Thanks for the well wishes. To answer crystalchan's questions: They made leveling at low levels easier (though not as easy as leveling post 75 in FFXI of course). I got from 85-90 in one night in FFXI, but it took me a week or so maybe to get from 80-85 in WoW. But they also made dungeons in catacylsm harder. You can't just AoE spam everything anymore, you need to use some strategy, crowd control stuff. But you'd want an average item level of about ilvl 346 to do cata raids (that is, higher rep gear and heroic gear).
But you need some better gear to get into heroics (go do regular dungeons until you can get rep gear, and other blues). It takes some time, but it's better than farming seals endlessly in FFXI, you get justice points you can spend on stuff instead of always depending on drops going your way. I like that I can accomplish stuff easier than in FFXI, you get money just for doing random dungeons. But a lot of people still suck and have crappy gear. Oh well. It'll get better.
I left things open in case I DO want to return to FFXI, but I'm hoping things in WoW continue to go well.
