Mine was FFXI ; ; I played for about 3 years, Got BLM to level 70, didn't do any endgame stuff (I'm a really slow leveler ok >.>) but then I ended up getting bored. I didn't really wanna have to completely commit to endgame stuff, and leveling definitely isn't as fun at high levels, specially when you can't get a party very easily >.> OH! I beat Maat though. I was pretty happy about that. (So if I ever wanted to go back I wouldn't have to do that >.>)

I think I'll always be addicted to Earthbound though, I'll still go back and play that even when I have new games to play.

P.S. What server were you on Twesterm? I was on Remora^^;


I was on Alexander and on one of the best NA linkshells in the server. I met the leaders in the Maze when we were all first starting and just stayed friends with them from then until I finally quit for good.

And yeah, definitely know about what you're talking about where leveling can get a little tedious.  Luckily not a lot of people know how to play SMN well so that gave me the excuse to try a lot of different play styles and have a lot of fun with the job.  It was a lot of fun when I hit 70 and started doing all SMN parties or being invited to normal parties as a damage dealer.   

Ohh, I had pretty much the same thing happen except all the people I met in the beginning quit before me lol. I met some new people though and it all worked out. I still talk to some of them^^

I think I was in like, the most hated endgame linkshell on Remora, maybe even over multiple servers, not sure. I wasn't really too involved, but it was fun listening to all the drama and stuff.

Oh yeah, I've only met like, one good SMN and a bunch who sucked and thought they were good 'cause they made it to high levels. They thought they were better than everyone else in the party >.> SMN seemed like a fun job though, I didn't get to far with it, and I wasn't looking forward to being a healer through the dunes and Qufim, maybe that's why I didn't take it further.

I Honestly loved DRG, My brother and I Duo'd up until like, level 56 or so. (I kinda forgot >.>) and it was really nice not having to find a party. I got so tired of waiting on my BLM that we'd just go out and murder some stuff as DRG. Good times.

Ugh, levels 1-50 just weren't a lot of fun for SMN because I was a gimped healer that everyone expected to be just as good as a WHM. Luckily after that I finally at least had Raise, I could finally start decently keeping a party alive, and could even solo.

And people gave DRG (loldrg) a lot of crap but I like them.  When you're a healer you generally have a good idea who's doing a good amount of damage and how often and DRG's generally did a good amount of damage.  The only that pissed me off about DRG's is when they would heal theor  damn wyvern at the worst possible times (or there were undead near).

Yeah, I've heard a lot about SMN having to heal, and it makes me wonder who came up with the idea that SMN could heal just as well as WHM. I mean sure, they have MP, but when you can't cast fast enough to keep them healed what can you do >.>

Ok, I have to admit, I've done that healing my wyvern at a bad time thing before, but never in a party. I played WHM for a while, and I know it's pretty hard, so I'm usually careful not to do anything myself that'd make it harder^^; I've died because of my wyvern healing though. lol, I always feel stupid after too >.> Duo'ing DRG got really nice after 50 due to getting Raise though. As long as both of us didn't do something stupid we could get back up and start fairly quickly. We also learned that EXP rings and Reraise stuff are like, the best items in the game.

I get addicted to games real easy, sometimes for a short time but other game are much longer.

I close my eyes and see flaming axes flying at an Egyptian temple.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I am currently addicted to Mario Kart Wii. The game that addicted me the most ever was GoldenEye. The multi-player game was like crack.

DDR for me. It's gotten so bad I don't even play any other game anymore, which is sad. :(

Horribly addicted to FFXI for about a year, then less so to WoW for a while.. so yeah I avoid mmorpgs like the plague now, as it's nice spreading my time out a bunch among different hobbies instead of focusing on just one thing. Though playing those games was a lot cheaper I guess.. $13-15 per month instead of the stuff I buy now :(

morrowind i am in level 150 or so without cheating it took my a year to complete that game.

FF9 played through the whole game 6 times
