I might be leaving.

[shdwlancer]

Ok, I said I would explain what's happening, so here it is.
Problem 1) In RPG's past, I would greatly enjoy the game, then at some point it would go from being enjoyable, to being tedious. The constant leveling, farming, then buying new equipment, washing rinsing and repeating, would be tedious, dull, and all around no fun.>.< This process would be alleviated somewhat by the game storyline. However, with FFXI it's only enhanced, because in order to get to the rest of the story, you have to attain certain levels.>.<

Problem 2) My family is having a fight with the school district over the way my little bro's been "Educated" while in middle school. This has resulted in our mom pulling him from school, and home schooling him, so I have less time on the computer. Especially since he discovered Youtube.

but Mostly it's problem one. I'm just plain Bored with it.>.<

Anyway, that's why I haven't really been on recently, and why I'm thinking of canceling the account this month. if I do decide to do that, and I'm pretty sure I will, I'll Log one last time to say goodbye, this Saturday.

For those of you who've helped me with my Quests, and Missions I thank you, for everyone else, I also thank you, more for putting up with, then for anything else. later.

Have you tried the other aspects of FFXI? There are tons of stuff you can do at lower lvls.

[Iruka]

well I found ffxi boring about two years ago and took a break from it. Since the expasion it made me want to come back. Though there are other things happening in your life right now, my suggestion is to take a break from it and return when that passion for ffxi is lit once more.

Take a break, go out and enjoy yourself, spring is afoot and the weather should be warming up. ^^

[shdwlancer]

First, I'm sorry for the double post, the Comp gave me gyp last night.
Second, i know there's tons of stuff I can do at lower lvls, I've done alot of them.>.<
and third That's Exactly what i was thinking Iruka, thanks. I'm glad to know i'm not the only one who's gotten burned out on FFXI.

A word of advice for if you decide to leave for a while, shdw.

DO NOT cancel your account.

DO cancel your Content IDs.


It's an important distinction because if you cancel your account you have only three months before it's gone forever. If you cancel your content IDs there's a chance your characters will still be there no matter how long they're inactive. Also with an active account but no Content IDs, you can still communicate with people via POL's Messages and chat, and still use it as an email.

[Aeona]

No Shdw DONT go!!!

Remember the missions!! For crying out loud, think of the missions man! I beg you! <ok - I'm done>

I know what you mean, I hit that too but I just took a short break.

I've contemplated leaving again recently because I felt I should focus on Jeanne and not so much Aeona

However I'm taking the advice I gave to another close friend, that advice is to just pace myself in game and not neglect Jeanne (the RL Hume) LOL.

You tube will be the death of us all!! I have to compete with that too on my computer.

[Aeona]

Hey while I'm on a role.....

Have you tried Ballista or Brenner yet? Heh heh Brenner is ALOT of fun. What about Besieged?

[shdwlancer]

1st) Good advice Volkai, thanks. I'll probably do that. After all with my luck I'll be ready and rearing to go again in a month.:)lol

2nd) I don't Want to go, Aeona, but I Have to, even if I cancel both Glutteny, and Avariice, it'll Still be to bloody exspensive just to log in, say hi, and feed my Choco, which is what I've been doing this last month, off and on. As for Beseiged it's that whole lvl prob again, my highest is Still Shdw's Warrior at lvl 32, or is it lvl 31?, I don't know, I can't remember.>.< Anyway I'll see you all later, I'm heading out to Sakuracon for a bit today, I'll Log on and say goodbye later.

[shdwlancer]

I haven't tried Ballista, or Brenner, and I don't know, Ballista kinda looks like fun, but well, quite frankly, I just don't have time. Josh comes out at unpredictable intervals, and asks for computer, if he doesn't get it within half an hour he goes back to his room, sits there and makes annoying noises until I want to throttle him.>.< Not very conducive to happy game playing, you know what mean?:)lol Then when he gets on, he stays there for 2 to 3 hours, watching Music videos, old Pringles commercials, and the aforementioned clips of his fav PBS shows.>.< I'm kind of interested in trying EVE Online, but I've got to admit, I don't think it'd be worth it.>.< Oh, and I didn't go Sakuracon, I just went and spent my money at a bunch of different stores. It was fun.:)lol

[Aspen]

Hope things work out even if you do decide to stop. I feel the same way alot, but I have 10 other games i can go to when bored XD. Fun playing with ya shadow!

[Prrsha]

EvE is a horrid game. So much grinding and then when you get somewhere you can lose it all to some prick.

If you are looking for a fun space sim game check out Allegiance (which is free) or the upcoming Jumpgate Evolution.

[volkai]

I have heard good things about Tabula Rasa for scifi MMOs

[shdwlancer]

Hello!

Anyway, to all those who weren't on when I said goodbye, on Saturday, "Goodbye, and thank you for all your help, jokes, and all around oddities!" Your a weird group, but so is my family, so I enjoyed my time with you all. Helkat, and Brynmor i'm sorry I didn't add you two to my friends list, before I left. I feel kind of dumb about that now.; ; I'll send Prr my E-mail so you can get in touch with me if you want, Helkat. Or just PM me, I'll be checking the forum here, at least once a week, just cause I can.
Anyway, Volkai, and Prrsha thank you for the advice/recommendations on the Scifi MMO front, I'd already decided that while, I do like EVE Online, it's just not quite my cup of tea, so your suggestions are welcome. I also Preordered Warhammer Online, which means I can take part in the Beta, so I might give that a try. It's the Fantasy form of Warhammer, not the Scifi one, but it still might be fun.
Anyway, see you all later.
Oh, by the way, I uninstalled everything Except POL, so I can still get messages and such, via Friendslist, so feel free to keep in touch. I'll also see bout getting the Screenshots for Glutteny on the forum sometime, he was a cool little guy.
