When did I play? What did I play as? What was my account? Did I like it?

Okay well I was bored enough to do some digging! I played in March of 2015, but probably not for very long. I have five characters, ranging in level from 3 to 10. So... I probably didn't find a class I loved, yeah? Not that I even remember how the class system works...

I might poke more at it later. I'd hate to think I downloaded ~80GB for nothing.

I know for a fact I have played this at some point in my life... because I remember thinking that Jennifer Hale phoned it in for her character in the prologue sequence... but I can remember literally nothing else about this game. When did I play? What did I play as? What was my account? Did I like it? Mysteries for the ages...

Hello! It's gonna be a bit quiet around here because several people are on vacation, but welcome just the same!

What job(s) in the game are your favorite?

Welcome! We're all a little stir crazy because of maintenance today!

Our fearless leader is either gone or about to be gone for about a week, so there might be some delays with some of the administrative stuff re: taking you in as a recruit. I dunno. We can probably work something out, though.

So you're returning to FFXIV -- what job do you play? What kind of content do you enjoy most? Why did you leave in the first place? How do you feel about Lalafells??

I just built a character on Jenova but may on Cactuar to join my friend.

Welcome and we'd be glad to have you, but please note that we are on Leviathan, which is neither Jenova nor Cactuar. Unless your friend is willing to transfer as well, I'd encourage you to look for friendly communities there. 

Best of luck, and if you do end up coming to Leviathan, hello there!

Oh boy oh boy I finally did it

8/8 complete

took me five years

Whaaat?  This is damning new information...  We are beset on all sides by lalagoons.

It's true! And funnily enough, DRG ended up being the last of the (original) job stones I acquired post-launch--and I didn't level it to 50 until I was a lala again for those strange three months at the end of 2014. Just something about tiny people with big sticks, man.

so I switched to DRG because I loved the fact tiny lala jumping around everywhere and tanking the floor!

Hello! Here's a secret I don't think I've told anyone in SoH before (!): I say that I've mained BLM since the ARR beta, and that's true, but before I ever even tried THM--earlier in the beta--I played a lala DRG! I too found the juxtaposition of lala and lance hilarious.

Anyway, welcome!

Hello and welcome!

I'm sorry but you failed the Lalafell question. The only acceptable answer is they are the best thing since sliced bread.

And nearly as nutritious!

I just realized I never actually said welcome in this thread >.> Welcome!

Hello and welcome! I see you've preempted many of our typical follow-up questions, so let's see...

I know you spent most of yesterday leveling fishing--what's your favorite place to fish so far?

What are your goals in FFXIV? ("Chill out and be social" is a valid answer!)

Current favorite non-MMO game?

Hello! Nice chatting with you last night.

Any particular reason you're looking for a new community?

What's your favorite thing about Black Mage?

You seemed very familiar with how to get a new alt up to group content as fast as possible. How many alts have you made??

Hello!

What class(es) did you enjoy playing most? Do you intend to transfer your old character, or start fresh? And most importantly, how do you feel about lalafells?

Welcome~

Welcome!

While we all know that black mage is best mage, what other DPS classes do you enjoy playing?

Who's your favorite NPC in the game?

What would be the socio-political ramifications of a military alliance between the city of Sharlayan and the dragons of Meracydia? SCP wanted super-serious

 sometimes I just get the itch for a change of race

Ah, well, if you left early enough you may not be aware that you can now race-change to your heart's content, with Fantasia. You get one for your 30-day veteran reward (you may or may not have reached that?), you can get one for buying certain editions of Heavensward, and you can buy a further unlimited number for $10 each from the Mogstation.

So maybe not quite to your heart's content if your heart really wants to race-change dozens or hundreds of times, but...

Welcome!

I do plan on rolling another with a focus on magic, and the no-belly button race was on my mind.

Unless you feel strongly about keeping your punching away from your spellcasting, it's not recommended to create a new character to try different classes. As I'm sure you remember, you can do everything on one character, and the game is designed with the assumption that you will!

...They're un-localizing the names? Ok then.

GW2. Until, of course, the game entered a content drought to end all other content droughts.

How 'bout those legendary weapons, eh??

Welcome! Your intro answered most of the questions I was going to ask, sooo... Uhhh...

Do you want us to call you Cocorico? Coco? Rico? Cori? Ocirococ?

Please tell me your name is literally "Boa constrictor? More like broa constrictor, heyooo~"

If not, the part of me inside that's still in high school will be very disappointed.

Aaanyway, welcome!

Why did you decide to start playing FFXIV? What class (or classes) do you have your eye on? Who's your favorite character so far? And how do you feel about those Lalafells?

Just as a note, my two codes have been accounted for

Many of us like it. It's buy-to-play, no sub. There are several passes floating around; I have two available, for instance. There are 3 NA servers you care about; we are on Edan. Edon? Edun...? The one that sounds like "Eden." Channel Balenos E1, but you can change that so it's not as important.
