Returning Player, A Few Questions.

[Xtravagent]

Hello! It's been a long time since I last logged in and played Rift. I have a level 65 Rogue on me, and I have absolutely no idea what to do. Should I buy the new expansion and level up, or is the expansion for free?

Upon logging in, I found a level 40 Boost, which I completely forgot how I got, and created a new character and used it on him. However I'm still in the starting area, and I thought I would be teleported to a suitable level area. Any idea what to do, or do I have to finish the tutorial first?

You have to buy Starfall to level above 65.

The level 40 boosts unlocks a lot of porticulums, but you have to make it out of the starting area first.
