Purple quest that starts in the main city in Rohendel after you've completed that continent. It's long.

I'll join in and say that the questing is laughingly bad but at least they are done so fast that you just mindlessly blow through it. It's a little be easier to take when your typical quest is to collect supplies but it only requires one or two and your done. If it was more like WoW where you had to kill mobs for drops and were at the mercy of rng all the time I think the leveling grind would be intolerable. The combat is fun and your constantly moving from content area to content area which sort of cancel out the uninspiring story.
This is one of those games to me where it's fun in the moment but you know at some point the burn out is coming. Could be a week, could be a month but you know it's coming. Maybe that's just my outlook on MMO's in general now since there are very games (if any) at this point in my life that can hold my attention beyond the honeymoon period (1 month tops). So just enjoying the ride for now, get to endgame and see how long that part will keep me interested.

IMO the MSQ is pretty bad. Some of these side, purple quests and such are pretty good though. From whimsical to serious.

Which part was outside of other games? I watched most of it on video. The floor slanting and going through doors thing was pretty wild. The mechanics of those boss fights are nuts for single party mobs.

Dude! I made this just for you while waiting for you to reply, so I'd have it all prepped and ready. Here ya go!!
I told you that skins give Rapport stats in my first reply to you.

they give you like 38 days for free, and you can get another 14+ for free with just amethyst crystals you get, so there's really no wrong time to start using it as soon as you want.

To echo Brahma's point, you're not too far in (if you're enjoying it) to roll East Coast. There are several advantages to this, mostly notably additional servers for the auction house and queues. The ping difference is negligible and it has the added benefit of having a fair amount of us on the server to help with things (there are groups and assistance available for most guardians & abyss dungeons)
I wouldn't disagree with this at all. I think LA is a game that you can have immense amount of fun playing but it shouldn't be aimed at capturing your attention without break for years. It's more in the Final Fantasy style where you enjoy your progression (which can vary from weeks to months) and then relax for a bit. The game will provide opportunities to come back at that point (new classes getting released - the class design is the best in the industry, new tiers of content/raids with catch up mechanics, etc). I don't view this as a 'bad' thing.
There are no buts!
I can honestly say that the group we have on Regulus is pretty amazing. EXTREMELY helpful.Voldeth needs to be given a medal for all his help and work! Along with everyone else.
While this is certainly kind, it's made easy by the fact that everyone is enjoying the game and there are a fair amount of active users, especially with good knowledge of the game like

.As an update to the guild, we should be getting another level shortly, which will allow us to add (hopefully more) folks. There is a limited amount of slots currently available in the alt guild as well (but that'll be easier to clean up). The easiest way to get an invite is to send me a message on Discord.
Looking forward to some of the GVG islands being made available. These reward additional materials, so there's certainly an incentive for us to do them. It's also not about being particularly good at PVP as we just need to medal to receive some awards.
I would say immediately even if the time is limited. Access to the additional Bifrosts makes things far more enjoyable (don't skip out on using them!). There's also a lot of 'free' additional time available if you end up enjoying things and sticking out longer. As an example, I've made a little over 100k gold since the start of the game. 30 days of the aura goes for 420 crystals on the market. If I used the gold solely for crystals, I'd net myself about 57,000 crystals (e.g. more free time than I'd ever need) so there's no real need to 'horde' it and I'd instead use it and see how you enjoy the benefits and whether there's value in sustaining it.

I don't have bifrosts yet, I'm only level 39!
