This blog is an account of adventures in Final Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft, and Final Fantasy XIV.
It was started in March 2008 by Jukor of the FFXI server Phoenix, who later went on to play WoW for a period of time before going back to FFXI for a bit. In early 2012, she began to play FFXIV earning Legacy status before burning out around Gladiator 36, upon which time she went back to FFXI. Later in that summer she gave Guild Wars 2 a try but burned out quickly due to the faster pace her guildmates leveled at, so back to FFXI it was for the Nth time.
Then soon after 2013 ticked over, she found herself in the closed beta for A Realm Reborn. The limited availability of the first and second phase left a huge void that she filled with TERA, but the combat system in it was too action-based for someone used to slower games, so once again, she went back to FFXI.
By the time ARR Beta Phase 3 came around, she had decided that would be the game for her, so her FFXI account got cancelled. She started ARR service on Sargatanas and was in a now-defunct Free Company called “Calm” with friends of hers from FFXI. However, the game became stale and she and another friend left for different games. The story does not stop here, though…

A bit of a stereotypical geek as it were. But, that is the badge I wear proudly.
