I was going to write one more message since it has been 1 year since my last post. The problem was is I was going to write it on my 1 year from canceling my accounts, but after rereading the post, that was actually October 31. Oh well...
So it has been 1 year since I left FFXI and basically a year since I left FFXIV. FFXI has changed so much since I left. The level cap is up at 95 now and so much of my gear would be total trash if I ever went back. It is really sad because I do honestly miss it. I have thought about going back just to level BST at my own pace but it feels like such a waste because I wouldn't have anyone to do it with and it isn't the most fun by yourself. Not to mention most of my time is now taken up by my girlfriend "not" moving in with me (yeah, she's moved in). Which means my life is no longer my own but everything I do has to be ok'd by her.
Anyways, I was going to try FFXIV some more because that game has changed so much now too but I just can't find the time to play it. They say by this time next year they will have FFXIV 2.0 rolled out and the game will be completely different and much more like FFXI than they originally anticipated. I'm ok with that because I enjoyed FFXI so much and it was really a great game that was balanced well with the grind and the fun stuff to do. The grind back in the day was tough, but still fun and not a terrible terrible time sink because you could still get some advancement every night. It was more difficult to get parties than it was to actually level up. FFXIV has been free to play for so long now that I'm debating sinking some time into playing it until they make it pay-to-play again which is supposed to be at the end of this month some time ... I think. After that, I will have to see how much time I have and how much I'm actually willing to spend and play FFXIV after the huge changes. Only time will tell.
Since no one will probably ever read this post, I will just say one more good luck in your endeavors to all of my old FFXI friends and I hope to see you again in some game in the future.
Treubond Out...
