I'm QuittingFollow

Good luck Jack, we'll miss you. Thanks for the FAQ and all of the advice you've given on the forums.

To be fair, FFXI had good synergy in normal fights, you had to time your abilities with other people in order to maximize your damage output which I thought was pretty cool. Also, I definately learned how to dodge Aggro after all the running through high level areas with mobs that could one-shot me. It also teaches you how to group very early in the game, cause *****-ups get punished hard.

And like I said earlier, I'm still gonna stick around on the forums. So I can keep getting my WoW fix.

Tanks are always the first to die :)

I used to play FFXI... Taru DRG baby! Just the image of a taru flying through the air trying to whack a mob on the head with a polearm was just too amusing to pass up.

Oh yes. I remember. FFXI, the premier Wallhugging simulator. The first run from San'Doria to Windy was definitely an experience.



I have different memories of Valkurm here. Quite different. Ended up as a beastmaster because I enjoyed the experience so much.

I quit last month and if all goes well i'll have a pretty nice paying job next week. WoW is still on my machine, but i needed to pull my head out of my **** till i sorted things out proper.

Ha ha ha ha... All this talk about FFXI. Friend of mine actually talked me into coming back to that game after I gave up WoW. I guess I outlasted most of you by letting my account run for two weeks, but it shouldn't really count since I only played a couple hours spread out over a couple days. The game's just too damn inconvenient.

I really don't think there's any MMO I'll be able to play aside from WoW anymore. For all the grief we all give Blizzard on a constant basis, it's still far and away the best product out there.

Honestly, I just need a break. My classes are hard this semester (Social Science Statistics pwns my ***), and this past summer I really rode the game hard. I'm burnt out. Any spare time I do happen to find I've been spending trying to get through an impressive library of never-completed console RPG's. Remember kids, that's what we old folks called "altoism" before MMO's.

I'll be back eventually. You're in denial if you think you won't be. Maybe it'll be 2.3. Maybe it'll take as long as the release of the next expansion. But we all come back eventually.

Hi I understand why you are quitting. I did so myself a half year ago, I took a 3 month break. After my return I raidet a couple of months, and came to the same conclution as you, that the hunt for minor upgrades and the farming for reputation (daylies) just got borring. So now I just play all casual like with my paladin - when I have the time for it.

I just cam across this post...HOLY CRAP...*sigh* why do people announce that they are quitting? if your really quitting and moving on to other aspects of your life, then stop posting and do it...SHEESH...*sigh* pet peeve of mine i guess :)

A lot of people ask me for advice and I feel that it's necessary for me to let them know that I'm not currently playing the game. It's a big deal for me, so instead of a ding thread or a "Oh look I got this" thread, it's a "Hey I won't be playing anymore" thread. It's one topic out of a million, and it aint hurtin anybody.

So to quote Dil.... shoo.

Thanks for all the help CapJack. I'm sure we all appreciate it. Goodluck on sorting things out in RL. Once again, that is much more important. I'm kind of on the flipside of the coin. I'm looking to get back into WoW after being gone for about 6 months the second I get my affairs all in order. I will be starting a Paladin on my brother's server where my brother apparently has a 70 Rogue already :P
