hehe i know what you're going through ama.

Its like playing the game because it is a daily routine, because you miss the good old days... then when gradually you start asking yourself "what is the point when i log on everyday? what is there that i'm trying to do in vanadiel? is this even fun anymore" you start feeling all the good old peeps are not there anymore :P loggin on sitting in your mog house feeling a bit lost, but then you sometimes think if i dont' play FF what would i do in this freetime i have?!

Solution is take a good break :), let your mind drift fromm the routine, don't think about the game or anything, don't give this break a limit like "i'll just take a break for 2 weeks and see if i want to come back" because you're bound to come back even tho you still gonna feel bored, because your brain has planned its return :P

just go do othersutff that you might've wanted to do and not consider playing FFXI, like go out and enjoy the sunshine (if there's sunshine over there, in UK it feels like they skipped summer and went straight to autumn >_< haven't had a day with anythign higher than 22 degrees celsius) if ever your brain feels like "i want to play FFXI, because i want to do this this or this and have a good time" then it means you still want to play the game :P otherwise its just an addiction that maybe its time to get rid off :P

that's how i quit :) didn't think about it and didn't want to play it for pleasure for a month and i know i don't want to play anymore ^O^

Ama it's normal that when a girl grow up she gets some kind of Emotion once per month.

Don't sweat it, it's normallllllllllllllll.


um














BYE!

I think when you quitted the first time, you made the right decision. Since I'm an "old friend". Your "old friends" "love" you "enough" but[i] we are not [i]around.

The game is not fun anymore.

I've said this twice, I'm not saying it again. You've already made your mark in FFXI/cerberus. The few things you still want to achieve, IMO you can do without. If there is other venues out there try them and leave the game. If there isn't, then I guess you can keep trying. Sounds very unbecoming of me to say these things, but it's the truth. Mr.Chan, you are hanging on to FFXI because of memories.

:(

I still have something I want to do, but I certainly do not log on and active as much as in the past. In about a few months, I have some important RL decisions to make, so may be it is time soon to quit. There are however a few more things I wish to see done. My refusal to work with certain people and groups have really made me a generation behind in game play. So I have never truly see everything in the game, but I agree it does not really matter.

I guess we will see :3 I may just choose to log in during weekends to just do the things I wanted to do. As Spira said, I need to get rid of this addiction :P And just play as leisure rather than addiction or some usual routine.

I am the type of person who do not mind the "old stuff," or do the same thing for long time. Heck, when I was in Boston, I used to go to the same cheap neighbor Chinese place for like 300 times a year-_- for those 4-5 bucks meal. Two years ago I visited Boston, after I left for 4 years, the owner of the store still recognized me :P I used the same barber for 4-5 years in DC too :P I get pleased easily ... at least usually. I am not someone will just go out will try something new completely for the heck of it. I am really loyal to the way I live.



I really do not want to get to that part of my story, and I certainly do not want start some unindented drama if I talk about that because I may say something that I do not intend. There is a long complicated story what my old LS had become. I still get /waves from members of my long time former LS, but may be only a few really care if I am there or not (the ones do send me IM and cell phone messages in regular occasions).

I really missed people like Nebz, Maxemus, and the Cecil brothers. Sometimes it feels quite differently when there are people do treat you as a real life buddy, but not some virtual gang or office mates just grin for item every time to log on :P

Some people call me as being very conservative of being like that (doing the same thing over and over again, resistant to changes)... but if you really take a political survey of me, I will probably scored close to Al Gore and Howard Dean than two Bushs. (Laugh)

I am mostly resistant to change because "Why mess with success when is doing good enough?" (I think Ichiro said something along that when he got an interview why he only does slap hits and line drives like that when he can hit for home runs :P)

With major career decisions pending, changes are probably need. I certainly will at least to try to change if it is necessary.

The current forum drama is like a perfect example about how they update 2 handed weapons is one way I see why I am little displeased with the population of the game.

Let set aside whether the update is over done (I do think is over done in some manner) or whatever... But it underpins one thing -- E-*****. A lot of people are angry because "OMFG I am not the leet, most babied, most prestige in the game!"

In a perfect role playing game, people should be settled for their role play and not be involved in discrimination. Even a lot is because of issues inside the game mechanics, a lot is also within the mind of the players.
