Returning player, quick question

[mushy]

I played the original FFXIV, and I played through a lot of FFXIV:ARR but left before the story ended.

1. If I buy the latest expansion, do I get all the previous expansions + Shadowbringers?
   
   
2. Since I still have not beat ARR, or anything from the expansions that came after that; is it going to be near impossible for me to find a group to do all that dungeons, and story missions from ARR-> onward?
   
   Since it has been so long I was thinking about making a new character, and starting from scratch with ARR because I forgot all of the story stuff anyway, and would feel better playing it versus just catching up via cut scenes player in the mog house(I remember that being an option.)
   
   
3. Is there anyway to get any of the special items from my old character that were only obtainable by playing the original FFXIV previous to ARR launching. Are they account wide(like the cheaper monthly fee I know is account wide) but what about the mount, and minions, and some other things that you got by playing the meteor hitting the world missions from the ending months of OG FFXIV? Does anyone know about that stuff being able to be carried over?
   
   
4. My old character is on an EU server for some reason(they moved it apparently) while I live in NA. What are 2 or 3 of the best, most populated, and ideally nicest community servers for NA?

-In the event I have to transfer my original character over because the server became EU, and I have to use my old character because I cannot get my old pre-ARR collectibles if I make a new character on a NA server.

I miss play MMORPGs, and was thinking about going back to FFXI. Saw FFXIV just got a new expansion so I thought I might just dive in here again. Could anyone answer my questions please?


Thank you,
Mushy

1. Yes

2. No, Players have a thing called Roullettes this allows Players who want to Level Up other characters get High boost of Exp by doing any dungeons that maybe in need. Even if they have max Characters (which I don't think so yet) they have items to give Materia and other Materials to give Higher Level Gear, so they will never be a really hard find of old content.

3. Their isn't much, but if you had ARR 1.0 account it will turn into a Legacy and any created character will be considered a Legacy Character. They get some alternate cutscenes but nothing that is that big.

4. They are a lot of good NA servers, Gilgamesh, Leviathan and Behemoth (I think) are very High Raid communities so they are less forgiving to new players or players that don't know what they do. While not all, most Ultros are very sour. Balmung is said to be crazy with Role Players. But other then that I feel that the communities are nice enough.

there was a tattoo that appeared on 1.0 characters, a special goobue mount, 1-2 minions(i know one was of the meteor that hit the planet in 1.0), a title i do believe.
can these things not be brought over to a new character? or only 1.0 characters?

Sorry my wording is kind of Off, and I didn't fully read that " - " piece. I should have said, Characters before 2.0, meaning any Old Character but newly created characters.

For sure, the Tatoo will not be obtainable if you make a new character., but other items suchas the Mount or minions could be world wide. But I have no Legacy characters to begin with.
