Yeah, after I posted this, I realized I made an error (but it was the middle of the night, so I didn't get up and fix it). I forgot that I overlapped between WoW and FFXI for quite a while before finally quitting.

Looks like I quit around June 16th, 2009 based on my post at the time (http://thistle-chaser.livejournal.com/1024797.html). Ha! I totally forgot about the lottery they had, I hope they introduce that in FFXIV, too!
