I had a female Lalafell stand next to me and spam their laugh emote. It was terrifying, to say the least.

Back when I started the game and didn't know about the ways of the bots, i saw some low level mob being aggroed in the shroud. Tried to look at their target since nobody was around but it was a weird gibberish name and when i tried looking at them it would just give me an empty circle on the groud. Little did I know the bot was below the ground.
The other actually creepy thing I experienced was a player I met. We spent quite a long time talking and playing together, but when i was invited to his wedding some time later i had a chat with another guest and it turned out that guy was quite the creep. Always found some female Miqo / Hyur / Au Ra in short clothing, talked to them to make sure they were actually girls in rl and basically stalked them until he found a new one. But as we all should know, mmo players are all desperate loners with no gf, the tv will tell you :P -

I guess a lot of people think along the same design lines? Combined with the limited choice of scar options. But for me, I liked the combination of the really elegant look with that nasty scar (and a hairstyle that attempts to hide it) - gives an idea of an interesting character. -

Back when the servers were under the stress of all the DDOS nonsense, not long after Stormblood launched, I was with a group learning Lakshmi and I got pushed off the edge.
Except I didn't just fall into nothing.
I fell... and I fell... and I fell.
The arena went bright pink/yellow, then dark, then blue, then white.
It was both creepy and cool at the same time. -

In 2014, I was playing with my Lalafell character on the Odin server. Then out of nowhere this Hyur Midlander came and started telling me how he likes my character's feets and that he wants to do certain things (wont say it here, because I do not want be banned) with them. I ignored him and moved on. The next day he starts asking me for my personal information, so I blacklisted him. He whispered me again with his alts and became aggressive whenever I told him to quit harrasing me. I thought he was trolling me, so I lied that I was a minor in the hopes that he would quit and leave me alone. I was wrong, he kept harrasing me. I reported him to the gamemasters and moved on.
Never experienced someone like him in a mmorpg before, not sure if he was a pedophile, realy into Lalafellins feet or just a troll. -

I guess this can count as creepy? I know they were rping, but still. :B
I was at the fc chest in Gridania's GC headquarters, and some female miqo'te approaches me and sends me a tell, saying something along the lines of her Master was waiting for me and wanted to see me. She then requested I follow her. I didn't and ran to the big aetheryte and she followed me there and stood beside me, staring at me...
I then hastily went to my fc house in the LB and they didn't follow. Phew. -

The creepiest thing I've seen happened a few days ago, whilst in Gridania at the market boards, I could hear a repetative, kind of croaking sound... and saw a pair of legs behind one of the marketboards, a level one character called Mr.Squeaky with bright lipstick and eyeshadow was emoting behind the board... then immediately logged off. I found that weird and creepy Oo

These creepy stories are turning into creeper stories. Here's another.
When I was playing as my male Highlander alt when going through the story in Coerthas. I was in a cutscene with Haurchefant, when I heard the tell sound effect. Once I was out of the cutscene. I read the message which was a complement about my Highlander. I thanked him and moved on. He sent me a friend request and I accepted. I was in another cutscene when another tell sound effect popped. This time he was there next to me and saying what he would like to do to my Highlander. It got gross. I decided to take a break and log off. Needless to say, it was a Lalafell. -
11-02-2017, 05:04 AMTsumdereMy friends and I call this phenomena "duskwight.png". They ALL use the facial tattoos and all the damn facepaint. It's strange that putting absolutely nothing on your face makes you the most unique in the crowd.Quote:

Once, I saw someone in Limsa Lominsa. But right away I knew something was off because they were standing in what I knew to be the zone line, as in they were beyond it.
So I walked a bit closer, careful not to go over the line.
After a short time of me looking at them, untargetable; they disappeared.
It was Edda from the MSQ/PotD.

Any time I'm near Spirithold I see the gate go up and down randomly when no one is around. Always used to creep me out.

