Guess I will continue, it's kinda fun writing this.
I hit 35 with my Paladin Tep. Decided to try out a different starting city/race/class. So created a Dreanai Shaman and been playing with him. Choose Skinning and Herbalism for him, based on advice here and been having a blast.
It's interesting to have nearly everyting at my disposal as a Shaman, Totems for Support, Healing Spells and DD abilities. I've been yelled at in Dungeon Finder for curing tanks, but, WTH if the tank is >25% health, I'm tossing him a cure. I know it switches, but typically it's tank dies, then healer dies, then the DD's starting whining, So a cure from me that prevents that is well worth it. Anyway
My Shaman, Olan, got a /random invite into a level 25 guild called Bearclaw. I must thank the people here that said to get into a guild. The perks are worth the chatter in the guild, If only I could figure out a way to turn off the 'ding' X has logged on' notifications. The perks have been useful.
The Hallows End event just started and it's been fun and refreshing to see an event not aimed at level 1 characters. In FFXI pretty much all events can be done by level 1-5 characters and ALL the rewards are typically level 1 holiday clothes - santa hats, shoes, suits, pumpkin heads, etc, with the rare level 30 rewards that teleport you to different cities ( 10 charges then gone though)
At level 31ish we died so many times, used my water walking to walk down the nearly the entire eastern side of the west contintent to get all the flight paths and get the accomplishment for getting all the treats on that continent. Finally figured out how to get to Stormwind and now currently having fun with stinkbombs, pumpkin heads, and getting all the flight paths on this continent.
