Hello my dearest, esteemed FFXIV colleagues! I am writing this post to talk about the nature behind the game we all play, how things used to be better, and to find companionship among like-minded individuals! You see, back in the glory days of 1.0, we had a robust crafting system that required more than clicking on the material you wished to gather, more nuance than the meager crafting system we have now, and the freedom to sell to whom we wish via our own playable characters in a plethora of zones dedicated solely to commerce among players! The storyline was awe-inspiring, and need I mention that Tanaka was a benevolent God among men? He cared for us so deeply that within FFXIV 1.0, you could not play for too terribly long without incurring fatigue in your character, so that naturally meant time for you to spend with your offline loved ones & friends! Truly, FFXIV 1.0 was a golden age of MMOs, one that we are likely to revisit again in the future once our feeble human societies and gaming culture catches up with the ingenious masterwork of our former game producer, Lord Tanaka.



Praise Tanaka, comrades! Please send Inanna Supervoid@Excalibur a friend request and message if you happen to share the Primal data center with me, and I'll start us up a cross-world linkshell for us to talk more frequently in-game! Feel free to organize a similar CWLS for your data center if you're not on Primal!
