while i spent as much time on this game as anyone, it was an addiction that took away years of my life and caused problems that i regret. it was a terrble addiction, luckily i never took it that serious tho. I got mpk'd, i didnt cry. i lost some exp, i didnt care, i was always broke, oh well. RmT? didnt care
and of course i hacked every aspect i could, its one of the things i like to do to anything to figure out how it works, game consoles, pc's, other games and programs. i mean i dont need ffxi to do that, but the thing that draws you into hacking ffxi is that its soooo "Taboo" when your a hacker in this game, kinda makes you wanna do it more.
Ive hacked games like halo 2, soft modded (i hate mod chips!) my xbox, ps2, 360 to do things so nuts it made it that much more fun to own.
Its a hobby to me, i like that kinda thing. Im a tech addict and i like to know how things work.
that leads to me being able to do other things, music, videos, my own games etc.
while i loved hacking the game, and had fun playing. I didnt take it as seriously as some of the people who treat it like a second life or something.
