Meh, too much effort to try to force recreate the magic and honestly don't have all that much time to devote,... I think I'll wait and jump back in again when the storyline is all wrapped up in Nov(?). Til then I'll spend my gaming time in Dark Souls and Dark Souls II

Just happens. There is no effort involved

Enjoy Dark Souls

I stopped playing back in 2010 when the work schedule hit me hard. I've got only good memories in head and heart, miss the game, the music, my linkshell, everything.

Sometimes wish I've had a 6 month break from everything and play FFXIV.

Obligatory Pre-Dynamis lost children:

So I ranomly hear from some gaming site that FFXI is finally dying (aka no more content updates) and then I stumble upon this thread...

Oof the memories just FLOODED back in. That's me in the lolblessed gear doing my best to pretend I have taru MP. I don't know if I've ever said I quit FFXI, but I'm currently on a 3 year "vacation" of sorts. This thread could threaten to break that streak lol.


Good.. no, GREAT times! Kujata for Lyfe.

Serra thank you for the trip through memory lane Your images are great! Any idea if old JE'ers or TBCer's still play 11? or even 14?

[Serra]

I think someone mentioned earlier in here that Rio still plays. I talked to Neri and Meesh, but both of them said they've pretty much moved onto XIV. I never got into XIV, so no idea how many picked it up/still play.

[Kuishen]

I could be confusing recent memory with past memories but I think I've seen Vashs around too. Who knows if it's actually him though. But yes, Rio still plays and is often doing Vagary.

[Rio]

Hi Med and Serra! Yeah I still play, not planning on quitting till they crash the servers for good.

[Lordesequiel]

I joined again. I'm hooked again. Dyna > Buy stones > Upgrade 119 gear with shitty augments > Repeat.

Haha seriously. I still have trouble believing there was a point in my life when getting a frantic cell phone call at 4:30 in the morning to come tank a virtual dragon was a fairly typical event.

Truth. People thought it was so weird that I had online plans. Like no I can't go out with you on Saturday night, I'm up for Chapeau.

[aurik]

Hey I made that! Silly comics were a great way to vent on horrible drops... especially RDM hat.

My GF that I lived with at the time gave me the ultimatum...It's either me of FFXI. I was up for 35 Usu body, I feel like I made the right choice!

I still blame you partly for my ban.

Fuck, this 100 times over. Non-online people had such a hard time understanding that friendships in XI were more than just people we played with.

And also, fuck your going out to drink -- I knew if I skipped a single Dynamis, that'd be the one where the piece I was waiting on would drop.

I lived with my ex-gf for about a year during my FFXI days. She also played, and was in the same LS. I was supposed to pick her up from work one day, but I would have had to leave right before the last window on an 8-day Nid. She was, understandably, quite upset when I asked her to just take a cab home. Looking back at it now, I'd have dumped me too.

I like how the pirate bay crew phrased it. Everything is irl, other stuff is just afk.
Online people are people too, worth no less than anyone else. Going forward into the future, it's something the general population needs to learn, fucking fast.
