LOL I do that too. I sometimes went /p hi!

 

[Miruyasha]

When you plan out what you are going to do today on ffxi at school or work.

i do this every day, i even started writing down to-do lists for each day . sadly, i'm not allowed to play on weekdays cuz of my fucking (sorry for language) parents saying i can only play on weekends. but still, i plan what i'm gonna do at school AND work...AND i planned my ls's mission run around my work schedule. :lol:

 

[Elphaba]

i hit the esc key several times on MSN messenger before i realize what happened

how about when youre chatting online and playing the game and get the keyboards mixed up >.<

 

[Zaltana]

when you're typing an incident report and u start using FFXI terms in it.

 

[mastershake]

when my wife says something funny and in stead of laughing i sometimes say "rofl"

Or like last night when shes trying to have sex with me and i tell her "Can it wait, I have to check if my stuff at the ah sold yet"

or my favorite!!!!!!!!!! This is how desprat people get on ffxi, my wife plays to btw
when im feeling randy and my wife isint it give her 100k for some oral action XD

 

[Rorschach]

When you're chatting on AIM and either keep hitting ctrl+L or keep hitting tab to use the auto translator and make it faster to type.

lmao i used to do something similar to this when i used to play CounterStrike a while back like catching myself pressing "Y' before i type and stuff. And now its the same with the Ctrl+L thing, or pressing enter after every sentence when i type stuff out. ^^;

 

[Blackchaoshero]

A new one for me!

When you tell a buddy at work, who also plays FFXI:

Him: Man this is too heavy to lift, can you help me?
Me: I dont wanna do it either, why dont you just 2 hour.
Him: ....
Me: *Nods*
Him: STFU and help me!

i was just flipping through this wonderful necro-thread and.... i came to this and i laughed... i rolled around in my chair clutvhing my sides and just laughed till tears came to my eyes...

you know you play too much when you're drunk and try and use warp to get to your room on the third floor...
and when you get up in the morning on your way out of your room you check (i did this this morning) you actually check to make sure your moogle hasn't made you wear a dorky hat...

 

[Aristarc]

when u read the whole thing, and /Laugh 'cause u know u've done most of them


"STFU! u F***ing ASSHAT NooB!!!" has been my recent, most repetitive insult. The insultee looks at me like /confused "WTH??"

 

[Tyrisian]

lol my two best are:

When you use "w00t" verbally to express real life emotion! (i did this by accident in the bank when the teller counted out my tax refund and the guard walked closer :lol: )

When you try to use BOOST while waiting for someone
(i was waiting for the pediatrician to call my kids back and clenched my fists *made the boost sound fx* my mind had been drifting off and i thought i was waiting for a slow puller)

 

[Kittin]

When your significant other who does not play FFXI starts using emotes such as /clap or /smile because you say them too much...

When your friends start offering to pay for your movie because you never go anywhere with them any more.

When you ask your rl friends if tomorrow is Wednesday or Firesday...

Also, when you stop eating finger food because you don't want to get stuff all over your keyboard(godamn cheetos), and you wont eat untensil food because the nearest fork is 6 feet from your chair, and you might miss a skill chain.

 

[Kittin]

Also, when your alarm clock goes off and you verbally ask it for a Mage's Ballad.

 

[Lecan]

When the last time you saw the light of day was 2 weeks ago.

 

[Algarius]

When you call lvl 50s n00bs because they farm the Hill lizards you exp your xx-th job on, in Valkurm Dunes.

 

[Rory]

when you get the urge to sing {Chocobo} {Mazurka} cause you need to get somewhere faster...

 

[ArmachiA]

I do the /l thing all the time in MSN and AIM... people get really confused...

When you met a fellow LS member and still call them by their game name (Sorry Ranpha XD)

When you answer to your game name IRL... ("Armi?" "Yeah?".... *Guilty*)

When all your IRL friends know that Friday is "FFXI day"
