Happy birthday A Realm Reborn!
Since we are all sharing our tales about how we came to the game I was actually 'asked' to buy the game. I was back on WoW playing with my friends on there. T'shina Vashka is my great friend of 8 years, so when A Realm Reborn was announced she began poking around. Most of the guild members, in the company I was apart of on there, were going to be leaving WoW to come to FFXIV. I watched the trailers, and I was a bit iffy on it. The first, and only, Final Fantasy game I played was FF 10 for Playstation 2.Â
T'shina approached me about the game, and 'asked' me to come along and try with everyone. By 'asked' I mean beat me in the face with a virtual newspaper until I caved
 Joking aside though I figured I would give it a try so I waited until their open Beta, and I fell in love with the game from level 1. To this day I love the game more and more with each patch. I've found that the love I have for it has tripled since moving to Balmung.
I am excited to see what they have planned for the future! So here is to many more patches *raises glass* cheers!
