Heh, I can relate to this. I'm going through a ruff patch myself. I started playing MMO's again recently because I suddenly had, uhh, "lots of time" on my hand, heh. I trialed a few different games and landed on this one. I just like it, not sure why. I see all the flaws to a fault, and theres a lot of things I'm like "man, why can't they just add chat bubbles? why can't I do a search in my inventory, arg!" but overall, this game has a good feel to it and thus warrants my sub for a few months. I've also met good peeps and in a cool FC that helps. I know its not healthy, but I find the countless hours of grind to be slightly medicating. It's just a fun escape without hurting myself (ie drugs, etc)
