With an explosion and some fallout from WoW BG going down over the past week, a lot of buzz has arisen with respect to our guild in FFXIV.
I want its themes to be redemption, friendship, a love for gaming, and accomplishment. I want it to be massive but with nearly everyone connected by an intimate degree. I want it to have an impressive online presence, one that creates a meaningful and valuable long-term network of acquaintance for the ages. I want the immature to grow, mine and others’ sins forgiven, the lost to return, life to be livable, mistakes to be avoided and joys to be repeated.
The most dangerous thing about bliss is that it creates a struggle for reattaining or exceeding it that can be pursued at any cost. I hope none of those costs destroy anything.
And I just want everyone to be there.

As with a number of people, I’ve went back and examined FFXI histories that are still hanging out on the web. Mostly out of curiosity spurred by FFXIV.
Back in an old recruiting blurb on your site, you mentioned this a little bit after SEA came out: “Throughout this time we redefined ourselves and saw not only that many things we thought were important before were meaningless, but also that things we completely overlooked were among the most important factors of LS success.” (found here: http://www.bertforsythe.com/bgff/joinus.html ).
Just curious what things you guys overlooked that turned out to be “the most important factors of LS success”?

Then? Killing everything as fast and as often as possible.
