If you come back, I will be coming back as well. I will only be passing a blue bird egg to Chakoteh IF she's online, and IF she can come meet me. I will not be giving her any gil, or any other items. All I can say is remember the NPC manuals? Yeah.

Thats a great idea. ONE egg, but that was ONLY if you were going to quit playing. If you are keeping an active character, then there is no need to pass her anything.
I guess Yhamuna is owed some money from past Sky runs. Boza posted something about it in the staff section, when he was whining about folks that commit to play, and never show up. I reminded him that Yhamuna made is VERY clear she is NOT coming back to sky as yha, and IF she comes back, it will be as Saekeion. That he should take you OFF his roster, and stop looking for you. He said he has taken you off the roster, and his complaint was NOT about you, but a general rant. The only reason he mentioned Yhamuna was she is owed money from playing in some Sky stuff. If you dont go claim it or speak up for it on the website on how you want it handled I guess in a few weeks, they will simply add it to the kitty of the LS sky bucket. Up to you. if you want it, go get it. If not, it will just roll over.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go back, but for now, I am not willing to risk the headaches, and the visual issues. June is the earliest I would even consider thinking about it.
I am happy that you got yhamuna back under your belt, and were able to salvage so many things.

Eh, just tell them to add it to the kitty, whatever. I didn't join Sky to earn money, and since I didn't spend any money to be there, it's no big deal. Both accounts have been canceled. If you decide to come back, I will as well. More details about things are in an email sent to you, Dej. Yhamuna is completely cleaned out, and shut down. I will not reactivate ever again, probably. Only way I see me reactivating her is if I come back, and I'm willing to fork over real life money to tie up loose ends, like getting Ninjutsu scrolls off those characters via questing. But, I doubt it. I posted a goodbye thread on their message boards as well, just to be civil. They were friendly to me while I was there, so they deserve to be told goodbye, as much as I wanted just to shut all down without saying a word... I hate explaining my reasons. If you come back to a game, you should consider WoW again. We're all playing again, but I'm still pretty much the only one online during the day. But, you'd have people to play with. Plus, no scrolling text, and you can make the font larger. However, you'd still have to sit at the computer to play.

I know that was really hard for you. Im glad that you were the one that got to put yhamuna to sleep, since she was yours out of the gate. I did take good care of her while she was in my care. Thanks for loaning her to me. I am also glad you at least said goodbye. no sense in burning a bridge when you dont have to. They really liked you at WW, and many kept asking about you. I told them that your family obligations come first.
I really miss playing the game in so many aspects, but there are other aspects I dont miss. I dont miss losing exp when i die. I dont miss having to rip my eyes out of my head in order to read the scrolling text. I dont miss the monthly bill. I dont miss the increasing level of attitude about Sky that appears to be happening in the LS. it was starting to turn into a normal shell of push push push. I dont need, or want that.
Im proud of the way you handled it all. Thanks! you rock!

not sure if any one played with Ergon. He was a 19 year old kid from VA. Really nice kid, and was very helpful and friendly to me. He changed servers not that long ago, and was working on PLD at level 71 and excited to hit 75 soon. He was complaining of not feeling well, and saw several MDs who told him it was just a bug go home. He died last week of a low potassium level, and his heart stopped. Really sad.
The kids real name was Corey Pace. Just thought you would want to know. broke my heart.

I remember him, though I didn't talk much with him. I remember him telling us he wasn't well, etc... and switching servers all of the sudden. I thought he got well after he switched though. Very sad to hear he died... Wonder if we were related somewhere down the line, with his last name? >.> Think they said he lived in VA, so it might be possible...

mis spelled his character name. Its egron, not ergon. we called him Egg most of the time.
Anyway, he had been sick with something for awhile, and his body just couldnt correct his potassium, but his dummy MDs never tested it to see if it was out of whack. They just told him that he was young, healthy, and had the flu, go home and rest.
REally sad.

0:24 is hillarious. Elvaan Red Mage runs up, stops and stares for a second, then runs away. XD

www.gamespot.com/news/6214710.htmlMore on the lawsuit against Square-Enix about FFXI. Most of the commenters support her, but... most of them only know WoW. This info wasn't hidden from us, so I don't see the lawsuit working.

