I'm going to give this game a try, and have a few questions. I've been poking through wiki.ffxiclopedia.org, but it hasn't answered everything for me.
How many characters can I have? It's a minor issue, since I can just pick up new classes whenever I want, but I;d still like to try other races. I read something about additional slots being purchasable, but can't find it anymore. Can I have characters on multiple servers, or do I get one character on one server only?
What happens to an account that is closed? I've heard anything from characters might be deleted, to characters will definitely be deleted, to the entire account becomes invalid and you have to buy another copy of the game to play again.
How's the community? Friendly? Elitist? Is there any decent roleplaying to be found?
Any suggestions for a server to start on? Has one become an unofficial roleplaying server? Is it easier to get low-level groups on newer servers?
Thanks in advance.

Characters are held for at least a year, just make sure you cancel the ID and not delete the character when you wanna stop for a little bit. If for some reason you still lose the character SE might be able to still recover it for you, you just have to talk to tech support.
Personally I'd stay away from Asura, but that is just because I am there and know the bads of the server. I'd recommend finding a friend to play with and going to their server. Much better game when you have friends to play with.
just don't delete the character when you un-sub.
My character was there for 12 months of un-sub.
