Finding your friends in FFXI

valefar

Ran across an interesting site and wanted to share it.  When I started playing FFXI one issue I had was telling everyone from (some other MMORPG) who I was playing and on which server.

The site I found is called Player Haven.  It appears to be a character registry that allows people to find other characters in other games.  A friend of mine looked up my character that I had registered there from (that other MMORPG) and saw who I was playing in FFXI.

They had other stuff too.  I noticed you could post comments under characters to maybe warn others that this character had been ebayed or something.  That might come in very handy, as I've been toying with adding some comments about some people I've "encountered"...

Anyway. There's a public calendar system to post server events, and there's a silly little web game there that reminds me of a game from the early BBS systems.

Something to note for FFXI.. PH doesn't have a dedicated area for this game yet. We need to get them to add one!  I had an email convo with the web master about it, he (she?) said that if enough people registered characters under FFXI they would add a dedicated subdomain, which would then open up a calendar and whatnot for this great game too.  As of now, FFXI characters fit into their "other games" category and doesn't have a dedicated subdomain.

Still, worth checking out, at least.   http://www.playerhaven.net
