I have been feeling pretty nostalgic recently, and wanted to revisit Vana'diel and catch up on some of the newer content that I missed out on since quitting (I quit shortly after completing WoG). However I cannot for the life of me find or remember any of my old log in details.
Has anyone had any luck reactivating an account without any of their original log in details? If so, what info did you need? IIRC they used to be pretty strict when it came to account recovery, and I am not sure whether I have a chance or not.
On another note, how effective are alter ego's? The game looks a lot more accessible to both casual and new players now, and so I might even consider starting a new character from scratch if I can effectively progress solo in my own time.
Thanks!
My wife and I just started back up after 4 years. SE customer service is decent if you have some of your old information... Name, address, birthday and stuff like that... Worst case buy a new copy of the game.
As for alter egos... they are broken. Imagine walking around with a party ALL the time. The AI is questionable but they are not much different from the average lazy player we all had to deal with before so not really an issue. Starting fresh and having to learn all the new stuff I have gotten War, Nin, Thf, and Mnk to 50, whm and blm to 20+, rdm to 30 and Bst to 40. Not sure what to play yet. On top of that I am rank 2, have mounts and teleports to most of the original game areas. All of that in under 24 hours of play time but to be fair I did a lot of leveling with the exp bonus last week.
Until late game there is almost not reason to group up... Trusts don't take exp, exp for everything was doubled a few years ago, EXP rings are now 5k, 10k or 15k bonus depending on which you buy. Most wait a RL day quests have changed to hours... wait hours turned to minutes. Leveling here solo is faster than most other MMOs solo. Most maps are now bought instead of quested. RoEs give a lot of Sparks(currency) which can be converted to gil at about a rate of 1:10. In that 1 day play time I have made well over 400k and never used the AH.
