Taking a BreakFollow

Hit the wall. It was a strong wall. Didn't budge. Hurt like hell to hit.

Translated, that means I've gotten to burn-out stage with FFXI. I haven't played since Saturday Night, and only then for a couple of hours. Before Saturday, it had been a couple of days since I had last played.

And I'm not really missing it.

Was getting to the point where it wasn't really fun anymore, was almost a chore to sign on. That's not what games are supposed to be.

Not a fault of the game or the way it's designed.

Maybe I just need a break, purge the ol' mind, and come back refreshed and ready to conqeour Vana'Diel again.

I was getting annoyed at the little things that never bothered me before.. spam shouting, annoying players, idiots..

I'm extremely thankful to all those that stood by Lady and myself and fought to get the Server Forums.

A hearty HUZZAH to you all.

I'll be popping in and out of the forums.

Hopefully this won't last long and I'll be back ready to play soon.

If not, maybe see some of you during the Wish beta.

Be back soon, I hope.

I HOPE NOONE SAYS THAT

I did? I thought the the nOOb in this old thread did

>_< gah link is broken

Seoman..Sorry to hear that you are so worn. I appreciate all you and Lady did to get the server forums going. Take care, and drop in. We will be waiting for your return.

It's the same for me. Other games, like Call of Duty, are more appealing right now. Especially when facing the prospect of having to get...the hellish fourty equipment for MNK...gah...oh well.

I hit that wall. That's when I started on thief. Very fun. But then my static kept pulling at me to level WHM. Back to WHM. I hit another wall and I'm still working my way over it. I need money for WHM. Getting money is boring so I want to play other jobs. I need money to play other jobs. If I spend money on other jobs I get further away from the things I want for WHM. It's just a never ending cycle of negativity. The HNM runs have been keeping my Spirits alive, but all in all its getting kinda boring. But whatever, we're planning on doing all four gods this weekend so we'll see how things go.

Seoman....

I've been there several times.

Take a break, a few weeks, a month, maybe.

Burnout is a *****, but it happens.

You'll be back, and having fun again, before you know it.

/salute

I'm still there, but I've found it's just as easy to just play infrequently as it is to go cold-turkey for a week or a month or whatever.

I only play now when I actually feel like it, and it makes a world of difference. I do log in very often and just chat on the LS (running the Windower makes it so I can do this and still ***** around online), or stand around and fish or something, but I only group for XP about once or twice a week - if that.
