okay, so I logged off like 5 minutes after Charles did (you logged, I ran to housing, logged), and I'm still fighting the temptation to go back in and try for level 9. and that's the only reason I'm still up. since I bought the game on Tuesday, I've logged more than 21 hours of actual play time. this isn't counting looking up FAQs, tracking down a World Pass, getting it all set up (which was a bitch and a half), and all the other little bullshit things outside the game.

damn, but FFXI is addictive.

I didn't log, actually... I DC'd. Fucking 56K. >.<
Anyway, after linkdeath, I logged back on, took care of some brief AH business, then went to bed.
...man, it's only a matter of time before YOU'RE the one tanking for ME. O.o;; I mean, hell, you were holding your own like a soldier, last night, despite being lower level than I am. Hell, you were even missing strikes less often. (I really need to do something about that... >.> )

LOL, yah - she saved my ass manyatime. Even after becoming a white mage and having no weapon but her fists, she was beating the shit out of orcs and stuff... then healing me. lol

Hey, overachieving is what I do in games. ^_^

Long. Experience. I've been playing MMORPGs since the end of '99, and they've always been an obsession for me. In fact, I've cut way back: just a couple of years I'd probably still be playing, having not logged since Tuesday. I always hit a bit of a dead-end before, though, 'cause I've never been very good at partying. ¬_¬

Hell, I was probably "missing less often" because I get two attacks per, er, round? Most of the time I miss one of those, but that still leaves me with a hit. You were still doing most of the damage, though.

I've been working on MNKing Karyn a bit on the side, to get her hand-to-hand skillz up to snuff. I haven't been doing it too much tho, lately... I'm working with a pair of Cat Baghnaks for a weapon, and my delay is atrocious... and since my h2h is so low, I miss even more than I do now, as a THF. >.<
Any suggestions?

As for the obsession, don't get me started. Evercrack never did it for me (which is why it's so bizarre, to me, that FFXI does), but I could tell you stories about RO... ¬.¬

I just stuck with bare hands until I could use Cesti. Really, the Baghnaks never seemed worth the delay for me.

I know how that feels. Except for the whole Final Fantasy part, I know how the temptation to log back in and get that last level is.
It's a pretty cool sensation. =)
