Is this season okay/good for a new player?
Hi, i feel like trying the game again, but i remember readign that some seasons are better than others for new players. so i was just wondering if now is a good time to start playing again. Thanks in advance. (Last time i played was years ago, so sorry if i'm lacking into the informations)

This season is okay for a new player. It's definitely not a "good" season, but it's serviceable for a first-timer. It also helps players get acquainted with most of the game, and the amount of gold in the market isn't extremely high to the point where everything is completely unapproachable.

I tried to play this game yesterday . Took me forever to get it downloaded . File corrupted (related to fonts idk ) had to redownload like 3 times and also my account was suspended (tried making two accounts… second got suspended when I used the 115 level up or whatever ).
Maybe my experience was a one off but can’t believe how hard it is to access the game itself. I gave up and deleted lol

I know most of the time you can get a max level character right away but im already half way with the story on my other character im just going to finish that lol lvl like 65 or something now

There's leveling event for 2 characters that give decent creature/title/aura at least, which is usually the big gold sink. There'll be another leveling event in November as well.
And if you start now you can make 2 odyssey characters (simplified scenario + slightly tougher fights but let you level at like 3x normal scenario speed) right before the monthly reset for 2 more (due to one of the game system, you kinda want a fair amount of alts even if they're given 0 investment)

It's always a good time to start. You're regularly given a fast track to just before endgame gear.

New players will keep getting your account banned. I suggest not playing.

No, there's a lot of things that new players will go through that is just too painful, unless you think about to start with your credit card on your hand already. But there's not much point on going into details for this, just keep in mind that if you going f2p you are doomed, and you'll 100% be banned at some point.
If you want to hop in the game and just play solo, that's fine tho but you also will be losing some of the good content the game has.
I wouldn't recommend to start the game as a new player tho, unless you want a giga time sink on something that doesn't worth your time wasted. But again, maybe it's what you looking for, so you need to decide that for yourself.

It really depends on your luck. Casually should be fine, but getting gear and progressing can be quite difficult.
Mid November new characters are being added. Though if you've already started there's a nice cosmetic event about to end, should have just enough time to get and open the nice clothing box: https://www.dfoneople.com/news/events/4872/7-Day-Journey-for-Sky-of-a-Thousand-Seas?page=1

If your soloing its fine but if your trying to party that prob going to take awhile. Right now every middle to big event gives out rare avatars, and doom the new mat to do he'll mode like candy.
