@@jag764 Well said. I think another reason why FFXIV fans can be more supportive is because a lot of FFXIV fans also play other games, and are therefore more ok with people playing things other than FF all the time. Unlike some Wow players who just play Wow and *maybe* LoL. I know that's not the case for everyone obviously, but I think that helps show why some Wow fans have such an issue with people playing other things. Its the only game they have.

[@Mann42]

Asmongold's adventures in Eorzea were a good time, and I'm glad he introduced me to the game. 14 is the first MMO I was able to actually get into, found a great community, became an avid raider, and I now have 3000+ hours in the game. His content literally introduced me to one of my top 10 games of all time. I've accepted he'll likely never play the game again, and even if he did the moment has passed and it wouldn't be the same at all - but man it was a good time, and I'm glad he gave that shitty weeb game a chance.

Hope asmon finds the time to come back and play the game sometime. It doesn't even have to be some ceremonious big announcement return to eorzea, he should just play the game in 3-4 hour segments on zackrawr every now and then until he gets to a point in the story where he gets hooked again (because early stormblood is a SLOG, even I quit partially through, exactly where he stopped). Pint streams 3 hours every week or two of MSQ and people love it. No need for some grand commitment, it's a video game.

[@Duran8998]

If Asmon ever goes back to FF14 he'll be like "Alright guys, i'm ready to do this i'm gettin' back into Final Fantasy 14 and i'm gonna pick up right where I left off!!" Which would be inside the Gold Saucer where he'd spend a week before quitting again.
