Here’s the official announcement. The official website for the Final Fantasy XI ReFriender service also shut down and now displays a similar message.

Final Fantasy XI ReFriender appeared for Twitter users back in 2018. People would log in with their account, then explain details about your character’s name, their portrait, and the Linkshell and World you are on. You could also say how long you’d been playing. You could then go through different profiles and say whether you did or didn’t know them. If you said you did, than the other person would be notified and shown your details. You could then reconnect.

Final Fantasy XI is available for the PC. The MMORPG ended up getting two updates in May 2023.
