1. You Retired or quit or still playing this game?
Winners don't quit, they retire : p
2. Why?
I accomplished everything in the ffxi storyline when I retired out of it, killed just about everything, did dynamis, sky, sea, etc etc. I really saw no reason to keep going (TOAU) since it was getting kind of old and since I was playing on PS2 and couldn't claim anything lol. I mean the only reason to keep playing was maybe for equipment which I was sure SE would change every so often (they did) to keep people's money and for my friends. At least I could say I went out in style as I launched my own mini-quest for people to find me and gave away over 30 million gill probably in items. Also the load times and lag was horrible compared to other games. The deal was sealed when I had seek up for like 3+ hours over 2 days on a mellee and no one even sent me a tell. Also, it was just really time to move on, IRL and otherwise, like Mandos I was kind of disgusted when I saw the playing time and thought of other ways I could have used it, yet I wouldn't take it back, I really have no regrets and I enjoyed the game immensely, during the time I played it, it will go down in the Top 2 to 3 greatest games I've ever played on my list.
3. Had this game made a big effect of your IRL?
Definitely, I made great friends, even learned a little JP (phrases, etiquette etc.), also a few life lessons. It was the first game I played where your rep in the community carried weight much as it does IRL, you learn leadership, teamwork, and I think my typing improved immensely with this game ^^
4. Did you make any good friends?
I made a few, but I've been extremely busy with music and the upcoming release of an album lately.
5. Did you enjoy this game?
All the way until the time I retired, however it definitely had times when my PS2 was a hair away from being catapulted into the parking lot of my apartment complex, and only one controller ever got broken. So any game to pull that kind of emotion out of me I'll say I probably enjoyed in that love/hate relationship kind of way.
6. Any comment about this game?
If the game ever went to a private server, where it could be administrated on people that got in, moderated and customized on pop times etc etc, that would be awesome, also it'd be cool if my IRL friends played with me, not one of em did the whole time lol.
I had fun with it and I miss you guys that still play, but I'm glad I'm out of the game to be honest, what I'm doing now is so much more fun for me, and who knows maybe you'll see 'ol Supa on stage IRL one day^^
