I recently was thinking about how long I’ve been playing the game, and I’m curious about you lot.

I haven’t done an official /playtime in a while, but this year being the 10th anniversary of A Realm Reborn, I recall my days and nights early in 2013 playing the beta tests on my PS3. At the time, I was living with a friend of mine, and we had two TVs in the living room going as we got our temporary characters up to level 20 over a weekend only for those characters to be wiped out.

But it was fun running through that early game, learning the systems, getting reminded why leaving WoW was a good idea (not a single person asked about my DPS! …in maybe my whole time in this game, actually.).

So after ten years of playing my favorite little Lala, I look forward to seeing where this story goes from here.

How about you all? What’s your story?

    About a year, most of it on the free trial. I am currently playing through Stormblood. I got distracted a lot on the free trial. I spent weeks just crafting things for fashion, leveling all of the jobs, and making relic weapons.

        There is a lot but I am also super slow at doing story stuff. I get distracted by side content very easily.

        I hear that about almost every MMO. It’s fun, even if my character probably looks basic. I ended up replacing my looks with stuff from the market when I finally ended the free trial, making the distraction somewhat pointless. My retainers and squadron get to wear it at least.

          Make sure you get familiar with the glamour dresser if you haven’t already. Save all those good looks!
