Soooo, what do you do to pay your subscription?

Not to be a party pooper or anything. But it seems strange, that people are so willing to reveal information about themselves. Perhaps it is all lies or make believe just like the character, but I think people are sincere.

I am totally NOT against people putting threads like this up, because it make for good data collection and research. But didn't we play this game to get away from work? And didn't we want to play make-believe so we have our characters and have a level anonymity. So it is kind of perplexing that people gladly bring real-life into game.

I know I am new here, and I don't understand everything. Would some on care to explain?

There is a big of a difference between saying what you do for a living, and giving out the address and information that could lead someone with suspiscious intent to know more about you.

If you don't want to 'play' this little game of a thread, you simply don't. No harm done, none taken.

Being on Forums it's already being away from work..

Welcome to the community of Eorzea! ^^

**Forgot to mention: as you been into the Internet, if you are a bit paranoid, pretty sure you know that every traces that you do is collected somewhere. Hope you can still live with it, cause that's been there since a very long time, even before the Internet.

OP - Great thread, nice for a change ^^

I don't think this is nearly as personal as some of the other things I've seen posted.

With photo search engines and people posting pictures of themselves, those are the things that worry/scare me. Almost immediately all your information can be found if you are into social media in the slightest.

All in all, I think this thread is fun. Sometimes it's hard to get to know people behind the charade of a character. What do they do? Do they have kids? How are they outside of the game world?

Nothing at the moment, currently attending school and less than a year away from my associates. Was planning to find a side job but now I am thinking I will wait and just apply once I get my degree. So for now my grandma whom I live with pays for my sub.

I just work part-time at a Delicatessen whilst I finish my College Diploma. Three more weeks and I'm going into Horticulture (and doing everything like a level 50 botanist).

I am an horse trainer IRL.

So jelly right now. That's, like, a childhood dream for me. I know working with horses is hard work (not, like, working on crab boat hard but tiring nonetheless) as a kid, there was a woman who lived in the house with my family had horses (we lived on just shy of an acre of land). To me, getting to help feed and care for the horses was a special treat. Going with her to her mother's (who bred and sold APHA registered horses) to see her mother's horses was akin to Christmas.

I'm a starving artist. Literally.

That's, like, a childhood dream for me.

Haha, thank you. I really am happy with my job. The pay is bad (I struggle to not end the month in the red most of the year), but at least I'm one of the lucky people who managed to do a job they wanted to. Training horses has been my dream pretty much since elementary school (prior to that, my ambition was to train dinosaurs, but then I had to face reality and admit that there'd be not enough space or demand of trained dinosaurs in the world for me to make a stable living with it, so I opted for horses instead.)
