I still don't understand the logic of "we are deliberately bottlenecking this so later zones don't crash the server" when it just means that everyone hangs out in the Fringes anyway -- and the servers seem to be completely fine with that.

I heard shatter was the best xp/time for pvp, but I had a 30 minute queue when I tried to join it before the big DC.

My queues are less than a minute and yeah, Shatter is quite good. It takes 12-15 minutes and you get 50 Poetics and 600k+ exp depending on your level.

Servers are starting to have players that are using their two person mounts to carry players across and over the wall instead. Incredible.

For me, I've done 11 frontline roulettes, won 3, and that leveled my SAM to 52.

I didn't mean it in that way as "reporting" sorry for the mis-post. People are carrying people over the wall, some servers for free others are charging fees.

It works. you have one person on the other side with the mount's model sticking through the gate so they can be clicked. invite to party, person hops on, then off and is on the other side and can go exploring.

loving human ingenuity. Rapidly this is becoming a golden opportunity for crafters, who can go into high-level Ala Mhigo territory and get stuff, apparently.

The fact that real life players are attempting to find a way around an artificial blockade placed there by Square Enix is truly choice. It's quite poetic, given the themes of the expansion.

I'm not sure if it's as good sub 60 because I did PotD from 50-60. But, at 62, PotD gives 440(ish?)k experience for 12-15 minutes, and PVP gives about 700k for 12-15 minutes. Palace is probably faster up to 60 though.

The story of the 90k's. I'm torn between red mage and samurai at the moment. Samurai has great aesthetic and I generally enjoy melee, but Red Mage has some awesome stuff as well, but get ready to battle res people constantly.

Sadly I must, cause of all these disconnects and potd being the most efficient time to xp for 50-59 I'm trying ot make the most of what little time I'm granted before the inevitability of death disconnect happens.

It looks like I've been susano-ed by the 54 SAM quest. Tried doing it, got booted when it tried to load, and now whenever I finish the queue I instantly get a 90002 DC. Been this way for about a half hour.

is it even worth logging into Excalibur right now? Can you even do so? I could turn on my A/V system and give it a try + watch bad tv on the laptop, or I could clean my house and settle in for an evening of movies on the big screen.

Yep, I'm now stuck in a 90k loop. Get in queue, get to front, 90k. Game ever so briefly goes black screen before disconnecting me.
