FFXI touched me... innapropriately

[Shin Volcano]

I must admit, so many bad expriances with people in this game, turned me VERY bitter when it comes to trusting people,My character is Hume F and i used to ONLY get help because they thought i was a female and this happend 4 times,

When they all found out i wasnt a girl (because they asked me personal shit like am i blond etc) they suddently "stoped" helping/caring and became "busy" everytime i asked for help, this had a seriously bad effrect i won't ever fucking pretend to be a chick for any reason but it's pretty fucked up that you only get help just cause the thought of a pussy is there,

Now all i do is assume no one cares/wants to help/will automaticly backstab me for there own gain, alot of people are like this...but when i do encounter ones that aren't that defense wall is still there...i'm a heavy RPGER but working with community of people that are selfish does NOT have a good effect on yourself..mainly a quick temper and saying alot of shit you don't really mean, it's even been displayed on this forums, i honeslty don't mean most of it, but sometimes i can't help it. just so many ass holes..

In other news, the sky is blue.

I sincerely hope you realise that this phenomenon isn't limited to online games.

well you would think people would know better to judge you by a pixilated figure, but of course..wrong.

and of course i know it isn't limited to online games.

i do not have anything as bad as a few of you(or as good with some people)

But i know i play way to much... been cutting back a lot, going out more and shit even with running a LS now. Its what i got co leaders for anyways right?

worst shit to ever happen was when i found the time to play none stop. my buds would say "hay lets go to this bar" id go but outside stuff like that i became a shut in. and we now have a apartment(and we have our own parties now so i play even more now lol, this is the reason i have been cutting back)

also did not help that my job lets me work from home now and only calls me in when someone fucks up big time.

guess not as bad as others but sorta pissed at some^^. also my GF gets mad sometimes. I wont leave people mid event unless it wont screw them up to much. so low man dynam mean i will be on for the good part of the 4hrs.

one good thing that has come out of the game though, is that i see things in a new light it did change me. better? worse? can not say but my GPA took a hit but its now back to a solid 3.15 (down from 3.5 and up from the bad bad 2.6)

Arthars, you have a beautiful family .

My story:
Last night at the grocery store, I pointed to some bulbs of garlic, embarrassed. I was embarrassed because I confessed to my husband that a moment before, I seriously got excited seeing it and actually almost walked over to grab it but stopped myself in time. I stopped myself because it occurred to me that I "needed" some, not for real life food, but for my Roast Mutton in-game and was previously relieved that I did not have to mule to Windurst for the regional vendor.

I met a girl on my server after she applied to my LS. We talked on game for hours every day before she decided to move to California and go to college with me. We dated for a year. When we broke up, she quit the game and moved back home.

[Ratatapa]

Let's see...
Leading an LS killed my social life. I'm still trying to recover. I've canceled plans so many times because I had to lead X event.

Ended up sleeping with some dude from FFXI that I went to a concert with. WORST IDEA OF ALL TIME.

Also, being an LS leader turned me into a horrible, bitter person. I was so nice and happy before FFXI! Now I'm some horrible monster who yells at people for being human garbage.

so fucking true for the bold part

i have become i gigantic asshole lol

In the aftermath I was provided with 60 Vicodine, of which I used only 6,

God bless left over "candy"

I had a pinched nerve in my neck, and got a 100pill script with one 100pill refill... I probably used ~60 over the course of my actual neck injury, but you bet your ass I got that refill! LOL

So far the game has touched me for several thousand dollars because it has prompted us to remodel two rooms to create a new master bedroom and a rec room/library/office.

The most interesting thing is that it actually has helped our marriage (25 years in 2010), not that that it was in any sort of trouble to begin with. Wife and I are on Garuda and we do a lot of things together, have a good-natured social LS where we talk, share experiences and help other members. It gives us something to talk about and a common interest, and shared experiences.

[Skjie]

As far as wife, yea, well, we did meet initially online, but not through this game. In fact, she hates this game with a passion -go figure!

I use to wake up for school thinking

"Shit, I wonder what job everyone else is at school.. Oh well my gear is probably better than their's anyways."

I imagine everyone in my school wearing some armor on a certain job or something iono.
shit. was creepy.

[Sol-Blackguy]

I tried to use Mighty Strikes in a bar fight once... does that count?

Seriously though, I was on the verge of burning out when only JP players invited me. Most of the parties were ~1am-6am and I had to go to work at 9am. Eventually I passed out on my day off and wound up sleeping for at least 20 hours.

[Crizto]

I'm sure my ability to use sarcasm as well as my wit as gotten better due to all the British friends I've had in this game.

[Zimbabwe Justice]

Has anyone else had a ton of dreams about this game? I remember one when I was in Tahrongi Canyon, killing Yagudo by the trees. It had the menu and chat log and everything.

[Fridell]

I've had FFXI dreams, orz.

As soon as I saw your name in here, I knew it would be good.

When talking to someone and going to another room, I've caught myself thinking (and sadly, sometimes saying out loud) "Zone.", because I'd be unable to hear what they are saying.

Fun read. Has noone developed psychological disorders? Depression? Acute Anxiety? Anything?

Usually, your common interest is your marriage, but you needed something else?! SHAME ON YOU, SIR!!
