    I think you just start walking out of the gate along the path towards Camp Black Brush and you should get a prompt not long after.

    This, except the prompt happens about where the road starts after leaving Ul'dah, but off to the west a bit on top of a small hill. If you run more than 1 grid square up the road, you've missed it; go back and try again but try more west next time.

    May I ask what you two are talking about?

    Hmmm, this game is going to be difficult to learn...It just dropped me in the middle of a city with no indication of what I should do or where I go.

    Also, this user interface is terrible. I'll see if using a controller is easier.

    Bri, not to harass you but do you think you will be on soon? Gunna try to snag a pearl before I leave work in the next 20-30 min.

    In the initial story quest, about halfway through there's an escort quest; if you start in Ul'dah you'll recognize it when you see it.

    In order to initiate the escort quest, you have to walk to an ambiguously-defined invisible point on the map (described by our directions to leave Ul'dah and go slightly west of the road). It's a little confusing if you've never done it before.

    I am sorry, but I will not be in game in the next 30 minutes. 1 hour isn't looking good either.

    I give everyone my assurance though that my only priority once I get in game will be distributing pearls for as long as it take to get everyone in. You will get your pearl as quickly as I can give it to you.

    (I am at 14% on the nearly half-gig patch.)

    You are probably in an instance right now, the game won't let you leave until you've done whatever. If you aren't, then just check your Journal and it should explain where to go.

    This game was DEFINITELY designed with a controller in mind, not Mouse + keyboard. After I switched to the controller, the UI is MUCH simpler and easier to use.

    The pearl won't fill tonight, that's for sure. I only have 10 names on the list so far.

    No, it is not up and running yet.

    No. I said an hour because that is what Chrome told me. However, the total from when I posted will be about 88 minutes.
