At work and bored. Was doing some reading on FFXIV, read almost all of Yoshi's postings and interviews (via the sticky on this Forum). Read most of the topics... laughed, then visited xiv.pads.com to check out my status... then I glanced over my profile, saw my birthday and started to ask myself questions. Then decided to post it here to get some thoughts from other players.

I am not sure if this topic was discussed before. Nothing important to me, again, it's just curiosity and boredom.

Here are some of my questions and thought about this subject.

1. What does name day/birthday do? or what's the purpose other than knowing it's your birthday?

2. How do you know when or check when your birthday is coming up? or How do I read the days? I know it's made up of moon phases; 1st Sun of the Astral Moon, is that like the 1st of a certain month? lol....

My thoughts:

1. Would be nice to know my birthday so I can celebrate... or know others so I can cheer them on.

2. Be nice to get gifts from SE on my characters birthday... or an XP boost or something.

Anyways, just a random thought... and wondering if there was any more info about birthdays or name days... BORED.
