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

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.

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

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. =)

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.
