I won't go into details, but I'm another victim that has let a game, A GAME, take control and ruin a lot of aspects of their lives. I can't do it anymore, it's taken me this long to realize that this should be a hobby at best and not a lifestyle. So with that in mind, this is my formal good-bye. Needless to say that I will not follow-up on the Aion thread either, if anybody was reading that. Without further ado, the thank yous (and I won't remember everybody):

Zephayra - You crazy, thanks for all the times you kept me company in my fits of insomnia, I enjoyed talking with you and even through all the drama I was somehow still able to come out either neutral or on your side. Gallant Surcoat ftw! Stay out of trouble while I'm gone ;)

Tanshui - Even though I never got into a personal conversation with you, besides maybe about how you got a house, I still felt like you were a great friend. I guess it's safe to say that what goes around comes around and your kindness was returned 10-fold for the kindness I showed when you first began your journey. You have the skill and determination enough for both us to keep the Seagull Phratrie honor alive lol.

Darsha - Hey girl, lemme pee in yo butt!

Ravensmage - You introduced me to some new great friends all because I showed you the way through Den of Rancor. Fair trade-off I believe... ok so maybe you got shafted (huh huh shaft) but still, good times man. Watch out for those nazis!

Bender - GTA FREE MODE!! GOGO ROCKET LAUNCHER!! You're a cool dude, as long as you get those chewy dicks out of your mouth so I can understand what you're saying! Haha, just playin, cya round bro.

Taisa - Are you sure you're not a girl?

Justinp - Are you sure Taisa isn't a girl? Statics blow.

Kayleen - Really just met you, but I'm sure the hilarity is scheduled to further ensue.

Isollde - Do I even need to say the B word? I mean the minute I typed "Isollde" you should've figured all I was going to type was... BEWBS!!!!

Palides - You're still a fat bitch.

Almane (if you're on here) - What can I say? Hard times, easy times, bad times, good times.. been through it all. It's nice to know I always had someone to talk to. Stay in touch!

Kratius (not sure he's on here) - Good times hangin out when I was still a baby to the game. Take care out there man.

All the people from TricksandSticks - You guys were amazing, one of the first big linkshells I ever associated with and even though I went a different direction I still thank all of you for the help and support.

All the people of Machina - You guys are nothing short of crazy, great linkshell, couldn't have asked for a better blessing than to meet with all of you.




I'll lurk here for the next week probably just to correct if I missed anybody and say my good-byes on a more personal basis. I wish you all the best and don't let the same thing happen to yourselves, remember at the end of the day you won't get $5 million dollars for your achievements, nobody will thank you for your contributions to vana'diel societies unless it's scripted, and FFXI IS JUST A GAME.







P.S. In case anybody was wondering, yes, I did buy gil.

;-; Imma miss you man. :/ Good luck in enjoying your life. Don't be a stranger, and keep in touch you boob fiend! <3 <3


BEWBIEZ! :D
 
Oh no...alf...later bro, keep it touch!


Really, keep it touch fag.
 
Man. You already know this, but I'm sad to see you go.

I still remember the first group I was ever in on Quetzy; you were in it. It was my second day starting fresh after 4 1/2 years of break and I was a subless WHM. Not only did you convince the group to get the two easier sub job items, but after the group you hopped on your Paladin and got me the skull. When I got lost on the way back you came and guided me to the outpost. When I didn't have $ to outpost-warp you gave me 5k. Talk about an overdose of kindness and has since then lead me to lend the same helping hand to each new person I came across. By the way, I used the rest of that 5k to buy some overpriced starting city AH armor that sold at vendors for less. Damn, nub mistake.

Fast forward to Corsair AF quests, where I bumped into you again. Not only did you went out of your way to guide me again to the Corsair ???, but you died in the process to escort me safely. And then we went and got our Corsair pimp hat together too. Good times.

Take care man. Real life comes first. I had been in that situation before where I neglected just about everything and gamed 16 hours a day. Granted, I think I escaped that past a lot luckier than most people - but it came only after the realization that you arrived at; that this game, like all games, is a leisure hobby and nothing more. I trust that you can regain control of your life and position yourself to once again enjoy other hobbies with proper prioritizing between work and play.

Best of luck to you. You have my contact information outside of game. Keep in touch.

YOUBOUGHTGILRATEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN~

I can say firsthand that the game can really get a deathgrip on you without really realizing it...but I can also say that you don't need to quit, but maybe just take a break for a month or three, it does help a lot. Whether you return or not, I hope you care with real life stuff.
 
Wish you all the best and hope to hear from you... /wave
 
To Oinkpig:

I am glad to see that I'm on the top of your goodbye list, cuz I'm awesome!

Also, I hardly saw you on lately, or maybe that was because I was hardly on, but I digress.

It was a pleasure hanging out with you. And pfft, there wasn't THAT much drama. However, I'm glad I always had you to bitch to, and I'm glad you took it all in stride. And I really doubt I will ever stay out of trouble, whether you're here or not >_>

My favourite Alf memories:

- Farming pop items for Gallant Surcoat and getting Kraken Club look-a-likes. Dual wield Shellbusters!!

- Getting Gallant Surcoats together

- That time you took Dallius and I to the past and we all died =/

- PVP with your COR

I'll always hold onto your Company Sword ;_:. Stay in touch!

P.S. Dallius hates your guts. But he sucks.

Luv Moocow

Edit: Did you draw that? You never told me you actually had talent. I just thought you were a worthless bum.

AHAHA Moocow I had almost forgotten about that! Yeah you were the first person to mind, believe it or not.

Oh ok, so you're still a worthless bum!
 
Take care and good luck getting your real life squared away.
 
Holy shit what's with the rate-downs guys? Ok, I get it, you don't like gil-buyers... /sigh whatever gets your jollies off I guess. Thank god I'm leaving this cesspool of morons (minus the few who know they're not assholes).
 
gonna miss you babes. Dont know anyone else who is gonna poke fun at me in the middle of the night the way you do. You better keep in touch or else I will find a way to nuke the shyte outta yer arse.

It's true.
 
Yes, I'm sure Taisa isn't a girl.




I don't think.....


Have a good life man!
