I’d like to read about experiences you’ve had with other players that had an impact on you, whether good or bad (but hopefully good!).

So write down any stories about people you met in game that ultimately meant a lot to you.

Ill start:

I am an eso refugee, although I loved the storyline and strolling around, the combat often made me want to scratch my eyes out. Anyways that’s not what matters.

I started finally paying a sub to ffxiv after having a bunch of free trial accounts (sorry Yoshi :3) and lo and behold, my old eso friends (who quit way before I did) were hanging out around Gridania to my absolute bliss. They used the same character names even here.

One particular friend stuck with me a lot, we winded up getting married for the dresses, he bought a house since I was just new at the game and had no idea how to make gil, we were in the same FC, after mentoring an old eso guild somewhat together (it was his guild, I was helping people with whatever they needed) and things couldn’t have been better for a while.

Unfortunately the friendship had to end because more often than not, people playing and chatting together until six in the morning winds up in feelings being developed and when they are one-sided, jealousy shows its ugly mug.

Fast forward, I met a tiny lala that recruited me for their FCs, the tiny lala was a huge man with huge beard in real life which I often found very funny.
The fc leader was this amazing woman who would make a joke out of everything, another one was an older lady that just loved crafting and gathering, but we tried to get her in dungeons multiple times still.

We all kind of sucked, which was ok because we would rinse repeat every dungeon and most of the fun was being on discord together talking a lot of crap especially on our wine nights.

Ultimately I changed servers and not long after, everyone kind of stopped playing, it’s been years since I saw them online anymore but I still never forgot any of them.

Other encounter I still laugh at to this day is when I joined an extreme trial for the first time, told them I have never done it and I died so much to the point they started calling me “emotional support bunny” because it was the only thing I could provide at the time haha!

Now your turn!
