Welcome Back!

Ahhh, that fresh forum sme- oh, gods! It's gone! It's all gone! Could it be that we're going to have to start over, ladies and gents? I'll start making a fresh batch of Darksteelfoil Hats and order a box of archive pickaxes, let's do this!

TO A REALM REBORN!

(P.S. Archives Here)

Welcome Back!

Lol, your current headgear on your avatar suits your name Anonymoose XD.
Also Fernehalwes has an awesome looking avatar now! Saw it on someone's signature.

Looking forward to more lore discussion and Ferne's lore bombs

I'm sure you can pull the important posts from the archive if you want :D

My most lurked forum section is back online. Much love, good luck on drawing the most out of this world!

Hello Lore forums and welcome back, another lurker here. Loved reading all the topics on here once my mind was made up to play ARR.

Thank you Shane for the link to the archives.

Hello new Forums!!!~

Whoot I can post in this forum now~

I haunted it so much X_X

Stalker here, too. Moose is my man crush, is there a fan club?

Hello Lore forums!

Revered these forums and the information that sprang forth without a chance to post before. May still be a lurker, but now I'm a lurker with a voice!

Sorta... a textualization of my voice?

hey there

i plan on having many discussions in this subforum

Onwards, gentle loremongers! For great justice!

Hope the Lore forums won't be too negatively impacted by the limitations outlined here. Particularly the 1,000 characters per post limit. That's very little if you want to go into any detail at all about anything...

For comparison's sake: this post here has exactly 493 characters, as counted by Microsoft Word... almost half of the total alloted limit. And I've barely typed anything.

Welcome back!

So are these the new forums? Because I don't mean to be negative... but I really dislike them :( way too many different sections and no way to track whats hot and recent posts. Im sure it'll be worked on though. But yay!

Hello, all. I have been a long time waiting to post here but unable due to no 1.0 (sorry). It is nice to finally add to the discussions. I admire a lot of you guys for what you have done for this game. Thank you!

Glad to have the Lore Forum back, it's by far my favorite to read :)

Hey Mieck! Rillish here. :)

I look forward to spending a lot oftime lurking this sub-forum.

This is probably the best board.

If it's anything like the beta forums, you can edit the post and make it as long as you want.

I am so happy to be here with you all! Moose, let's start a new timeline thread, stat!

I'll be Anxiously awaiting more updates from the Lore Forums as I scour lovingly through every droplet of information like a cactar dieing of thirst.

Mmmm, that new forum taste. Crunchy is what I call it.

Glad I finally get to participate in here, I loved following the old Lore forum even if I wasn't a player of 1.0. Looking forward to grognarding out about lore with you all.

Really not a fan of those limits for this forum in particular, though.

To those who have waded through our realm before, welcome home.

And to those finding our quagmire for the first time, greetings.

We must needs delve through these murky depths together.

Hopefully, this is one of the situations where SE starts with a tight leash and gives slack over time. After all, the beta forums were practically a performance art piece extolling the virtues of a monthly subscription model. If not, I'm going to need one of those Twitter character counters to edit for conciseness, otherwise I'll be posting a lot of "Check back in an hour for, 'Amberscale Rock is Actually a Dragon [Part 5/9]'"

I'm gonna hold back for a few days to give the usual suspects time to decide what they'd like to dig out of Archives. Noloe was big on the timeline and I loved comparing the one he was building to the one I toyed with in my GamerEscape sandboxes. I hope it makes a comeback!

Hey Rillish :) Has Haiiro hooked you up with a shell/fc invite? Stupid house move kept me mostly out of beta 4 and I'll miss all of early release :( Boo hiss..

Bem vindo! (pt_BR)

I already have a few threads I want to make (one on the subject of Garlean racial policy, one slightly fanon-ish community discussion post about names that deliberately "bend" the naming convention in-universe, and if nobody else makes it, a continuation of the Garlean naming convention thread). Just have to wait until Saturday when I can actually get the character levels to do that. :V

Nope, but that's because i only logged in enough to get to the beginner area. I was on Moogle for most of Phase 4.

Ahhh it's good to be back. A little sad all the old threads got archived but overall it's probably better for the forums that way taken as a whole including General Discussion and the other sections.

Do you think we'll need to create new threads to revive old topics that never got a chance to be answered by Ferne yet? I know he'd made a post at one point saying he's seen a lot of the requests and looked into them to varying degrees but hadn't gotten time to actually reply to them yet.

Hello aLL /welcome back Lore Forum

I'm looking forward to reading up on lore-related topics. Maybe one day I'll even be able to add some info of my own. I'll at least try to practicipate in lore discussion from time to time. XD

Oh noes! All those threads that I hadn't gotten around to reading! All those tidbits of lorey goodness gone.... /sad.

Edit: just noticed v1 forums at the bottom :o YAY LOREY GOODNESS!

/smileyface

Hai hai hai :O Loving the new layout!

Hello, Lore forum. Been lurking around localization threads since V1, fascinating stuff. Easily the best sub-community on these boards. Looking forward to reading your wild speculation!

hello to all!!!!!!!! looking to have fun here!

2yrs of lurking the old lodstone forums while waiting for the ps3 release. Glad to see the dark beta forums look are gone.
Welcome back and I'm glad to finally join up.

Alright, let the lurking begin, I look forward to read this forum on a daily basis.

PS. I love the idea of having actual players and not just trolls on the forums.

Aaah~. I love the smell of fresh new lore in the morning! <3 Good to see everyone back!

I definitely want to try to be more active in these forums this time around, because goodness knows I lurk on them too much...the story now is a little more straightforward than it was in 1.0, I think...so maybe I'll actually be able to contribute something!

Woo! Welcome back!
