Figured I should put this up somewhere.  I got my brother a 7 day trial pass and started a character to catch up to him.  It's my first new character since Drop 3 and all the changes at the lower levels.  I do have a complaint, that it's my 7 day trial code and he can't whisper me.  If we weren't playing together, we still had to be in a party to communicate.  That was mildly-to-moderately irritating.  Fair enough he can't whisper anyone else, but I did give him the code.
 
On to the meat of this topic, though...
 
I did run the tutorial ship for completion's sake, so I didn't get to try the whole skip-to-the-end thing, but can I just thank you guys at Carbine from the bottom of my heart for the rental mounts?  Celestion moved a lot quicker with that rented equivar.  Also, I ended up leaving Celestion with about twice as much money as I had leaving Algoroc the last time and had no trouble buying a mount, a few dyes, all the things I needed to finish my novice tailoring, the works.
 
Base leveling process is a lot easier through those introductory zones now.  I caught my brother just before he hit the Torine chapter in Celestion.  Having a mount and a bit more spending money eased up the only two bits of Celestion that annoyed me.  So just saying that worked well, thanks for introducing it, keep up those QOL improvements!

			Thanks for the feedback Vic!Great to get input from a vet player on the early level changes, I've been meaning to start an Aurin alt so may just do so with the next Drop! :D

Totally agree! 
 
I also LOVE the new low level runes you can buy from the vendor. It's fast, it's cheap and more DPS = faster questing!

			Yeah, I started up another alt the other night and those rental mounts make all the difference. Thanks a ton!

Yeah I started a new character to play with a friend who just got the game, and the low level areas are so much better this time around. The mount and ruins makes everything so much smoother.
 
Edit: Oh and thank you for making the rental mount 24 hours of game time, and not real time. Means no one should ever need to buy it more than once per character. (Which I did because I figured it was 24 hours real time and didn't play that character for a fe days...)
