Making a new account and rolling it on Asura, so I wanted to take the opportunity to see if anyone wanted to provide a Recruit A Friend code that would benefit us both. You can just reply here or DM it to me here on FFXIAH and I'll use it at character select. I'll reply/DM you back when I use it to give you a heads up and a thank you!
Details for Recruit A Friend in FFXI (was mostly unknown to me):

This is how you provide a code:
Gold World Pass
A Gold World Pass is a 10-digit password that allows players to invite their friends to join their adventures in the same World while receiving an added incentive. They may be purchased in-game for 1000 gil and the term of validity is seven days (Earth time).
Once you have given a Gold World Pass to one of your friends, all that remains is for that friend to enter the password on the character creation screen when first creating a FINAL FANTASY XI character.
A Gold World Pass can only be used once. Thus, if a player wishes to invite multiple friends to play FINAL FANTASY XI, a Gold World Pass must be purchased for each friend.
Gold World Passes can be purchased from the same NPC vendors that sell regular World Passes: Port San d'Oria (J-10) Ambleon / Port Bastok (J-7) Kachada / Heavens Tower* Gamimi
*There is no map for the Heavens Tower area, thus the coordinates will be shown as (?-?).
Thanks!
