[Logical]

Hour 23: Going through withdrawal symptoms. Tried double clicking on the Windower program on my computer. Get an error message. Should call that girl.

Hour 35: Threw my computer out. It's garbage, now. The forums don't provide me anything but jealousy. I saw Twilight Mail on the most viewed list. If only I could get a brew and go... No. No, that's crazy talk. Going to make a sandwich.

Hour 45: Bought a new computer. This one's shiny and runs so much faster. Downloaded FFXI and Windower again. I heard that opening song again and saw the opening cutscene. Just give me two minutes. I just want to solo a Colibri. Please. Two minutes!

Hour 52: It's late. I should've gone to bed hours ago. And yet I keep staring at this screen as though I'll magically be able to log in. And to think! I could be the only one on the server! Those suckers! I could solo Tiamat! Herald's gaiters; all mine! Need to stop typing due to uncontrollable insane laughter.

Hour 53: Punched a hole in my wall. Not getting my deposit back. I don't care. Vana'diel, why do you forsake me?!

Hour 65: Walked up to some random person on the street today and yelled "PROVOKE!" Nothing happened. So I hit him with a stick. Got a 0.3 stick skill-up and earned a new Weaponskill: Splinter. Guy got pretty agitated, so I used Flee. It wasn't very effective. Doc says I have to wear this cast for the next 2 weeks.

Hour 72: It's been three days. THREE DAYS! Started building an airship. No, not a model. The real deal. Propellers and everything. My plan is to use it to fly to Port Jeuno. Maybe I can get in a pick-up group for Rani. He's the last Caturae I need, after all.

[disturbed]

i am so ROFLMFAO irl atm lol

I've been playing table-top RPG's like Dungeons and Dragons for decades, but myself and others from my game group also play FFXI and have for 5+ years. "Yes, Please" and "Can I have it?" are now standard game terms and all types of money are refured to as gil even by those who don't play FF.
I now respond to the name Shadea as readily as I do my real name. (My mother has quite a bit to say about this issue for some reason lol). And all is right with the world ^.^
♥ One Love ♥

Oh...my...God. That one floored me the most after reading all the ones others left. lmfao...

This happened to me a couple years ago. As an avid crafter, I have plenty of uses for Lightning Crystals. As you all know, sometimes buying clusters are somewhat pricey and I am a cheapskate (I prefer the term frugal...). So, I go out into Qufim Island several times to farm Lightning Elementals on my BLM and perform maximum ownage on those suckers.

You know you're addicted to FFXI when you walk outside of your house, and it is overcast, and you physically wonder, "Ooh...Lightning weather...I wonder if there are any Elementals roaming about..." ... ... ... Yeah.

You know its bad, when you are at a club, and you shout /dance1 run... cntrl R.. repeat...

Last.. you know its really bad... when your husband looks at you.. and ask if you can create another character.. he wants to rp for the night-.-

Oh man that last one made me bust a gut laughing hehe.

[Dallas]

No, because a shadow would have meant 6 more weeks without power. ; ;

I was expecting GHD references, but the FFXI injection was a nice touch! /dance1 motion

You know your addicted to Final Fantasy XI, When you keep on hitting "Esc" (escape) on the keyboard in order to minimize the browser while your surfing the web!

[Gdsmsonn]

When someone asks you your age and you comment with a "I'm lvl *insert age here*"

Or while talking to someone you start yelling out various "auto translate" words such as "lies" etc.

[Donwu]

you know you play ffxi too much when.....

you check name tags at stores for linkpearls.

[Arourie]

OMG Logical i fell off my chair LOL

[Raka]

How can you tell a person is totally addicted to FFXI that might even relate to real life? Be creative.

When you grab a blanket, a pillow, and crawl into the corner of a dark closet during Server Maintenance, sucking on your thumb.

[Calexis]

Also just for the challenge I use right mouse click + drag to move!! Does that work?


When you remember the greatness that is The Adventures of Finsternis and Prufrock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4FOd4e0rjM&feature=related Yay Fins and Pru!


Um... when you've made a chart of everything you want to skill/level/obtain once FF goes online again, and most importantly: in which order to do it

^^;


...you're addicted when...
The info on the servers coming back up magically makes your headache go away.


when you type Ctr+R every time you chat on Instant Messengers


when ever u do something u see the emote for it /sigh I thought I was the only one.


When your dreams consist of you playing or being in FFXI.....

