So this is what my life has been reduced to...

[Harpalina]

Checking this forum and facebook. It's funny how we develop such a routine playing FFXI and now that it's not as readily available, it's like..."Hm...I have nothing going on. o.o" Anyone else feel this way?

[Pasi]

lol I feel the same way. Your not alone trust me.

[Nvr]

Days don't seem to slow when FFXI is up...

885, how do you even have that much to say? lol
I am beginning to suspect there is a forum around here that no one goes in where we will all find a very long topic of your talking to yourself.

I like this. Where's the f*cking "Like" button?! I'M GOING CRAZY WITHOUT FFXI! Blue seems to be five and water is like bbq chicken!

[JagerForrester]

No, it's more like he talks very little in a lot of posts.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

[Arconis]

lol thats because English forums have most pointless threads then all others combined. sence FFXI went down seems forums have been flooded with bored ppl lol which they have been myself included.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

[Krashport]

No, they just take the forums as a new expansion and they're all rushing to play it.

lol wow in a funny and odd way that makes a lot of sense.

[annewandering]

oh man we are not alone. i know there is something else to do. like redo the bathroom. paint the living room. replace light fixture in bedroom and add a cool one in the kitchen that has been sitting on fridge for about five months now. put up moulding on bedroom ceiling. finish the kitchen island. fix the joist in that part of the house. sighs. so much to do but what if they started game tuesday? woudnt have enough time to finish them all by them so going to wait. ^^

[Arconis]

lol Ya I keep looking at all work around here need to get done. It was alot easier to ignore when playing FFXI now I try to ignore by posting but not going very well lol. All I can say is atleast some of this stuff is getting done around here for now anyways

[Logical]

My wife and kid want me to have the game back, I think im bothering them to much xD

[Harpalina]

My wife and kid want me to have the game back, I think im bothering them to much xD

Lawl. That is pretty epic.

I been talking to my mom she tries to get me off the phone and FAILS. Then I go play Pokemon B/W while spamming the refresh button on this forum <3

[Vivivivi]

[Vortex]

The english forums have more pages then the japanese/french/german forums combined.

I'm sure the japanese have alot more to worry about atm.......

french and german players are actually quite rare. it's only us that are numorous.

[jeffanddane]

Lol Vortex you would be surprised my family there wants FFXI back up now XDDDD. There tired depressed and needa escape. A lot of Japanese FFXI players are helping there community but you will be surprised how many gamers want FFXI back up.

[annewandering]

oh the pain of it all. lol

[Harpalina]

oh the pain of it all. lol

The pain that burns more than a thousand suns o_o

[annewandering]

The pain that burns more than a thousand suns o_o
the whitest of the whitest suns! oh and white = hot not race lol.

[Nattack]

dont feel bad, some peoples highlights of life is facebook.

but do aspire to greater things.

[Chronofantasy]

There's a lot of things that people can do, but people are so used to playing FFXI that it has become a part of them and now they feel lost without it and become lacking in interest to do anything else. I know I'm getting like this. There's thousand of other games I want to play but most of the time when I get into playing it I get bored soon after. I think Dissidia 2 will be the only game coming out soon that I'll actually hold an interest in because it's FF, but other than that I've mostly been watching stuff with any interesting storylines.

[Harmless]

My wife and kid want me to have the game back, I think im bothering them to much xD

Exactly this ^^ My girlfriend asks me like 20 times a day "what's wrong?" I guess I appear lost lately. Funny thing is that I'm not hugely bothered that the servers are down... I think I'm just trying too hard to find SOMETHING to fill my days.

Up until this past week I loved my life. I own a dj company and make more than enough money to get by working only Friday and Saturday night, the rest of my week was my "weekend". Now I wish I had a part time job or something lol. Been playing FF7 again to get my fix.

[Harpalina]

I think you've pretty much summed up how I've been feeling since the servers went down. I'm not terribly upset that the servers are down...I'm just kinda empty <.<

[mercurylost]

LMAO my wife keeps making fun of me saying i'm having withdrawls. FFXI is so crazy addictive. Sadly i spent this week printing off a ton of ffxi wiki pages and making a reference binder. [nerd]

[Tsukino_Kaji]

No because I have job and a LIFE.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

No because I have job and a LIFE.Perhaps you should go live it instead of flaming other people?

[jeffanddane]

Detoxy >.> thats a very ignorant thing to say. Just because people decide to play a game all the time that doesn't mean they don't have a life. Who are you to say that ? Like i mean seriously >.>? A person who lives there life the way they want is living life. A person who is being miserable living life isn't living a life. A person living life that is going through misery to live the way they want is also living life. You really have no right to say that.

[Harpalina]

...I don't even know what to say to this.

[Pasi]

Thats awesome man! lol good idea ;)

[Harpalina]

No because I have job and a LIFE.

You're just a very unhappy person, aren't you? I wasn't expecting to get flamed by starting this thread but I guess you proved me wrong. Does it make you feel better talking down to other people? Do you feel like you have accomplished the greater good? Has your LIFE been fulfilled? Jeez, I was just trying to have some fun with the forum. Take the stick out of your ass and I suggest you do the same...have fun, that is.

[jeffanddane]

...I don't even know what to say to this.

Same here Harpalina. . .

[annewandering]

No because I have job and a LIFE.

then go away. you are boring and for me to say that is........ well nothing short of incredible.

[annewandering]

quoted wrong post!! was quoting the one about the wiki printoffs.

I would like to do this for abyssea but i would have to rehook up the printer and that would mean leaving ffxi forums to do it.

This week has shown me one thing for sure...If FFXI never came back, I would make a friggin' graphic novel about all my years playing the game to ease the pain lol It's funny though, I did the same thing I'm doing now (drawing FFXI crap like crazy) as I did before FFXI was released in the US o.O I had fan art flying all over the place lol

[Harpalina]

EDIT: Yes, I feel the same. I'm so lost without my FFXI...You know, despite people saying that they're going to quit FFXI because of this whole server shutdown situation, I wonder if there's going to be a huge surge of logins when the servers go back live. lol.
