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

You'll be back, they always come back. Miss ya!
Oooo... buying a house... good time to buy, mortgage rates are super-low, prices are at a 10-year low or so... I might start looking myself once if I can change jobs. I don't want to stay at my current job for much longer, so I don't want to buy a house(or a new car) until I figure out if I'm going to be staying in this area, or if I'll be moving somewhere else... be it another city, state or country.
Well, you SHOULD be catching up with TV soon... season is almost over, so you'll have a loooooooooooooooot more free time! Plus how many more people can you kill in Killzone 2 anyway? xD
Once you come back we'll have to do so much... WotG mission/quests, the Crystal Prophecy thingie... and more! And level another job! Let's get you something fun like PUP!
So... see you next month? :)
Next month... maybe... Instead I'd say, see you... later. =D
I don't know if I'll be catching up soon with TV, too much to watch. Then there's Band of Brothers I bought around Christmas, and still haven't watched it, along with other movies I have queued up. I think I have plenty to keep me busy outside FFXI.
Oooooooooooooooo.... Band of Brothers... now that's a good series! Go watch it!
And go watch Battlestar Galactica! So says Ascy!
