Greetings and Salutations!

[Skitto]

Hey Everyone, Im new here and Im kind of coming back even though ive never really had any high levels yet. Im just looking to start fresh and new server and make new friends. Any suggestions on servers and linkshells that might be good for new starting players?

Thinking about taking up BLM as starter if not maybe Warrior dont know yet ^^

Re: Greetings and Salutations!

I'd tell you to come hang out on my server, but honestly it's pretty top-heavy and everyone's just in a rush to level their sixth job to 75. I think I can count on one hand the number of people I know who have yet to get a job to 75 (myself included). I suspect it's a similar situation on all the servers though since the game is getting older.

Official business over...

I'd go with War to start. It's a good base job and blm can be a whore to level up as a first job.

As for servers, its the luck of the draw really. I've been on servers that people raved about and I thought were crappy. So it really is an individual opinion so you won't know till you try one!

Linkshells you will get into as you meet people. Be friendly and helpful and talk to people when you party. Eventually you'll meet someone that will invite you to one and it will be up to you to decide if the people in it are the kind you get along with.

Good luck and HAVE FUN...cause in the end thats all that matters.
