FFXI can't die...it just can't...my son has been begging me to let him play (and my daughter too for that matter) but I've been telling them they aren't allowed to play until they are 13 (they are 10 and 8 currently) So it can't die...I want them to play too...come on what could be cooler (aka nerdier) then a whole family: Mom, Dad, Son, Daughter, playing FFXI together? Of course my children will porbably become elitests and never actually speak to me in game but I'm choosing to ignore that and go with the fantasy...
This is gonna sound SUPER nerdy but my husband and I use FFXI as our "dates" we make plans to do stuff a couple of times a week and we do it...so much cheaper then going out these days...
We're not like those people you hear about on the news that are so addicted to their MMO that they never do anything else...we have RL friends and we hang with them, we cook, clean, work, raise the kids, watch TV/movies, mow the lawn, trim the lilacs, weed the flowerbeds, play outside with the kids, you know, that kind of thing...but, in the middle of the night when he can't sleep because he's a night owl and I can't sleep because I'm crazy we play ffxi, I mean really, what else is there to do? We've already done everything else through out the day you know?
Anyway, if FFXI ever does die, I will be sad, The husband and I have put oh man when did this game release in the US?? 8 or 9 years ago?? anyway we've put THAT long into this game and it's pretty much kept us sane, and even taught us how to communicate better (albeit rather nerdily)...
Late nights will suck if this game dies :(
Anyway...yeah.
