I have been trying for 6 months now to put the Ps2 controller in her hand and give FFXI a try, still no success.
She does'nt mind me playing, but everytime I do, I get the most feared "Girlfriend frown"!
lol
Here's what you do... carefully coerce her into making a character ("Just make a character! You don't have to play if you don't want to...") then once she's logged in and has cracked a few mandragoras over the head, say something like "Anyway, I can always just use the character as a mule". Then buy the character one of those robes you can get at level 2 or whatever.
Worked on me. :?
Tried that this very week-end. Created a mule and handed her the controller so she could just walk around: " But look at the graphics, are'nt they cool?" Answer:......... walks away!
Think I should send her some gils and bribe her into playing? :lol:
I've tried it all...
/sigh
My wife pretty much hates FFXI, with a passion.
She's got a character, but really doesn't play. The Taru dance holds her attention only so long. I mean, if that doesn't work, I don't know...It's hopeless.
I'm thinking about /throat stabbing her character and saying, "Well what did you expect? You don't play."
Last night I played for an hour. The wife wasn't happy, but I just said, "I am playing for an hour."
It was 7 PM and she was all cranky that I wouldn't come and watch a movie and just be with her right then and there. I had spent the entire day with her too.
Just asking for an hour here and there. Sometimes I just have to take it.