TamTam Hard takes place before PotD, and fills in some gaps. If you haven't run it yet, I recommend it. Find a party that will let you read the journals.Quote:

11-06-2017, 03:06 PMBigRed5392my g/f had similar happen in ff11, for 6 mnths some random jerk would /tell her "do you wanna kick a dude in the >>>> " "would you kick a guy in the >>>>> " "if you got paid would you" "are you a guy?" she humored them for a bit saying no. then he would escalate it, saying stuff like "you are a liar you are a guy, im going to report you my buddy is a gm" everyday from log in to log out this guy would pm her for 6 mnths, she blocked every alt he made, slowly filling up her black list. It was to the point where she wanted to quit ff11, she ended up moving servers. And to this day she didn't know who it was. Just happen to cyber stalk her by pming her every time she logged in, almost immediately, they would pm her.Quote:

11-06-2017, 09:53 PMVivi_BushidoI have always wondered, after you complete PotD and free her spirit, does she still appear as a wondering ghost around the three cities?Quote:

Back in 2014 on my first character, I was playing a female hyur. I was just running around Ul'dah, doing some quests, when all of a sudden, someone starts sending me tells about how sexy my character is and how they want me to follow them outside of the city to a nearby secret private place. I was so creeped out. I told them that I'm not interested and continued on my quest. They started following me and kept sending me tells. I asked my friends how to blacklist someone and after they told me how, I blacklisted them. I still saw them following me, but thankfully the tells were gone. Then I needed to teleport somewhere else (thankfully) and the creep couldn't follow.
When I switched to lalafell, I was a female lala at first and like on day 1, someone invited me to a very shady sounding linkshell, which was apparently a ERP linkshell. I didn't accept because I don't accept that kind of invites, but asked around later about the name of the LS and found out its true nature.
Also had someone try out for a static I was leading, and the guy was... well, he was insane. He was paranoid that some other guy is following him from game to game and that he wants to make his life living hell. Now, being on the internet a while, I did believe him a bit, as there are so many weird people online, but I soon found out the truth. The paranoid guy was actually the one doing the following and when he thought that I believed him, as I added him on Skype so we can coordinate better for the static, he started bot spamming my Skype. I kid you not, I received 50 messages in like 10 seconds, all saying the same thing. "You should believe me." Blocked him on Skype, blacklisted him in the game and told everyone ingame I knew about what happened. He got kicked from our FC that same day. He tried to send some of the people in the FC ingame mail later, saying he had an episode, but that he's sure he's right about someone following him. Soon after, everyone I knew blocked him.
And the last thing and most recent, I switched servers from Balmung to Lich and like a month in, while running through Ul'dah, as I was passing through the marketplace I heard a strange sound, like there's a lot of people crafting in sync. But... there was only like 2 people I could see that were crafting and soon after they left, but the sound stayed. Decided to investigate and as I pinpointed the location from where the sound was coming from, I realised, there was most likely an army of bot crafters under the street. -
11-06-2017, 10:59 PMLilsephGood heavens, Arty. Now that's some next level of creepiness... I would check under my bed every night after that. D:Quote:

It just showed me that the internet is a home to many many creepy and strange people, and that you shouldn't trust almost anyone on it. Same goes for RL, tbh.

Creepiest thing that ever happened to me was back before SB I had a Miqo whisper me while running around outside our FC house in the Goblet, they whispered me and said my toon looked really cute n what not then asked what settings I used. Didn't have an issue with that at all, told em which face, skin tone etc, the next day I log in and she's in our FC house and looks exactly like my toon, they say "hello twinsie!".
That was probably the creepiest thing that ever happened to me like a god damn shape shifter I tell you, they weren't even part of the FC or anything I didn't log back in for a couple of days. -

I fantasia'd into a female Lalafell who strongly resembled my original male Lalafell counterpart, and someone I'd spent about an hour or so chatting with gave me his real life name, phone #, and told me where he lived.
I fantasia'd back quickly.
*Edit* Entering the Weeping City of Mach, losing connection 30 seconds in, and being unable to log back into FFXIV. The launcher and the website seem broken; I'm lucky to be here posting this edit. The creepy part is it seems to be only affecting me. -
11-07-2017, 12:32 PMJovenI tried to log in earlier today and got a server error followed by a lobby error. I just said "FK IT" and played Fortnite.Quote:
