You're all terrible. I was worried this post might be subject to trolls.
Good old Senaki to the rescue. Lol. There should be a player warning when making threads. Something like "PLAYER WARNING: Threads maybe subject to trolls. Please take no offense." This is the reality of ffxiah forums. Half are serious and half are trolls. Does it make it right? Perhaps not but it's all for pure entertainment. Because I'm sure everyone is at a point where all they find entertaining are these threads.
@OP I do not play on that server, but I recommend posting the request to the FFXI Facebook group as you're more likely to receive an invite. People on here are so blasé about returning players that they rather pontificate then help you.
That's a good suggestion. Just remember to take replies on these threads with a grain of salt. Post at your own risk!
