Vana'diel year 1k = June 30 0:24 CDT
Shortly after midnight CDT on June 30 Vana'diel will hit the year 1000. It starts on 12:24 AM CDT. What are your special plans to celebrate this milestone?

I think we should all organize a massive in game celebration. How about fireworks spam in Sarutabaruta on Starfall Hillock?

I laughed...so freaking hard...


The person who says it resets after 600 was obviously lying, the game was well into the 800s at least when it started. I beleive when I started it was in the 930s..

If the game were set in the 600s, we'd be *before* the shadow war...

Re: Vana'diel year 1k = June 30 0:24 CDT
I foresee one of two scenarios:



1.) Due to the failure of SE to anticipate Y1K, all software was written using only the last two digits of the year. Thus, when the year dings 1000, all player gil will be reset to zero, inevitably resulting in an AH crash.



Jeuno will be barren, and overrun with rabid tigers watering at the mouth in search of unsuspecting taru. Players will resort to scouring the post-apocalyptic wastelands of Vanadiel for food and shelter.



Militias headed by warlords will spring up in the outer reaches of the world in the absence of government. These warlords will control all access to provisions and shelter as they battle to the death with eachother over territory.



In time, the dominant warlord will control all of Vanadiel, and reign with an iron fist.



Or.. 2.)

We’ll have to deal with a few drunk and unruly moogles



Edited for spelling and format

Have you hugged your Taru today =)
