Being recognized in game from the Forums

I read them once in a while when I'm bored or I want to see people's opinions on things. Don't see any forumites in the game though.

It never happened to me...but it did to a friend, and let's just say it wasn't a nice thing to see, despite what he said was just a fair critic over the game, as it was essentially pre-HW and it was a concern of how the MSQ was quite a huge lock for new players. The backlash he received was so huge that he got harassed in-game (or so he says), he got perma-banned from the forums (or so he says), and despite all that he kept playing the game since he was a big lover of FFXI. Way to go...

On my behalf, thanks to that experience my friend had I used for an alt's icon for the longest time to avoid being recongnize...but now I don't care anymore: if someone gets me there because of my "blasphemic" posts I'll just blacklist and report them.
My patience is too little at this point.

Months after I quit the game and changed servers, people in DF recognize me from my AST post. It's weird.

I actually don't like it when people recognize me in the game. Except it's someone I recognize as well, like Selli and Tsukino.

Sorry I recognized you...



:P

I've only been recognized in game from the forums once, and that was because of the Eorzea's Next Top Model contest.

That King Candycane guy actually glamours the goggles and winter coat 24/7.

No sign, though.

Close your eyes and pretend the axe is a sign.

To whoever the guy I've met who's from Sargatanas and transfer to Shinryu only to try the Seal Rock, thanks for the chat time. It's my first time chatting with NA people on JP server lol. Sorry I forgot your name, but I remember you're DRG male roe with chocobo mask and joined twin adder GC ;_;

I've had it happen a few times.
Always nice to be recognized.
