    Hi friends,

    I'm looking to get back into this game, as when I played it about a year ago, I really enjoyed it. I've played up until about level 30 on a lancer, and now I'm looking at getting back into it as maybe some sort of healer character. I just want to know if any GB guys are still into this game? It'd be nice to get into the FC and have a sort of active community to chat with.

    I know that I'd have to switch my realm thing to Ultros as an EU guy, but I read someone saying that both NA and EU servers are based in Canada anyway, so I've heard the ping issue isn't too much.

    Would love to hear some feedback from you guys. Many thanks in advance

    Yep, there's a group of 20-30 regulars and a whole bunch of others that still play there. Send in an application to GBomb on Ultros and you'll almost certainly get in

    Is now a good time to get into the game? I've played it before, and got to about level 30 with a lancer, but the class kinda got boring and I didn't fancy playing it anymore.

    I've thought about getting back into the game as some sort of healer class so I can be useful in groups and have shorter queue times. What's the best healer class to start with, and is the game still worth me playing? I've got a bit of free time on my hands, so I'm looking for a game to dedicate myself to a little.

    I still play occasionally, I just procrastinate way too much. I had to change my password last night after finding out my account was temporarily disabled due to suspicious activity. Turns out all my stuff was still there, so woooo!

    Well we're about two months away from an expansion, that gives you plenty of time to get a character to 50 and clear the story if you're interested

    As for healers, Conjurer (White Mage) generally puts out the biggest heals and is simpler to use, while Arcanist (Scholar) gets some neat tricks - like a healing pet - and rarely worries about running out of MP.

    I dunno if I can definitively say it's still worth playing for you... 1-50 is certainly the most linear part of the whole deal, and other than the story it can be a bit boring at times. That said it's still a chance to explore the game and that can be interesting for its own sake on the way to the level cap. Once you hit that point, there's a ton of neat things to do and the experience changes dramatically (for the better in my view)

    So I'd say go for it

    Sounds pretty cool. I've been looking for an excuse to get into the game anyway, and this is enough to get into it. Is the free company guide here still good, or will it be easier to PM someone in game? I've never joined an established FC before. I hope the guild is active/friendly :D

    RMT spam has been hellish lately so a lot of people have turned their tells off. You can follow that guide to the house, but if you start as a conjuror you won't be able to get there until level 15. However if you see anyone with the Vinco guild tag next to their name you should be able to examine them and send in an application, or if all else fails use Say, Shout, or Yell to get their attention.
