I haven't been on FF11 in nearly a year, but I intend to start fresh in September with FF14. Not sure how many people still remember me out there, or even have fond memories of :P.. but for those I could call friend and plan to play 14, I've created a webpage to unite old friends of mine and others to join the new game on the same server, playing some new with old friends. If your interested, and have some connection to me or the people I know, I'd encourage you to visit http://friendsofgilgamesh.guildlaunch.com which we will be using to talk FF14, and gather together pre launch.
Their's an application to fill out, which is really just to help identify who ya are, but aside from that, most people would be welcome.
Was a pleasure playing 11 back in the day, but I'm excited to move forward with 14. Hope you guys are having fun whichever your playing :P.
