Suggestions Please, I Need A New Addiction!

Hi all,

As a few of you know I've been getting very bored with FFXI (I've not even logged in for 4 days) and am looking for a new addiction to replace it.

I've tried Destiny (Loved but got bored fast after alot of stuff was done)
FF14 - Don;'t even think about this game sucks.

Any other MMORPG style things that's a Major Grind? I miss this part of FFXI the most as it was a major grind to get to 75 originally (I played pre 65 cap with the JP's a little).

Any idea guys, I know this trend in gaming is out the window, But I'd like something to tide me over until DAI comes out in November 20th (EU)

Skyrim:The Elder Scrolls.

I tried the Beta and wasn't all that impressed, how is it these days?

Suggestions to fuel addiction needs~

-Lineage II
-Aion
-Minecraft
-ESO
-Rift
-or copious amounts of porn

Some awesome games on good old games at the moment, get a copy of these:
Dungeon Keeper
Dungeon Keeper II
Theme hospital
Roller coaster Tycoon

Those alone will keep you busy for a while.

Hmmmmmmm perhaps,,, This will be my backup plan

You want a grind and your profile says you have no mythics or relics? I don't understand, and there is an update in like 4 days lol. Anyways, I'm sure there are ton of Korean grindy games out there.

My profile for Conagh isn't linked properly ;) also not my main character, is a mule!

(beisdes a koga's in the works)

I like to grind because the grind is relevant, a Mythic isn't releveant to beat the EASY FFXI atm so as much as yeah its fun thing to get (which I am getting before I leave assuming the lolavatars update doesn't suck, which it will)

beisdes, Koga isn't much of a grind, its a short period to play each day :/

How many times you gonna quit and make a thread?

Never said I was quitting ~ said I needed a new addiction (because this one just isn't strong enough anymore).

Just because I upgrade doesn't mean I'll stop drinking coffee~ (its a similie.)

as many times as scotland wants freedom
follow Conagh @ScottishBeefBurger

Try sleeping, always so angry on vent :3

You clear Incursion 135+ with 0 mythic ?

You remembered!

Only managed 132, normally the healer sucks a *** or SCH can't stun for ***

You could try stepping outside, I hear a life is a pretty fulfilling addiction.

Mankind didn't spend generations perfecting inside if we wanted to go outside all the time.

Dark Souls 2.

I suggest BJJ

In the same boat. Wont give my reasons to avoid derailing.
Perhaps what you really need is a hobby. I've been trying out anything I can think of from scuba diving (never again, *** you fish) to painting. Nothing is filling the void. I might end up taking SE to court because not even frequent sex and parties is making me feel complete.

SE's not responsible for your personality disorder(s).

A jury of my peers would disagree.

ftfy, and it would have to go against pretty damning medical evidence to the contrary.

I have a rather full life, I just have insomnia, and I hate how sleeping tablets make me feel so I have hours of free time at night :/

I'm surprised WoW isn't on here. It gets a lot of hate for some reason, and Seige of Ogrimmar/Mists have been going on for awhile, but for a new player with the mindset of wanting to grind, there's endless things to do, and you can do them all solo.

Here's a little context from someone that played pretty hardcore from BC/Karazhan till the middle of WotLK, and has played on and off casually since then.

The first few rounds of leveling a character is fun (but I'll admit after you level a couple quests become pretty boring) - you don't just kill mobs endlessly, you level up by doing quests, and if you take the time to read the chat some of the quests are really well written.

Mostly talking about achievements, most of them are pointless but a lot of them give random rewards (pets/mounts/titles - gear is replaced pretty quickly in WoW so epeen revovles more around vanity items). For anyone with an addictive personality, achievements can be really fun.

There's loads of PVP to do. If all you want to do is PVP and not PVE, you can still get competitive (and in some cases better) gear and be able to focus entirely on that. PVP scales from battlegrounds with multiple people to rated battlegrounds that are more hardcore, to arenas that are 5vs5, 3vs3, and 2vs2.

It has a huge pet/pokemon type thing with hundreds of pets (ranging from really rare to super easy) to catch and level up. Again, there's a bunch of pet achievements that can be pretty fun.

There's loads and loads and loads of lore, and it entwines with every aspect of the game from questing to raiding. It's pretty cool if you're into that sorta thing.

If you want to get into endgame seriously, there's so many guilds/players out there it's generally pretty easy to get in as long as you aren't a terrible player. I won't get into endgame mechanics, but when I played seriously/hardcore(my guild was in the top 3 on the server) enjoyed it a lot. Achievements extend into raiding, and usually each set of raids/content has a set of achievements to do ranging from easy to massive pain in the ***, and in the end you get a mount, which is usually pretty rewarding. (Again with the vanity items and not gear brining in epeen).

If you don't want to or don't have the time to join a guild, they have a dungeon seeker thing for every available level of content. So you can seek and do current raids with a group that's matched by the system. Yes, sometimes people suck and the experience can suck, but in all the times I've gone it hasn't been that awful. Just for context, my 11 year old is able to do SoO and clear every boss in RaidFinder (and before anyone yells for letting my 11 year old play, he's pretty good dps wise and staying out of the fire wise, or else I wouldn't have let him go. In fact, he's generally better than most of the random DPS I've grouped with.).

All that being said, I found it's easier to burn out of wow than it was out of ffxi, just because there's always so much stuff to do and it can become pretty repetitive and overwhelming. However, had I stayed in competitive endgame instead of dropping out of my guild, I might've kept playing. Mists also sucked pretty bad, but the new ex-pac coming out in November looks really cool.


Sorry for the wall of text :3

Get a bachelor in a different field then if you feel imcomplete!