This woman is full of shit. SE does not hide the fees at all. Sure it doesn't say what the fees are on the box but seriously, its not supposed to. The box is designed to grab your attention so you will buy it, not have a ToS written all over it. The ToS did have all the information on it once you installed the game. I can't believe this bitch is actually suing for lost game data. Hell, I can't stand some of SE's customer support but I would be willing to go to court and defend them on this. XD

Set up a free trial for FFXI today. Don't plan to do much, just putz around. I've been looking at my FFXI screens, and the info for FFXIV and I miss the game a little. Not enough to pay to reactivate Saekeion though.

Haven't done much yet, just trying to get my head around this new event... well not really new, it's summerfest, but there's new stuff in it. OK, so we have a kari clone and a yha clone... they're blabbering something about dancing... So then they start clubbing each other with sticks... And then a Lich appears... WTF? I think the event is over now though, haven't logged in to check.

I made the mistake of listening to the OST this morning of this game... and god damn, does it bring back memories. I can associate memories with pretty much every track! Good and bad. Here are some so you can all suffer the nostalgic feelings that I did this morning: I can remember when I VERY first started, like literally the night I got the game; running around Ronfaure with Yue (I don't think he was playing Yue though...) one of Sori's many characters and I think Kikaro. We were killing everything and I somehow got to level 5 where Sori taught me how to make a Provoke macro. It was totally weird but so much fun at the same time. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was great. I think I'll always think of this whenever I hear the Ronfaure music. I also remember my first party. As far as first parties go, it wasn't that bad. However I was asked to pull and being the complete idiot I was back then, I actually run up to monsters and swung with my sword, then proceeded to run BACKWARDS while locked on to pull! Haha, I totally remember the guys explaining how I should pull. It was by coincidence that I had earlier brought a bow and arrows to mess around with. >.> What other good memories? Oh yeah, I remember how much of a bitch Genkai 1 was. The amount of times I went into Eldieme Necropolis with a FULL alliance needing the item and to come away after 4 hours of death, bitching, fighting and frustration with only ONE person getting one was insane. I remember almost quitting because it became such a pain for me. Luckily, I recall either Yue or Mas (or maybe both?) taking pity on me and asking one of their high level friends to help me after about my 10th attempt on my own. I don't remember it taking very long, but this was probably my big "first" moment of joy in the game with actually achieving something. Speaking of which, how could I forget the fun times in the static? I think me, Yue and Norfy absolutely dominated the 30-50 run that our 3 man static did. Me being WAR, Norfy as his DRK and Yue as WHM. Those were some good times. What else? How about all the aimless messing around we did just as a LS? We may not have done as much as others, but we sure did have a good time just chilling in Jeuno, or killing random things in some random place; or discussing Norfy's big sword.... Damn, I could go on and on. I haven't even scratched the surface yet. I still remember the Shadow Lord run, mine and Yue's first Promyvion alliance, the Rank 3 Dragon, Jungle Gob Smithy's causing mayhem EVERYWHERE, extreme mining in Ifrit's Cauldron, us all doing the ZM missions.... There's so much to remember, so I thought I would jog all your memories too. I knew I shouldn't have listened to it, but damn. It was fun thinking about everything we got up to.

The first year was good, but the last one was better. I knew the controls, and was familiar with the area. I made a Dejibo Hume, and was VERY happy. she had a blue chocobo, and had a mog house full of toys, and tools, and gardens and knew how to use them. She was popular, and worked hard to build an amazing foundation under her. Then...visual issues from MS made it impossible to play. If you cannot read the words on the screen, and cannot slow them down long enough to see what is being said...you get folks killed. you get yourself killed. it became frustrating to have gotten so far, and done so much, only to have to turn it off. It made me very sad.
I am considering looking at FFXIV. dont know, but may look. Dont know if I can see that stuff either. I miss running around with that silly game. I sometimes see really pretty areas on TV and say "hey! that looks like Luftaisse meadow!" or "that looks like Jueno!" and then I remember...Oh yeah, it was just a game huh.
