Today I Had The Best Experience I've Had In Years In An Mmo

Okay, so be me, a guy with a Trial Account. I'm currently taking my time and doing the MSQ on my pace. In some places I've encountered some mobs that overlevel the current level of that zones. So I was going on my way to do one of my MSQ and I find a big mob in the area. I click on him to see which level is and its a level 50 mob. I'm level 22 Archer, so let's try to don't go near him. I had a keybind to the F key to "Confirm" when talking to NPC's and make the talks faster so in an accident I press that key while I had that mob targetted. I shot at him and he runs after me to kill me in one hit. This was the first time I died in this game and had no idea what happens if I die. So, okay, I had to come back to New Gridania and then go back to that place which was far... Things didn't seem well.

One player that was passing around while that mob killed me stopped by and he told me: "hey, are you okay?". He was a Pugilist and tried to help me and find a way to revive me, but he didn't had any healer class to do so.

And then, magic happened.

I was there, dead, wondering how should I come back and this player starts talking to me, about which are my current class I'm leveling, and if I'm closed in my house due to COVID-19. And we started talking, and talking, and talking. We talked about anime, about videogames, about animals, about the situation with the COVID-19, about gobernments, about how this MMO brought us the opportunity to met and I was really joyful while talking with him.

This was the first time in years that I've had the opportunity to met another player which I had nothing in common in that context while playing an MMO.

We continued talking, me there dead and he sitting at my side. Talking about our lives, what we study (and surprisingly we are studying the same lol), what we like and how we want to play this game till the end and go to experience that together. This conversation lasted more than an hour. Another player joined us suddenly and asked one of their guildmates to come and resurrect me, and then we have taken a photo together:

We shared Discords since we cannot add together as are both Free Trial players but as soon as we reach level 35 both concluded that we'll buy the game.

I will never forget this experience. Thanks to the SE team that devoted to create this amazing game. I'll definitely stick with FF XIV for a long time and I hope it to be one of my favourite games and my favourite MMO since WoW.
