I’m interested in what kind of people hang around in here since the community is so small and so new.
How do you spend your time in game? Are you a raidlogger with a static, or tend to chat in your FC? Grinding mounts, getting gil, buying a house? Any Eureka/Bozja enjoyers?
When did you start playing? What’s your favorite fight on any difficulty, or other content?
How many hours and characters do you have, are you on the free trial, leveling or looking for help and advice in game, or do you have your mentor crown already?
What region do you play on? What do you think of addons?
What (reddit or other) community did you come from / still use?
Right now I’m in soft-break until probably 6.45, so I’m mostly just doing dailies and weeklies and occasional crafting. Normally I’m playing new content or doing completionist-ish stuff. I don’t raid though, not a big appeal for me – but that’s about the only section of content in the game I think I haven’t really done much with. Right now I’ve been running the subs at my FC to keep occupied.
I started playing around 5.4, and caught up with MSQ between 5.45 and 5.5. It’s hard for me to pick favorites in terms of content… I finished my card mount grind a couple months back, which gave me a good excuse to try just about everything at least a little bit. FFXIV claims I have about 195 days of playtime. I’m definitely not a sprout anymore though I look back at those first few months very fondly.
I play on Brynhildr; I don’t use add-ons but I don’t judge those that do. I appreciate that add-ons are pushing SE to add useful features/QoL adjustments for everyone.
My main source of info is r/ffxiv and a variety of Discord servers, though I’m hoping this community can grow bigger over time so I can fully disconnect from Reddit eventually.