Been there...done that...that's when it's time to take a week off. We're having to take 2 weeks off... the dreams haven't stopped though :) I'm so much guiltier than I thought!

[Raka]

You know you're a FINAL FANTASY XI Addict when you have a PC or XBOX in every single room(yes, even the bathroom).

[Nidhogg]

I'm not an FFXI Addict I play once every 4 days, sometimes I wait longer if I'm busy.

[Harpalina]

You know your addicted to Final Fantasy XI, When you keep on hitting "Esc" (escape) on the keyboard in order to minimize the browser while your surfing the web!

[Rosalie]

When you need someone to cure you to wake you up. Then cast erase to unbind you from your bed. And when you feel you leveled up from a good sleep. >.>

[Bigtop]

When you refer to real money as gil.

LOL, The other night I went out to eat dinner with my wife and asked her if we had enough Gil in our account to cover the bill...

[Niklz]

You hear the victory tune in your head after getting laid.

[Cupofnoodles]

Chronofantasy,
Can you give credit to the creator of your SIG since you took his intellectual property and made it into yours?
Thanks,
COM

[Kaych]

LOL, The other night I went out to eat dinner with my wife and asked her if we had enough Gil in our account to cover the bill...

Maybe its just me, but isnt that something you check BEFORE you go out and eat? XD

[Hajieelkhe]

You're addicted when you pledge that once you get pregnant, you're gonna play ffxi continously during the last stages of pregnancy XD
And looking forward to xp-ing and having to afk to change the baby's nappy and w-e.

Lol

[Dallas]

On that baby note, for the last 4 years our house has pledged that our first son will be named Beastmaster. No sons yet...

[Bigtop]

Maybe its just me, but isnt that something you check BEFORE you go out and eat? XD

yes and no, it depends on which account it is coming out of, since we use different accounts as in I use one totally different account to pay for things I pay for online (like monthly installment for insurance and various games)and one for just about everything not done online and we have one for entertainment (going out to eat, movies etc.) and might need to transfer money to it if need be from our main account.

[Logandor]

You know when your addicted to ffxi when someone is talking to you for a while and you don't hear what they are saying till you hear them say "ffxi...." then your like "huh?"

That one is priceless and SOOOO true... we all can be sitting in the same room.... all zoned out.. I say ffxi.. and everyone looks at me..

[Harukusan]

You know you're addicted when, if applying for a job IRL, you use in-game jobs and experiences as past professions, and use your friend list for contact references.

On a similar note, I've had dreams of people being classified IRL as in-game jobs. People could use magic and wield sharp blades, take on quests, crafts and slaughter various monsters to make money, and most of all, the Dragoons which can never stop jumping around everywhere as if to be living pogo sticks.

[Raka]

You know you're addicted to FINAL FANTASY XI when: You are pulled over by a Police Officer and they ask to see your License and Registration...and you come to one of the two conclusions: "Oh shi....I'm being scammed for my info!" or you look around for a Chocobo License~

[chrism]

You know your addicted to FINAL FANTASY 11 when you start threads like this -.-

[Bulrogg]

...you are at a bar on a third date and she says "oh, well I play WoW a lot; it's much better" and you pour your drink on the floor and walk hard. (sorry Kacey but WoW sucks)

[Harpalina]

You hear the victory tune in your head after getting laid.

You try to make your teacup chihuahuas lvl up through little doggie battles- when ones crippled and the other has only one eye lol

[Raka]

You know you're addicted to FINAL FANTASY XI when...

You hear the Level Down sound after getting fired.

[Bulrogg]

...you hear drums in the distance and think "are we getting attacked?" To arms~ Campaign!!

I solo'd so many merits there that I would have dreams where I would be in some random building and then the drums would kick in, followed by Yaggs. T_T

[Harpalina]

I got sick and tired of Campaign music.

[Juri_Licious]

When you nick name your Pidgey in your Pokemon game Yagudo.

[Manicora]

Walked outside when I lived in Phoenix Az, Saw a crack head gettin beat up for not paying back some guys what he owed them. After he got knocked out, My friend and I ran up to him yelling "DO you need a raise, or do you want me to call a GM?"

It was a good day

[Manicora]

Fell asleep at work (Phone based IT work) I was up all night before camping Adamantos for my egg, was on phone with customer for 15-20 min already when she asked if i was there i promptly woke up and said "First off you voke then, you attack... If you attack first then voke you wont get hate off you mage" was fun covering that with "I was using video game terms, since most of our calls are from online gamers"
