With our large database of characters and many of them linked to user accounts, FFXIAH.com has become a great way to find/contact players, even if you don't play FFXI anymore. Players will eventually move on from MMO's but friendships gained while playing can last forever.
With that being said, I added fields for screen names in other services such as
AIM,
Yahoo,
MSN,
XboxLive, and
Twitter. These may be displayed on your character's page and on forum posts.
-Edit-I asked for your location such as city, state, or postal code... postal codes may be converted to nearest city. My plans are to make an interactive map using the Google API to find players around you, or to just browse for fun.
Again, these are all optional fields and they are for connecting users.
