What do I lose if I buy the base game and not heavensward? I want to give this a try (and the trial for some reason refuses to work on my pc), and the base game is cheap enough to give it a spin before sinking in.

You won't be able to make an Au Ra for your character's race and that's about it. Everything else about Heavensward is only accessible after you hit level 50 and complete the entirety of the base game's story

Technically leveling past 50 is gated until you buy the expansion (and you hit 50 long before you're done with the base storyline) but you don't really start gaining a significant amount of post-50 experience until HW so it's not that big a deal anyway.

the msq goes up to 50 so you definitely don't 'have' to be fifty pre-msq completion and it's probably the best way to not go insane doing it

In Wow you get an instanced housing like area, that you can do dailies for gold. So more alts more dailies x10. People got mad and said they didn't have money to repair, and the gms made fun of him questioning him how he needed 10 alts to support a mains repair bills and how in the hell did he do it before the expansion.

Not only is it tradable, there's a version of it (Light Galerus, I think) that doesn't even have class requirements and is level 1, so you can just look like that as anyone.

There is SOME kind of effect they do during the BLM questline, for the quest giver, that allows her to actually do the 'shadowed face, glowing eyes' effect. But it's never appeared anywhere else.

They use the glowing eyes effect on Fray during the 30-50 DRK quests so I'm guessing is just something they don't want to overuse in the cutscenes.

It works perfectly fine, I've transferred two separate characters, both during holy poo poo primetime, and neither took more than like ten minutes to resolve.

Could have sworn the restriction stopped me from transferring when I tried doing it, but that was like 7 months ago so it could have changed and also I could be remembering wrong.

I just transferred my dude from the random server my friends picked at release to excalibur today, and the transfer completed in seriously like 2 minutes. I had to stop and double check the email because I thought it was just a notification that the transfer process was started, not that it had already completed and I could log in.

I was actually referring more to all the post-MSQ quests, which you do need to be 50 for. That said, obsessive sidequesting meant I hit 50 well before I reached the end of the story (I think I was just before Garuda when I hit the level cap initially) and because I'm a crazy person I actually went back and leveled another class all the way to 40-something before continuing the story because I'll be wasting all that EXP! and you definitely shouldn't do that, it's a bad loving idea.
