As i sit here alone, in my basement this christmas night, i begin to think, think back to when i had first got final fantasy XI. How it's gone from being connected to my tower, to a router so i can sit comfortably in my room, but sitting here made me think back, way back.
I sit and remember, my first vana di'el day, how my only goal was to find a friend, and the first i made, Verseone. The one who helped me so much, even when times looked grim, Geno. And the inspiration i caused in one person alone, to follow my example, and help others when they needed it, Fouldeception.
It reminded me, of some of the best memories i've had, and the people i've met, some who stayed, some who never said goodbye, but i don't focus on that, i focus on the fun we shared, and the things we helped each other with.
As i sit here alone, i think to myself why do i do it, why do i play, and remember my inspiration, are my friends that i've made, the people i help, who in return help back however they can, just for a simple thank you.
So i'd like to thank, anyone that i've met positivly for helping me, and in return being my friend, even if its just a simple act as telling me where to go, it means a lot.
So, think back today, on this special day, to the people who helped you throughout the way, if they still play say thanks, and if they dont, just remember, all the fun and good times you had together.
....wow....err that last paragraph wasnt spose to rhyme...

Just a little thought.Follow
that's sweet. happy holidays. ^^
I sometimes try and relive the feeling that i had when i first started FFXI. The first time i said {Hello!} in my Linkshell... or the first time i laid there face down with 3 gob's dancing on me. (lol) But the only really way i can is to help someone else. I wouldn't be where i am now without the help of my LS mates.
Thanks to everyone!
Thanks to everyone!
shep... i'd thank you for countless times you've helped me(and my brother and my nephews and my friends from RL) but according to you, you've done nothing... so i cant thank you for doing nothing...
now with that out of the way...
thx for helping me on n00b hill in north gust when the gobs really wanted to taste my galkan blood...
thx for buying me my first set of armor...
thx for teaching me what a macro is and how to use them...
thx for teaching me how to get a party and what my role is(though i thought you were nuts when you told me that as a WAR, my job is to keep the mob on me, letting it beat me down, as i depend on some stranger to keep me alive.. yes... i was an awful n00b)
thx for consistanly checking up on me and seeing if i need help with anything else(though i think it's kinda freaky when i'm in a PT and i see you there out of no where just staring at my galkan body)
thx for for the help in killing the dragon
thx for getting 16 people who were levs 40-60 from some other LS to help with my SAM quest(still dont know how that worked out)
thx for the help with rank 4 missions
thx for hanging out with me so i can solo stuff to reach lev 25 last night with my PLD when my PT broke up when i had only 160tnl
thx for...
jeez.... do i really have to list everthing?
shep... you're right... i have had help with larger things from other people. however, when you're a lev 10 with no subjob and are clueless on your next step, someone holding your hand and getting you throuh the baby levs is help that's worth more than anything else simply because as a n00b, not many are really willing to help. once someone gets through the early phases, getting help is easy... i was able to put together an alliance of total strangers to do misison 3-3 in one hour.
fact is, without shep, i would have probably given up the game long ago. this being my first MMORPG, i was seriously lost. i would have never been the player i'm so proud of being at this moment. whenever i need help with something, he's there(and i dont ever ask). he also does this with other total strangers
shep... you're awesome... even if you're canadian. thx for everything bro... and merry christmas
