Life got in the way for me, and when I tried to make a comeback it just didn't feel the same anymore. I was gone when WotG was released and while it became the new focus of a lot of people in the game, so when I was able to play again I just felt lost. I still pay every month for the character I don't use anymore because I like the idea of one day returning, but I think my friends in the game, my LS, and I all know the truth.
One good thing about me quiting though (among many) is that I have rediscovered the joy of console gaming. Funny thing is that some of my favorite games (besides the obvious Left4Deads, Castle Crashers, and CODs of the world) are all offline MMORPGlike games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Fable 2, and Oblivion.

I left Unicorn cause I needed to get away from all the drama & negativity that was going on. Plus I wanted to get away from Red Mage.

my ffxi days had succumbed to graduating from university, getting married, and having a bun in the oven. Sometimes I miss playing but that chapter in my life is over and I have moved on.

Hakutaku cluster breaking on synth + wiping to Charybdis at 1% after camping for weeks at a time and losing claims. Also, being the ripe age of 16, I was without a job unfortunately and had no way of buying the new expansion which was Aht Urghan at the time, so I sat around in Jeuno with nothing to do while all my friends were out having fun, exploring all the new content. QQ. Tried to come back a few times, but every time I did I realized I gave all my shit away and I had nothing left. I asked for some of the things back (which was wrong of me) from friends, but they said they had either sold it or given it away. I kind of felt betrayed and forgotten, but I was an emo kid, and it was no one's fault but mine.
But I was young back then. Started playing at 14, quit when I was 16. Now I'm 19 and I can't help but look back and think about some of the stupid shit I did/said when I used to play. Can't help but think of the game and all the people I met through playing sometimes. I also just miss playing the game itself. I miss doing exp parties and skill chains and leveling up every fucking class to 50 so I could never hit 75 on any of them. I miss sitting around in Jeuno with Taruwaru and just making fun of random people who complained about his gambling game. I miss sitting around in Ordelle's caves for months at a time, stomping the gilsellers to claims on Stroper Chyme. That kinda stuff.
But you know, time goes on. That part of my life is over unfortunately. Well, I still just sit around and play WoW and Halo when I'm not working/sleeping, so it's basically the same thing. But I took a year off after graduation high school and I plan on furthering my education this fall. Some of you I still have on myspace, MSN, or w/e. The rest of you are probably the reason I still hang around here. When I see your names, memories instantly flash through my mind. Good ones relating to KI, mostly. Oh, and yes, I do feel retarded for naming myself "Mrkrabs" because that issue has come up, but I did it as a joke to one of my RL friends that played at the time, and just kinda went with it. lol
Ah, the good ol' days. Oh, and forgive me for the gigantic wall of text, guess I just wanted to get all of that off my chest. I'm sitting here killing time until I have to go to work, and I'm very bored.

