you can use to get back into the swing of things, and also slowly build some funds. Level several jobs from 1 to 10 and you'll be banking the gil. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-23-2008, 11:01 AM | #7 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 3 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,145 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,145 Donate | Re: REturning after 2+ year break thanks for all your input everyone, really can't wait to get started always wanted to level my SAM, plus as i said in my other post i don't have ToAU or WoG expansions so i guess leveling jobs 1-10 to get back into will be great and help me decide if i wanna spend the cash to get the other 2 expansions to further my play =D thx again cya all in-game! | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
