Those are some really good memories for me.
FFXIV took a few tries for me to get used to as well. This time is when I took the bait, hook, line and sinker all and have been playing pretty hard now for the last 2 months-ish. Wait until you get to the Hildibrand questline. That is completely hysterical, and I found myself in stitches more than once- think it kicks off around 50! Once you hit the level 50 main storyline quest, that goes full-throttle-Riker-grows-a-beard awesome. You're in for a real treat. I was yelling at the screen at one point. It's good.Â
Miqo'te master race. /grunt By the way, if you haven't noticed, you can have any character be any class- so just because you chose to start as a lancer for your Miqo'te, they can swap to a totally different class anytime you like! This feature unlocks along the main storyline quest- around 15 I think? It kind of makes alts completely pointless, save for aesthetics. xDÂ
And you're right- you can't mail to yourself- you have to mail to another person and then have them mail it to your other character. There are cross-class skills too which means leveling up all the classes on one character has a lot of payoff (so a lancer can use some monk and archer skills for example, once you unlock and level up those classes).
Yeah. I figured out that part when I got the quest text "You may now join other guilds, but ....can you master this one first? Pretty please?!"Â Only I'm the kind of person who spent hours in the WoW Character select.... Can you imagine how long it took me for something as complex as Black Deserts? - Back to the point, when I create a character I think up of a quick personality and small backstory and get that bubbly feeling that you tend to get when you think "Oh my gosh, this is going to be so great!" (Though in the end it's bad and you realize you've made a terri-bad OC and need to hide your face in shame for a few days -.-) But, for the Miqo'te I made.... I don't even know if it'd fit the lore, I wouldn't dare RP it until I knew more but I envisioned her as some high-energy tribal woman from the north. (Again, I don't even know if this is a thing or some snowy mountainy land that I can substiute for it) who can be very dangerous (Queue Barbarian Rage from DnD) , but most of the time is gentle and oblivious. (In artist terms, this is my "rough sketch" of the character I'd like to play) So playing her as a healer would almost break that immersion for me.
