Back in 2014 on my first character, I was playing a female hyur. I was just running around Ul'dah, doing some quests, when all of a sudden, someone starts sending me tells about how sexy my character is and how they want me to follow them outside of the city to a nearby secret private place. I was so creeped out. I told them that I'm not interested and continued on my quest. They started following me and kept sending me tells. I asked my friends how to blacklist someone and after they told me how, I blacklisted them. I still saw them following me, but thankfully the tells were gone. Then I needed to teleport somewhere else (thankfully) and the creep couldn't follow.

When I switched to lalafell, I was a female lala at first and like on day 1, someone invited me to a very shady sounding linkshell, which was apparently a ERP linkshell. I didn't accept because I don't accept that kind of invites, but asked around later about the name of the LS and found out its true nature.

Also had someone try out for a static I was leading, and the guy was... well, he was insane. He was paranoid that some other guy is following him from game to game and that he wants to make his life living hell. Now, being on the internet a while, I did believe him a bit, as there are so many weird people online, but I soon found out the truth. The paranoid guy was actually the one doing the following and when he thought that I believed him, as I added him on Skype so we can coordinate better for the static, he started bot spamming my Skype. I kid you not, I received 50 messages in like 10 seconds, all saying the same thing. "You should believe me." Blocked him on Skype, blacklisted him in the game and told everyone ingame I knew about what happened. He got kicked from our FC that same day. He tried to send some of the people in the FC ingame mail later, saying he had an episode, but that he's sure he's right about someone following him. Soon after, everyone I knew blocked him.

And the last thing and most recent, I switched servers from Balmung to Lich and like a month in, while running through Ul'dah, as I was passing through the marketplace I heard a strange sound, like there's a lot of people crafting in sync. But... there was only like 2 people I could see that were crafting and soon after they left, but the sound stayed. Decided to investigate and as I pinpointed the location from where the sound was coming from, I realised, there was most likely an army of bot crafters under the street.

Good heavens, Arty. Now that's some next level of creepiness... I would check under my bed every night after that. D:

It just showed me that the internet is a home to many many creepy and strange people, and that you shouldn't trust almost anyone on it. Same goes for RL, tbh.

Creepiest thing that ever happened to me was back before SB I had a Miqo whisper me while running around outside our FC house in the Goblet, they whispered me and said my toon looked really cute n what not then asked what settings I used. Didn't have an issue with that at all, told em which face, skin tone etc, the next day I log in and she's in our FC house and looks exactly like my toon, they say "hello twinsie!".

That was probably the creepiest thing that ever happened to me like a god damn shape shifter I tell you, they weren't even part of the FC or anything I didn't log back in for a couple of days.

I fantasia'd into a female Lalafell who strongly resembled my original male Lalafell counterpart, and someone I'd spent about an hour or so chatting with gave me his real life name, phone #, and told me where he lived.

I fantasia'd back quickly.

I tried to log in earlier today and got a server error followed by a lobby error. I just said "FK IT" and played Fortnite.
