Hi! Â I played FFXIV more than two years go and played pretty hardcore before I left the game when life called. Â I've never forgotten the game, and for at least a year now I've had an intense desire to start playing again. I finally downloaded the game again today after mulling over it for a week. Â
I had a level 50 scholar, and I've checked the lodestone and see he's listed. Â He's also still on Balmung, but I can't say if that's accurate. Â I'm hoping the character is still available and hasn't been booted from the server or anything. If this game even does that? Â I'm in the process of trying to recover my account from SE since I've long forgotten the login details. Â So we'll see.
In the meantime I thought to find a community and familiarize myself with the lore again. Â Used to be I could tell you anything and everything about this world, now I can barely remember naming conventions.Â
As for my story, I'm envisioning a somewhat shy Keeper Miqo'te who is kind-hearted with a muted charm. Â However, he's currently feeling bitter and very, very lonely. Â The idea is that for a long time his closest friend was another Seeker male who was the complete opposite of him. Â Physically strong, boisterous, socially adept and always making new friends and acquaintances. Â These two spent all of their time adventuring together, but the Seeker has recently moved on to new things and people. Â
My guy is left feeling somewhat betrayed and unsure of what to do with himself. Â Secretly he harbored very strong romantic feelings toward this Seeker but knew they would never be reciprocated. Â He's distraught but also determined to change. Â He's realized that all of his goals and ambitions were simply to be with his friend and help his friend in any way that he could. Â His friend always chose where to go, what to do and who to see. Â My character wants to change that and find a place to belong.
So yeah!  That's my short story, and I'll be refining/detailing more as I study up.  I'm looking to  get back in there with my new character and a fresh start.  Hoping to eventually find a solid group or even an RP buddy to play with regularly, but for now I'll be playing it by ear.
