You know you've played FFXI too much when you start thinking in /em motions. ><

My friend told me a joke the other day and after the punchline I said "backslash laugh, ell oh ell..." He kinda looked at me funny and said "Huh?" I just chuckled to myself thinking, *sigh* I really need to work out more cuz no girl is gonna ignore a "Eee em thinks you smell nice" without a good looking body. Its just way too creepy. lmao >< ~Aet

You've Played Too Much FFXI When...

-- when it's 6am and you can't believe people are getting tired of playing

-- when you wake up at 1pm and think "hey I got up early today"

-- when you start to actually care about what people think about you here in the forums despite your openness and honesty in letting them know that you are your own boss

-- when you hit the keyboard or mouse, like that would help.

-- when you start spelling "your" like it's a contraction but it's shorter so that makes it ok.

-- when you know you should get some coffee but heavens forbid you let down the party with "another" afk message

-- when you take showers only "sometimes"

-- when you upgrade your service to Extreme DSL for $20 more a month because "you don't need Cable like you need your FFXI!"

...upon getting excited about something you start doing the "Tarutaru Dance" IRL.

...you tell your fellow employee's at work that you're going A.F.K.

...you start thinking your character is looks fat from eating so many sweets.

You play too much FFXI when you buy Gil with your daddy's Credit card (Navan) and then come online just to lose that gil to my casino. ^^

1. When you spend over $2k of RL money to buy a laptop and a wireless router just so you never have to actually stop playing. Hell I've even learned how to hit my macros while walking around my house. ^^

2. When your RL friends are actually planning on doing an intervention.

When you are playing something like "Champions of Norrath" or "Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance", and you can't seem to hit the target... and instincively try to cast Absorb-AGL. (It's a Dark Knight thing.)

When you stare at the screen for a moment, and then begin to get worried because, damn it, your tail is unarmored-- don't these crafters ever bother to take that into account?

When you are at a friends house, remember that the Next Summerfest isn't THAT far off... and start to eye his goldfish tank speculatively.

When you start to judge local high school football teams by equipment, and suggest that the Panther's losing streak is mainly because their armor is gimped.

When at the food court in the local mall you suggest that we should get the Gyro plate instead of a burger because the bonuses are better.

When you find yourself actually responding to this thread... ><;

lol Thank you kramer, I figured no one likes casino's but if im winning gil off that ***, and making him not play the game, its probably better for all of us. I might be an ***, but i dont buy gil/sell gil scam or w/e the hell Navan does. I just speak my mind and that gets me in trouble lol.

When you have a refresh cycle constantly running in your head, even when you sleep.(guilty)

When watching a live preformance from a band, you ask if they could recast ballad.

When you can mimic every punch of raging fists for real.(guilty again)

When you see a knife show on a shopping channel and note that arid daggers are so much better in the off hand.

When you get hit by a car and yell at your friend for not provoking.

When your watching a bruce lee film, and say "My mnk could kick bruce lee's ***."

When you try and feed your plants around the house crystals.

When your in a woodshop class and you ask your teacher where the wind crystals are.

....you act out your custom emote/motions in real life. (cursed kick *** Celebration dance....)

....you actually respond when your friends jokingly call you by your characters name instead of your real name ><'

....you call up your friends just to tell them about your amazing accomplishments in FFXI, even though they don't give a flying rats a$$

Okay, straight up, you know you've played a little too much FFXI when, out of absolute lvling frenzy, you try to decide whether you will go to school as Dark Knight or Dragoon.

Not bad enough for you? Try further arguing about the various benefits of armor choices for the upcoming English test. I really should wake up before I think of assaulting poor creatures with a large piece of metal.

I thought this thread deserved a second chance, so I have decided to post some of my "Moments" that has proved that Hours In FFXI > Hours Outside FFXI.. ^^

- When you make the sound effects for Vorpal Blade while farming Goobbues in Rollanberry Fields.

- Accidently spamming macros outside of FFXI.

- Constantly typing "/l" while talking to others.

- Telling all your friends at school (Who have no clue what your talking about.) How much trouble you had finding the Treasure Coffer in Eldime Necropolis.

- Skilling up Cooking Skill by tossing Pizza Pops in the micro-wave.

- Imitating the animation for White Magic and Black Magic spells outside of FFXI ; ;

Just to list a few XD Have fun.. ^^

When you ask for melon juice instead of orange juice wiht your eggs and toast.

When you see a cop on the side of the road, and wonder if hes gonna agro you.

When your watching Survivor, and say "Yeah i would have much rather been in that "Other" Party" if i was him".

When you tell your boss your gold fish is on fire, so you cant come to work. Then laugh and say i was only jokeing, ill grab my choco now and come in.
