After another month of re-evaluating where I stood with FFXI, I've decided to deactivate my account for a bit. It's been a month since my last post and, if anything, my feelings about FFXI got worse. I was less inclined to do stuff this month than last month. I've only really logged in to do Limbus. I think I really decided half way through March, but wasn't 100% sure about it until now.
The thing is, I don't have anything against the game, it's just that I don't have the urge to play as I used to. There used to be a time when I would think about FFXI alot... an almost unhealthy amount. I'd be at work looking things up on wiki, thinking about what I would do as soon as I get home and get online. I'd have FFXI on the brain most of the time... and now, nothing. No motivation to play whatsoever.
One reason that might be to blame for the lack of motivation is increased PS3 time. From previous posts, I mentioned games I was playing, then early this month was Killzone 2. I played it alot for the first two weeks, even to the point where I got a game medal for being in the top 3% of players that week X.x (recognition goes to the top 1, 3, 6, and 10 percent weekly). But I've gotten to the point where my play time has significantly been reduced, but still no urge to play FFXI any more.
The other part of my time is split with TV now. I'm pretty far behind in shows and I find myself just watching random shows and random episodes here and there of whatever is on. I find that more appealing that FFXI still =/ Sadness. I'm hoping that will change as summer rolls around and TV shows are on break.
At the moment, I'm thinking 1-2 month break would be nice... gives me time to possibly start missing the game, and maybe enough to draw me back to it. That should be around the May/June time frame. When that time rolls around, I'll re-evaluate things once again. Though the timing might be bad, as my goal for this summer is to move out and buy my own place... and I forsee the search process taking some time... we'll see.
As always I'll be on AIM still... and probably PS3 =P
