My sub ran out about 6 months ago (I think? :/) and I got super busy and didn't have time to play. Things have settled and I've found myself with a few hours of free time as of late. What's changed? Any noteworthy additions to the game since the Heavenward release patch?
Thanks!

If youre asking if theres anything noteworthy on the day an EXPANSION that you had to pay an additioal30+ bucks for launched. Then ummm, that would be a VERY long list.
This is an expansion after all (not a free every 3 month update patch) so it would be expected that there are WAY too many noteworthy things to list. Lets just say they charge you for a reason

Depends on how invested you were in XIV before your sub lapsed. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?) Things hadn't changed too much since HW launched and not much is changing with 3.15 either. If you were the type who stayed up to date on gear and content, it's the same game as 6 months ago. If you're the type that believes leveling everything to 60 is "content" and you only have 1-3 60s, you still have plenty to do and some new ways to gear up those 60s.
Otherwise, it's the same game you left. They added a mini game to Gold Saucer that got abanonded after a week, some new dances..a few new hairstyles..more Mogstation purchases. And yeah, since the Heavensward Patch you're still going to be hanging in Idlyshire if you do have a reason to go there (Tomes/Law gear stuff like at launch.)
3.2 is when some things change (fairly minor when you think about it) since you'll be able to LIGHTLY meld raid gear and they're changing the overmeld spec which is probably the biggest draw, unless you like this game's PvP, as 3.2 is designated the "PvP overhaul patch." 3.1 only added like..4? Story quests..probably the shortest amount added ever, so if you care for the storyline, you'll get caught up insanely quickly.
So in 6 months time, given the type of game this is, nothing changed too much and depending on your server, based on Official Forums..it seems the population is thinning. So if you played on Gilgamesh or Balmung or Lamia it'd be business as usual.

The biggest changes for me were flying, the size of the maps, and the addition of Alexander Normal mode alongside Savage. Everything else though is a repeat of 2.0. Lots of story, gear up through dungeons/end game, a few Primals, normal and extreme etc.
The new story/leveling will definitely take up a good chunk of time (one job to 60). Probably in the vicinity of 50 hours (mostly because you have to walk everywhere until you unlock flying per zone).

I wasn't clear, sorry. I meant anything new after HW release patch. I think I got a few jobs to 60 before I left.
Oh and anyone from The Kraken Club on Ultros still active? I looked at our old website and it doesn't seem like anyone plays anymore.
