How Long Have You Played This Game? (self.finalfantasyxiv)

I recently was thinking about how long I've been playing the game, and I'm curious about you lot.

I haven't done an official /playtime in a while, but this year being the 10th anniversary of A Realm Reborn, I recall my days and nights early in 2013 playing the beta tests on my PS3. At the time, I was living with a friend of mine, and we had two TVs in the living room going as we got our temporary characters up to level 20 over a weekend only for those characters to be wiped out.

But it was fun running through that early game, learning the systems, getting reminded why leaving WoW was a good idea (not a single person asked about my DPS! ...in maybe my whole time in this game, actually.).

So after ten years of playing my favorite little Lala, I look forward to seeing where this story goes from here.

How about you all? What's your story?

Started with the open beta of ARR, haven't dared to look at my /playtime lately, but I have let my sub lapse here and there (mostly during end-of-expansion lulls, and for a while during the Endless 5.2). I can't really say that I have one particular main (especially because it seems like every time I do find a job that I want to call my main, the developers take it as a personal offense /hj)
