I'm actively playing FFXIV. I see TurinAlexander every so often online, even passed him in game a couple times. But not sure if that's still him.
The "TINFS" Linkshell is pretty much dead. I still have it though, and a couple users, while not online, still have data, like they may still be active but on at different times than me.
I'm still on Ultros, but never joined the ZAM Free Company. Mostly because that was not a very open FC. I tried joining it at release, and they never invited me. ZAM didn't appear to be the OoT/Asylum people anyway, so no big loss. Now I'm in a huge FC "Terra" that seems to have successfully pulled off being a very casual FC, but still big, and successfully running most end game stuff. They haven't cleared Alexander 4 Savage, but they are doing A1S, 2S, and occasionally 3S, successfully from what I've seen. Also have one of the highest level crafting/gathering people in the FC.
I cancelled my sub to FFXI back in 2007 or 2008. Still see my characters on my account every time I log into Mog Station, but no desire to turn it back on. FFXIV currently is better is pretty much every way (imo), crafting, gathering, dungeons, battle, etc.. And the story is pretty damn good. Can't wait for 3.1 update to continue it.
