I wish I could have played longer, damn work. Anyway I decided at 23.50 that I'd have played my shaman, I'm not even sure why, I just like the class, but the others will certainly follow soon enough. At 23.55 I had the quest popping up, I watched the pretty cinematic and started the artifact quest shortly after. Even the part where you meet the other players busy killing the same stuf you need goes quite smoothly because shared mobs and quick respawn eliminated all potential problems.
I started in Azsuna and at 101 I went back to the order hall to start the quests for the followers. I can't wait to get on again and by the way, Enhancement is a beast.
