when you jump in front of a bus to get home quicker

You know you are a addict to FFXI when you play, when you insted should be: eating breakfest, doing the dishes, laundry, be at school, make dinner, be social, order pizza cos u dont have the "time" to make dinner, go to bed... when you stop taking your cell phone, when you have sign that says "Dont disturb, I am playing", when you only talk to friends on facebook cos its less timeconsuming.... when you stop talking to your friends on facebook cos its less timeconsuming>_> When you start talking to a ball cos you have no friends, when you and the ball gets married<_< When you divorce Mr Wilson (the ball), cos marrige takes up too much time away from FFXI. when you jump in front of a bus to get home quicker (yeah, /jobability steal <Ryuusuke> <3). When you say in your testament that you wanna be buried with your laptop^_-

Thank gawd I dont have any of those things XD

Shouldn't that be Mr. Wilson? From Castaway?

A few years ago my brain refused to get me out of bed for work until 9.00am (when I'm supposed to start) because my sleepy mind was convinced I had set my home point to my workplace and I could just Warp there in an instant.

Was late that day.

Dang, knew I forgot something XD

*edits*

You know you're addicted to FFXI when you start changing clothes on the street and insist that is gear change until a police come and cart you off.

I've done that, but the driver obviously had no intent on stopping for me. The said nothing as I got onto that bus.

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.

lol lost count of the amount of times i did this playing FF13


when you see a cleaning chemical at work called D2 and wonder if drinking it will get you home quicker.... true story... i need help

when you compare real life prices to AH prices.

when you wish you could make money in the same way as in FFXI, by killing random things and selling their "drops" to someone who seems to always have enough money to buy your junk, but there's no "mobs" to kill or people to sell to.

lol /slap comes to mind. i can practically see my text box when people talk to me.

when you panic and hop up and down on either foot shaking your hands

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 ^.^

My friends used to call me by my game name all the time. It only took them 3years after quitting the game to actually call me by my real name.

my friends that quit still call me by my game moniker. mom had some strange looks when she would get calls for Tito and im like, yeah thats me mom

When you refer to real money as gil.

when you are walking around and you want to pull up your map

When you forget how to play a Online RPG game you quit to play for FFXI and come back and try to use the controls like in FFXI but it doesn't work in the game you are playing now..

I need a raise...

...... Three people in my house play, and sometimes all we do is talk about ffxi.. you know its said when my husband calls his mom "Mysha" through the house instead of mom.. we know all play in the same room..

You know its bad.. when we go out.. look baby.. that sign "GLK" means galka lvl 90 in game.. or some sign refers to game..

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-.-

You know you're addicted to FFXI when you try to zone the cops

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.
