10 years ago I was . . .

Ten years ago I was playing WoW, and had never heard of Final Fantasy. Came here when highest level was 60 or 70 (Don't recall).

ive played since xiv 1.0 closed beta so i was probably doing something in ARR as i started ARR in beta 2 due to being legacy

Doing ARR's main scenario somewhere around level 20ish as I recall. I'm Legacy member and started FFXIV in 1.0, as well as ARR in Alpha and Beta Phase 1, and so begun ARR properly in phase 4, meaning I had a head start when the game finally went fully live. It's amazing how far the game has come in the ten years since. :D

In the military. I had finished basic training and moved out to my first command. I guess I had a WoW account, but I was too busy to play many games.

It was on my first ship, in 2014-ish, that one of the guys introduced me to FFXIV. I'd heard about the 1.X flop, but little else, and he got me to try it. It was 2.3 (the patch before NIN being released), and I got to 50 from a 7 NIN + my WHM party FATE train in Northern Than on a Saturday afternoon, with my friend pointing me to Crystal Tower after I hit 50 with the promise of a new 24 man about to relese.

10 years...been a long time. Back in the civilian world for a couple now and still loving life and FFXIV. o/

I think I was probably playing SWTOR? That was my big MMO at the time I think. Bit of WoW here and then too, though I had not been as big a player as I once was in Azeroth.

I had tried the beta, but at the time my laptop could not really handel it haha. It was not long until I did finally step into Eorzea though...

I was here playing FFXIV and still playing FFXI. Before FFXIV I was playing Aion and FFXI.

Reading rumours about it coming to console so planning on that and... playing gta online with friends.

10 years ago i was knowing my now exgf
playing dota, half life 2 and a bunch of other games on steam like Tera Online (RIP) or Lord of the Rings online.

I really miss the atmosphere of this game. The combat was the best one.

I was here as was in closed Alpha test in 2010 so stuck around. Have been here ever since.

Playing this badly. Didn't grasp rotational gameplay where you use every skill against every enemy, was still in an old-school mindset where you find which situational skills work best against certain enemy types. If somebody told me to use a certain skill, I took that to mean spam only that button for the rest of the encounter.
