Interviewees wanted for FFXIV article!

[axemtitanium]

Hi everyone,

To build hype for the upcoming phase 1 beta and ARR launch, I'm currently writing a rather large feature article on the history and experience of playing FFXIV, but I need your help! Sadly, I do not have direct experience with all versions of FFXIV since I only started playing in early 2012, but have come to love the game all the same. I'm looking for people who with various levels of experience with the game, from "I'm an OG who started in 1.0 beta" all the way to "I just applied for ARR beta and haven't really played 1.0 at all". All are welcome; I'm looking for a wide breadth to try to represent as many perspectives on the ARR launch as possible.

Interviews will happen over Skype or IM, at your preference and will last around 15-30 minutes. If you're interested in getting interviewed, add me as a contact on Skype (axemtitanium) or send me a Twitter direct message (@axemtitanium) with the following information:

1) when you started playing FFXIV and when you stopped (if applicable)

2) some rough times when you'd be available for your interview within the next week

IMPORTANT: SKYPE REQUESTS AND DMs WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION WILL BE IGNORED. It might also be helpful to post in this thread so I know to look out for your request/dm. If you want to be interviewed but don't have a way to contact me with the services above, post in the thread and we'll try to work something out.

EDIT: Looks like you can only send direct messages on Twitter to people you follow. Please don't take this to be a shameless way to get followers on Twitter. :\
EDIT EDIT: Looks like I have no idea how Twitter works. If you want to send me a DM on Twitter, you'll have to post your Twitter name so I can follow you, then you can send me the DM. /sweat

Depending on how many requests I get, I may not be able to interview everyone who is interested, but I will try my best to get everyone. I also may not be able to incorporate everyone's interview into the final feature, again depending on the number of interviews. I'll post a link when it's published.


Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Wow! I've gotten a ton of requests already and they keep coming! Clearly FFXIV has the best players and fans. Most of you have been playing for over a year, but if you know someone who only started playing in 2012, please send them my way. Also, if you have friends who haven't touched the game yet but you've convinced them to sign up for beta, please also let me know!
