Old Noob Help

Is there a site anywhere so I can catch up with what's been happening?
I quit in July 2013 and due to return at the weekend. I know there is some trust npc thing but that's about it

Thanks

You can go through the dev tracker on SE's forums. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15848037&pp=0
or the version update thread on the same forum.

There's also bgwiki, which has all the monthly updates going back quite a while. The only problem is they don't link the pages anywhere, so you have to input the URL's yourself. i.e.
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/March_2015_Version_Update_Changes
Change the month + year, etc.
https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/February_2014_Version_Update_Changes

thank you