MEEEEESSSTTTIIIRRR KKRRAAABBSSS. Those were good times man, I still think back to those casino days at times and wish I could do it all again. Those honestly were some fun times and I met a lot of cool people doing it, made a lot of enemys as well as i'm sure you can remember.
Lately i've been getting odd cravings to go back to FFXI but then I think how i'll log in and just be like 'Now what?' everyone was already long gone last I saw, I can't imagine it's any better. The casino will never be what it used to, everyone is too split up between Whitegate and that new conquest or something or other crap. LJ is like a ghost town and whitegate got filled with all pricks and people who can't speak english.
I can't remember if I sold my Ninja gear.. I used to buy it and resell it every other day...can't remember what kind of shape I last left my char in.
Idk, I hated this game on so many levels but at the same time I had such a blast doing what I did that I wish I could go back to it just for a day or two and it'd be like it was at its peak. There was some random retard in wow 'wowcasino' who was trying to be a.. you guessed it, casino! I ended up clearing him out of his 1k in true Taruwaru fashion
...I think that was what brought back all the old memorys of casino stuff. The huge bets... the big wins... the big losses.. the 4million ores breaking in synths..the good times.. the bad times... the drama i'd cause as a result of being 15. Remember that time that one tried to steal my account and I tracked them down in RL and made them give me all my stuff back + theirs? Funny stuff... I could be so stupid back then at times, I still am though i'm sure. Hard to believe i'm 23 now, I feel like an old man.I tried to rebuy FFXI off direct2drive cause god knows what i've done with all those CD's... but they have some crazy stuff where you can't buy a MMO if you have a free e-mail address like aol.com or hotmail (Makes a world of sence) I guess i'll pick it up when I decide to stop being lazy. I need to do something with all that stuff sitting there, maybe have one more night of casino where I basically just give all my crap away to people. I always wanted to do that when I left but just never ended up happening how I planned.
So yeah, now I play WoW like most of us do. It's 10x better but the social part just isn't the same, people are retarded there and have no sense of humor. If it doesn't have the words 'fail' or 'omgwtfbbq' nobody finds it funny -.-. I mean most people sucked in FFXI but even the people who sucked were a ton of fun to screw with. Remember those times i'd be doing my bullshit thing messing with people and someone would say something so dumb I just wouldn't know what to do with them or respond with cause it's like your brain just skipped a beat from soaking in all the stupid they just bestowed upon you? Well, that's basically every conversation in WoW. I've got a 80 Ret. pally on Zul'jin named Sedix just moved him there from Uldum. Meh, that's all I got.. thinking about this game too much makes me depressd for some odd reason that I honestly don't have the answer to.
Be good krabman and anyone else who I used to know that should happen to stumble upon this post.. unless I didn't like you in which case Taruwaru poos on you.

I left FFXI when I was arrested for assault and possession of meth.
jay kay
I've been watching Intervention too much.
I left FFXI after a lot of stuff happened IG and IRL. I realized that I was wasting my time even logging into the game because all I'd do is sit in Jueno all day and talk. I was paying 14$ for an advanced chatroom I guess. I also noticed that it was taking a huge chunk of my social life away. Most of the people I talked to on Unicorn were cool, but it feels a million times better to actually go somewhere with a friend instead of sitting at a computer and typing. Omg, I also had no idea how pale I was!! I felt like a vampire or something.
Now life is great! Right now I have a really good tan, I'm closer to my friends and family, and I can cook now! I also learned how to do minor things to my car like checking the oil or changing a fuse!
I do miss the people from FFXI, though. I still talk to some of the people I was close to. I say I a lot.. does that make me sound self-centered? I hope not
. That would be lame. Of course I am talking about myself. Anyway, back on topic. Sometimes I consider going back, but it wouldn't be the same. Most of the people that played when I was around are looong gone. Sometimes I'll see things that remind me of the game like a midget or some freak dressed in a robe. And occasionally I remember things like ManFaye or the two-headed fire breathing noob that stubbie slayed when he signed a piece of armour that the monsternoob wasn't saisfied with. Good times. 
Taruwaru... I saw your post on gamespot the other day when I heard about the new FF Online. Then I felt like a loser for being on a game forum... so why am I here...?

Well I couldn't resist anymore, the cravings became too strong.
I already felt like playing this game as it was and then with the mention of XIV......
I can't imagine it being a very happy return but at the very least i'll get it out of my system.
Oh, as a extra special welcome back to the game it took me 3 days just to update my fucking payment info. Already i've remembered why I used to say those magical words in my head at least once a day 'Fuck you SE'.
Soooo after downloading the game for two days then waiting 3 days or so to update my CC info i'm 1st downloading 6 hours worth of updates..this is more trouble then it's worth just to log in, wander around white gate for 5 minutes and realize the game still sucks. I'm so stuborn though... once I get something stuck in my head...
Who knows, maybe i'll be pleasently surprised? >.>
Actually, i'm pretty psyched about gear scaling in lvl restricted content, maybe I can finally get past riverine b is CoP? CoP was the biggest failure of content ever imo. Too bad they didn't do this is in the 1st place. That's SE For you though, always a day late and a buck short. I'll quit my ramblings now, just bored while this fucking thing downloads...58%! ....woo >.>
