See you in-game! :)Vice Black

Thanks for the links :). I read through a majority of them last night. I'll have to take some time with that NeoGAF thread though. That's a lot of information to digest..now to think of a name…

excited for tomorrow :)!

Am I late? I think I'm late. But alas, a wizard is never early or late. He arrives precisely when he needs to.

Anyway.

Me:
Hello! Mecer here (Mia Aude in game, female c@s ftw). I'm a close friend to Vice, who showed me the ropes and invited some dudes to play with him, so here I am. I'm a 23 year-old Web Developer (feel free to contact me at my personal website if you ever need one *wink wink*).

MMOs:
I have absolutely no background on FFXI, but I play MMOs since 2005, with RO, TERA and now FFXIV. I play MMOs mostly focused on its multiplayer aspect. And that means PvP, GvG, etc. I believe in skill > equipment, but I try getting the best available either way.

Hello everyone!

About me:
I go by Pizn or my real name Josh. I am a 30-year-old professional network engineer and I work live in New Jersey. I'm married and have a son.

I've played many MMO's including but not limited to: AC2, WoW, SWG, STO, Rift, WHO, and UO. I never played FFXIV 1.0 as I never heard of it. My friend made me check out the Beta of this game and now I'm completely hooked.

Thanks and I look forward to meeting you all and seeing you in game!
