What keeps you from quitting?

[SpecialDude]

Recently, I maxed merits on my bard, got my osode and all other equipment I needed, and now I feel really depressed, like there's nothing more for me to accomplish. So I extend my delimma/question/whatever, to BG. (lol)

Do you ever get depressed with the game like this? If you do, what do you do? And if you don't, what stops you from getting in this depression slump?

[Sixtail]

I keep having fun. How you do this is up to you, but taking breaks from stuff you've done for long periods helps.

[Beckwin]

You merited for a week and killed Kirin and think thats all there is to do in this game?

[Marsala]

Do Sea, Limbus, Dynamis. Level another job. Help lower lvl friends so they acn get more cool equipment. Theres always somethign to do in this game ^^

[SpecialDude]

No, I just don't find anything else fun.

Sea sucks ass, aside from Limbus, which is mildly entertaining.

LS doesn't do Wyrms anymore. (which was fun, I admit)

Assaults are boring and repetitive to me.

Sky sucks as well.

No point in meriting anymore, I have no desire to level any other jobs to 75.

I have fun doing pretty much all of those things. Sounds like you should quit.

All the stuff you hate I find fun. If you find no fun in anything the game offers, then you need to find a new game. What keeps us from quitting is we still have fun, where you do not.

[Carbon]

Don't know for sure what keeps me from quitting. I play less now, since I'm back in school (especially this semester), but because of the breaks I take and not 24/7 play any more, it still stays interesting.

[Thitaubian]

The problem is your 'everything else sucks' attitude.
Did sky suck before you got Osode?

You need new goals.
Max a skill you normally don't use. Level a new useless subjob like drk or rdm. Get some gear that is probably useless 90% of the time.
Lern to Solo an Avatar as brd. It's a game. It's meant to waste time in essence. How you do that doesn't matter as long as you feel like your progressing towards a goal. All you have to do is set a goal.

Actually this sounds about right, OP might want to check your monitor settings, maybe you arent getting the .05 second flashes of 'KEEP PLAYING' the screen should display every 2-3 minutes.

...oh, and my friends. They have something to do with it, I think!

Yup, your done... take a break till next expansion.

[Matricide]

mainly my closer friends are why i play. if 1 or 2 of them left i would probably not play anymore.. otherwise in game i keep giving myself goals to keep me busy (items wise, all hq stuff, trying to fully pimp out my 2 jobs, etc).. that keeps me pretty busy on a daily basis even though its not really that fun i guess.

[Ace-o-fire]

freinds, we all play online games together, about 5 of us. We recently came back to ffxi when one of our freinds who got banned decided he got bored with other games and wanted to come back to play ffxi.

so freinds are really my main reasoning behind playing. Hell even if the went to wow i would probably go with. They are a nice group of people

[Rosencrantz]

Friends and Absolute Virtue.

[SpecialDude]

Yes, I think you're all right

I think the reason I have no fun is I can do all the stuff, I just don't have close friends to do it with on the server I'm on.

Either quitting or going back to Siren.

Edit: NVM I quit.
