Returning after a LONG hiatus

[Bearhardt]

Hello, Titanites! I started playing FFXI casually many, many years ago. Over time I lost the time and will to play and ended up casting my line in many other ponds...

Recently, after having moved far away from one of my best friends, I decided me and this friend really needed to get together online and play what we loved to play together: MMOs.

It became trial and error while we found something that felt really fun together. We then remembered that we had a ton of fun back in the day just grouping and grinding on FFXI. So he found his old account and reactivated it. I, however, did not... So I downloaded the software and a trial key from FilePlanet to make sure the game wasn't horribly destroyed first.

Now that I'm back in the saddle I'm trying out a Mithra (I never did play one very long) and leveling her as a Monk in Bastok (the city I originally played in, it's a personal favorite).

So I'm on the hunt for a friendly LS that is casual, has members that are on at strange hours (Im more oft to play very late PST and/or on weekends), and willing to educate new players. I may have subscribed long before the US PS2 release, but it's been so long I'm practically a newbie all over again.

If you wanna touch base with me in game my Mithra's name is Balista and you can also just leave a comment on this thread!

Happy Hunting!

Hey! You should join our Linkshell ^^

We're called InfiniteBlue and we're a social LS based on everything that makes the word "fun" come to life xD

Our forums are up and running here :: Index

We just opened them up, and to be truthful the linkshell members don't know of the forum yet since we haven't broke it out to them (told them about it).
