A couple of weeks ago, while mindlessly crafting, i noticed a shout from someone saying "I need a friend! Everyone left "
Then the person popped up on my screen while i was running towards the wards, stopped and talked to him. I then made a linkshell so he could communicate with me easily. At this pont... we need to keep as many peeps playing the game as possible, so always lend a helping hand.
Bravo, my friend. I am surprised to run into people who have just started this week or started 2 or 3 weeks ago. I try to help out the best I can and I hope everyone can also do the same. FFXI had the greatest community I have ever experienced in a MMO and I want to make Eorzea my home for many years, just as Vanadiel was once my home. Great post Biggs and thank you for bringing this subject up.
