That's the quote in the game so I figure I can use it even though Porum has been LONG gone.
Well everyone, it's been almost three years since my original start date and I believe its time to bow out. For many people who I regularly talked to in game, it's probably not that much of a shocker since I haven't been online much lately. With work progressing and my schedule not as flexible as it used to be, I haven't been able to play as much. (And a lot of the things in FF requred a commitment to a particular time in order to be fair to everyone. I didn't want to be a hinderance by having so many reschedules around me). So this is pretty much the end for me for now. I'm leaving enough stuff on me to restart as a monk if I ever come back. The majority of my stuff will be left to Swishiee...the lone Prarie Bear and a few others.
I've made a lot of friends and especially through the Prarie Bears. We were a group of RL friends that all played the game so it made it that much more fun. Sabia, Dirgesong, Vhaelraun, Porum, Dugrasse, Carth, were all great players. Our biggest NOOB moment was running around the world trying to get aspects of mission 2-3 done for the dragon fight. We have eight players and thought we could alliance the BCNM 2-3 fight.... well, you can probably figure out the result of that. The level spread was 20-24 and the other spread was our bodies lying around the dragon. We then added other players to the shell to increase the social aspect and Swishiee is and always will be a good friend of everyones.
I'd like to put some thanks out to many people out there. If I don't mention you, I'm sorry!!!! I'm just doing this off the top of my head after not playing consistently in eight months.
Sabia of course, she made this game so much fun and I really don't think I would have stayed as long as I did if I didn't become her lame sidekick
Swishiee of course because you helped us with so many missions back when you were a whopping level 53 and I was a measly 43..
Falseprophet..(Falsey). He quit a long time ago but he helped me a lot when he was in game. I know he trolls around her sometimes still too.
Runekane for inviting me to Bigfun back in the day when I needed another shell.
Pompidou for inviting me into Buchisdma when I needed an extra shell.
Ukyia, I remember the days when I was actually a higher level than you....I think that may have been a week. You were a samurai and I was a blm, and I think the Magic Bursting made you love the blms.
Devi, you helped me with a LOT near the end. Thanks again for that.
Cythe for taking me into Nameless to have a taste at some HNMs.
Alanon for helping me with that god awful BLM stuff (four-five hours...yikes!) and for giving tips on what should be done as a blm.
Daodao and Mistra. Man, I can't believe we chatted for so long after our crazy two week static with Clobiant and Sunran. (Man, my memory fades on that one...was it Clobiant?)
Anyone in NAfireblade. Members in that shell always seemed so helpful and special shout out to Jazper, Tenkax, Asiamise and Kateverlasting for the same reason.
Everyone in QCDN who have contributed to the better of our server because honestly, I think I'd be out a lot sooner if this site wasn't up and the community wasn't built here. (Thanks Sculli)
So, a quick thanks to all the names I've recognized through the boards in game, Kiere, Majorhavor, Jender, Yomiku, Alyada, Neyla, Trippyhippy, Firestreak, Rappa, Reya, Bajaratt, Ikari, Noyade, Mugenteg , Demonknightx, Taurothar, Eleibfrid, Paladine, Empyrean, Lecan, Lokkin, Loofa, Acks, Ecks, Aerdrie, Pannda, Audino, HaliFirien, Sneakypants, Svina, Hamburglar, Torque, Vang, Tyrath, Tymon and really, if I forgot your names, I'm really sorry!!!!
The game has been extremely fun and in the future I could be back but for now, it'll be a long break.
So seeing how I owe a bit to this site and I know there are the usual "Give me your stuff" requests, I figure I'll give a chance for someone to take it.
***Edit: Dejan has won this.****
The rules are... you have to answer the questions below. (To avoid a disaster about interpretation (some of you will remember that crazy selfish poster back from christmas that was hating on Sabs, I'll be final judge.)
The prize: 1.0 Million gil (I know this might not be much, but it's something. Also, equipment isn't usable by everyone and they'd probably just sell it anyways.)
People excluded from answering are Sculli, Swishiee, Pompidou, Daodao, Mistra, and Ukyia. Sculli, I know you could probably answer all these so that's why you can't answer. It'd be rigged.
These questions will be QCDN related
Question 1: Who was the first person to be on some sort of ban (not permanently) from QCDN and subsequently moved to Hades? (Edit: I don't think it was an actual ban but it involved him thinking he got banned because Sculli was being unfair of some sort.)
Question 2: Which poster always used licking as a emote? ( I believe it was licking )
Question 3: Fuzzy(what) (What is the what? It was a LS)
Question 4: The boards have changed ownership since the original creation. Owner 1 -> Owner 2 -> Sculli. Who was owner 2 and who did he acquire it from?
Question 5: Flamey's original name was?
Also, I'll probably have mules selling junk at ridiculous prices this next couple of weeks to get rid of misc junk. It'll be dirt cheap.
In Windurst, he'll be in Windurst Walls, just outside the mog house.
In Sandoria, he'll be in the church.
In Bastok, she'll be in Bastok Mines in the Inns where you also get one of the Teleport spells.
I figure this will at least give an edge for Qcdn-ers to give back to the community. Mind you, this won't be anything too great, just odds and ends that should go to someone rather than be wasted. Of course, it can't always be done at once so the mules will cycle.
Anyways, best of luck to everyone and take care. This post probably has been godly longer than it needed to be.
It's been great playing and posting with all of you.
