Long lost friends...

This YouTube video gets me in the feels every time:

So here I am feeling nostalgic and missing the best friend I ever made in FFXI. His name was Teuhond. We started a linkshell together and started gathering new friends. Our linkshell had a tradition of shouting “Hail (name of player)!” when each new member joined. As an initiation ritual, we would make new members do the noob quest to unlock the ability to exit your mog house into the zone of your choice. After months of having to walk from zone to zone, they were always super grateful for that quality of life tip.

Similar to the video, we drifted apart and Teuhond wanted to experience more end game content. We bumped into each other and he always invited me to tag along. Sometimes I did, but usually I was too far behind. After we both stopped playing we kept in touch via email and one day he called me up and we chatted. Sadly that was the only call we made and we have never been in touch since.

Teuhond, if you’re out there playing FFXIV, I hope you read this and I hope we can play together again. I wish we could tell each other our separate stories and wax nostalgic about those innocent early days in FFXI. One can dream and reminisce, but maybe, just maybe, Teuhond and I can find ourselves once again playing under the same banner...

Find an old friend template:

Other relevant info (guild name, server name, etc.): Teuhond introduced the game to a friend who named his character Stinky.

Best of luck everyone!
