hi^^ anyone else have really red eyes due to FFXI? i do ; ; which really sucks because a lot of ppl in school keep calling me a pot head ; ; which im tottaly NOT! anyway, my eyes hurt a lot more now, which has made me reliaze that maybe FFXI really isnt worth it anymore. Im addictied to this game, Ill admit it. I have played 31 days, which means that 31*24 (busts out calculator)=774+ hours. thats a whole MONTH of my life. Goddanm this game. I have had this game since december, not even a whole year yet, yet I have played for a MONTH. I have played this game longer that any other game combined. 774hours, damn, I hate this game, i love it, yet I dont want to play anymore. Its too much. 774 hours. thats equal to about 15-20 RPGs. I have spent so much time lvling, farming, building up a character that doesnt exist, and never will. For what? NOTHING. nothing at all. If i ever get to lvl 75, so what? how will my life change? if I get the pimpy rdm hat, will i sundenly change as a person? is this game really worth investing soo much time of your life? A WHOLE month, gone. Im not going to quit, i cant. Im addictied now. but now I know that this game, not matter how cool it is, is not worth so much time. I may quit soon, which maybe be a good thing.
 
That sounds like a personal question you should ask yourself ^^

My opinion, my time is spent doing what I want. Considering I want to log in and play this game, it's worth it to me.
 
Take a break from it and let your eyes rest lol. Thats how I've been using the last two weeks from not playing the game to do. But my eyes hurt for another reason from work.
I finally got back on last night and I got into a party in Quicksands and ended up DCing :cry: but I got to play for an hour though lol. But anyways seriously take a break doesn't need to be two weeks just a few days lol. When you get back your realise that its just and game and nto get that worked up when things don't go your way, and your eyes will feel better lol.
 
Most people spend there life in the persute of distractions. You work in order to pay to have things to eat, a shelter over your head, and to afford entertainment. You've found a good one.

Besides what else would you have done with your time? I would have been watching tv a majority of the time that I've spent playing. If I wasn't playing I would have read several more books though and I wouldn't have gotten behind on my Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist. :cry:
 
If you need people to justify the game for you...you should probably stop playing... :roll:
 
if you're playing the game to get to level 75, and finding it tedious hard work, theres somthing horribly wrong with you.

i play the game because *gasp* i have fun leveling, farming (aka massacring orcs), and crafting. if you don't like all of it, then you really should stop playing the game.

I'll give you a tip. If you cut back on playing time, you're going to have the opposite feeling, that you don't have the time to do what you want, need, etc.

I'm not trying ti be an addict "enabler" here, but I felt like I was playing too much during the summer, and then cut back on time. he spare time I spent....doing nothing. Then, during school, I didn't play as much at the beginning, but then I as getting super-stressed being that I had school and no way to get rid of the "work-mode" feeling. Then I started playing again, and it was all gravy :lol:

A break is suggested, but as long as you find some fun in it, I'd keep on truckin' 8) 8)
 
I love this game. I really do. Lvling is fun and exciting. Something new everyday. I like farming and alsmot everything about this game. I dont need anyone to justify this game for me. I really like it, but looking back at all the time spent. I dont know, I just feel I could ahve done something more productive, I dont regret getting this game. Im just in awe as to how much time I have spent behind the monitor.
 
Well, I mean hanging out with buddies isn't really all that productive either, is it? A little more socially healthy, yes, but productive, not so much. Tht is, unless you guys go out and pick up litter or something...

Anyway, FFXI is a lot more productive than sitting and watchinf TV, b/c with FFXI, you're at least INTERACTING with others, whereas while watching TV, you aren't. Don't fret about FFXI. It's a fun hobby, and as long as you don't ignore all of your work or abandom family and friends completely, you're good. :wink:

Remember, there are people that play the game WAY more than you.
