I want to become a fm in about a year but i am far better at blitz and rapid than standard play. Is it possible i could become a fm via blitz 2300?
As far as I'm aware, rapid and blitz don't grant any titles.
You'll need to self-award your FM virtual title and here ratings are quite inflated lol!

says in 0.31: "Titles for over-the-board standard chess". This excludes blitz and bullet.

Not FM, but FIDE is introducing other titels, that you can get in blitz, rapid and online: http://www.fide.com/fide/handbook.html?id=179&view=article
That makes me curious. I've never seen any "FIDE Titles for the Lower Rating Band" present for Lichess users, but are there at all users who own one?
I´ve never seen them, too. Nowhere.
I might be wrong, but as far as I now, the pairing pools on ICC, where you can for example play to achieve these ratings/titels, are set up since a few weeks. I know this, because I updated blitzin recently and have recognized the new buttons in the menu bar. ;-)
So this "setup" is quite new, and I wonder if any "arena title" is granted up to today, too.

Ive been trying to get Lichess master title for years now. it is very hard, the closest I ever got was 2300 for around 10 games in KotH.
