About six months ago I decided that FFXI was sucking too much time from my life and I needed to be done with it. And to ensure that I wouldn't get sucked back in, I deleted my character and said I was done. But as you all can understand, I started to miss it a lot and wishing for a way to get back into the game without having to start out fresh. Now June 7 is on the horizon and I have my wish. So I'll be back on Ragnarok and ready to explore again.
Of course before I deleted my character, I gave away almost all of my sweet gear to some friends (and the good MNK gear isn't easy to get). So I'll be back, naked and penniless. I'm not going to expect my friends to hand back the gear - if they are even still on - or be looking for handouts. I know how the game works, and I'll just be doing a lot of farming to start.
I'll be looking for a new LS too. If I remember correctly, I was a 48 mnk/24 war before I killed him. Name is Solus. See you all soon.
