"Getting into MMORPGs can be very difficult and intimidating. Some of them cost real, cold hard cash and put you in places loaded with veteran players. It's definitely scary the first time around and the length of your learning curve can be determined by how well you prepared yourself, and how much help you get from other people. I played Final Fantasy XI for eight years! The first few months felt like a sensory overload – so much stuff going on, and the pressure to get to higher levels was infinite. Going over to Final Fantasy XIV, I held my chin up high, thinking my experience in XI would give me a head start in adjusting to the new MMO. Boy, was I wrong. These are the ten things I learned from playing XIV, with a little influence from its predecessor. It may seem like a lot to take in, so don't be afraid to ask questions in the comments."
