Player-created Turks event in FFXIV: Just another reason why I love MMOs

Awesome idea MMOs usually have official “events” that are designed to get players to log in and play after extended periods of disinterest. They tend to involve holiday festivities of some sort, or in the case of some games, they make up their own annual celebrations. But this entirely player created event inFinal Fantasy XIVis something else.

Anyone who’s heard of Lian Li knows they produce some of the most expensive computer cases. Seriously, they’re crazy expensive.
