But after reading since post I wanted to apologise for being (hopefully only a bit?) harsh in some of my replies to some of your threads/posts. I didnt really try to put myself in the shoes of someone who might really enjoy this beautiful game but not so much the interaction with other people in it - specially because I used to be the same (doing dungeons to get through ARR MSQ back then would take me hours to muster the courage to queue up for them and I almost never spoke in FC-chat, being ashamed of my - back then - poor english skills and quite certain that no one would really like to chat with me anyways). Since that changed quite a bit over the years, I've adapted a playstyle thats more suited for MMOs - not minding doing stuff in DF, aswell as jumping into PFs, both with a bit of "aroogant confidence" in the form of the thought "Well, I might not be playing stellar, but theres a pretty good chance I'm still going to do better than half of those people, so lets go for it...".
But along with developing that I've seem to have forgotten how I started out here - and even the ability to consider that other people never developed such an attitude or found enjoyment in playing with others and that thats fine, too. Maybe not ideal in an MMO, but still fine.

So... I wanted to apologise for not seeing and/or understanding that - specially within my replies.

I have to say I was a bit disappointed when I checked - against my better knowledge - to see if I wasnt confusing Zalera and Zodiark and could invite you to play together sometimes. Thought it might sound like a hollow phrase considering the difference in datacenters, but should you ever feel like giving playing on european servers a try... poke me or my FC in Odin, if you feel like it!

...writing this felt awkward enough to count as almost embarrassing, I think?
