All your poo poo carried over. So you come in at the beginning of the 2.0 MSQ with a bunch of 50s you don't know how to play.

Even in death, 1.0 still had one final "gently caress you" to players. :allears:

I believe in 2.0 fracture was worth it on dragoon, though the first round of buffs in 2.1 ended that.

So were they just deposited at the beginning of the MSQ at 50 and forced to level-sync their way through the whole thing?

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

Yes. I came in with a level 30 lancer and my first 8 hours of the game were spent getting caught up on msq.

At least there's level sync. Lesser games would make you go through all those dungeons at max level. :v:

I still say it's fun to go back into the older threads and see just how goddamn far we've come. Especially the old 1.0 threads, full of despair.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3353297 - original retail thread, the dawn begins to break on page 62.
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3433215 - Yoshi-era 1.0, ends when the servers go down.
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3516878 - the transition, beta, and launch 2.0 thread. Watching people realize the game is good in this thread is just :allears:-inducing.

Now, of course, we get to fill the current thread with talk of bad DRKs and fracture. :v: So far, yet still so near~

The funniest part of the 1.0 thread is the predictions for how Square would fix it. I don't think anyone predicted the way it turned out.

Also the people defending 1.0, which I will never understand

I did the entire 2.0 MSQ as a level 50 PLD in full AF.

I had everything from 1.0 combat-related except ARC at 50, it took me a long time to pick everything up.

They also extended maintenance already on everything but the game, so there's a decent chance that hour will stretch.

But how much does a MSQ give? Higher experience numbers is meaningless without context for how much experience you gain.

If you're in the UK, you're on BST and not GMT. Though for example http://www.whattimeisit.com/ seems to call that GMT still.
