my only party experiance so far was onetime i got invited by a friend who was showing me the ropes, he was a level 30 at the time, and i was level 6 whm we started in bastok(my home area) and ended up past windurst, then he had to log out and said he would be back in an hour, so i was just exploring around and then he loged back in and said he couldn't get back to where i was, well long story short i was left to fend for my self and i had no idea how to get back to bastok, i ended up geting to the ship and then i died on the ship, and that was the second to the last time i played it because my pc needed to be rebooted and i lost my account name, lol
