Danyu's Last Adventure. Another Goodbye Thread.Follow

I had that feeling. The feeling that seems to seep through your skin, through the tissue, creeping into your bones. It clenched onto my stomach. I felt it a little over a month ago. Its the feeling that tells you you're burnt. You're done with this or that. I wanted to keep playing the game, but the feeling grew stronger. I was truly burnt out.

I had to do something to counter it. I figured it was time for a break. I told my fellow LSers that I was going to be gone. "How long?" I didn't know how long. I just knew that it needed to take a break of some sort. "Why are you going to be gone?" I told them it was Real Life stuff. I wasn't necessarily lying, I was just cutting off the truth. Things happen in Real Life that just kept calling for me to leave the game. But I truly just wanted a break.

One full month. It passed. I logged in, and thought that I might be refreshed. I thought maybe the feeling went away. I was wrong. This was the same night that some friends, Orikenus, Cazic, Bronwyn, Kyoto, Cyb, and some others helped me get a papy. This was my third time trying to get one and by the end of the night I finally lotted on it. I was thrilled that I was finally able to get past level 50, but that feeling...was still there.

That was when I knew. There was no turning back. I could either keep playing while not truly having fun, or I could do the thing that, in my opinion show the most respect to my fellow players; I decided to quit on good grounds. Look back, and ask yourself. Would you like to quit on a good moment, or a bad moment? Thats what I did.

A few things that I wanted to do before I leave. First, I wanted people to know that I'm leaving. I've lost so many friends in this game who just never log on anymore. They never said a single goodbye. I tried to sell off some gear, but some of it took too long. (Told ya I'd pay ya back whether you like it or not Orikenus. hehe) I split it among some very good friends that I've been with since the beginning. All of them, not surprisingly were the same people who came to help me with my papy. I'm not rich (at all), I was able to hand each of them 100k or the amount in value of items.

Out of nowhere, Kyoto, Bronwyn, Cyb and I decided to spend my last moments at Bibiki Bay. I've never been there before. I had a blast. It took some time, but we were able to reach that separate island. The sun rised behind us, and the group took pictures. I was wearing a nice santa hat, and being my cool self as usual. Kyoto was all pimped-out in redmage gear. Bronwyn was being a thf, and Cyb - was being Cyb :)

I know the LS that I made won't survive, and I deeply apologize to all those who had a part in it. I know most people have spares, but for those who don't, I wish them to find an LS that was a 100 times better then one you could wish for yourself. For those I made promises to help them in the future with a particular mission or to going exping, I apologize. To you especially Taleira, I still haven't met too many people that would just randomly help out a level 15 newbie warrior in the middle of giddeus with Rank 3. People like that, are what make this game great.

I had dreams for this game that won't ever be met, but thats okay with me. I had a dream to tank a god. I had a dream to wear full AF. I had a dream to solo those damn yags in the quicksands. But I had other dreams that I never accounted for, dreams that happened before I knew they were dreams.

I had my own Linkshell. This sort of happened on purpose, yet it didn't, but nonetheless, I was happy with the people that were apart of it. I had friends; these friends broke the laws of game physics for me. I did Eco-War. I did bastok's and windurst's. Hehe. I hear from a lot of people they don't even attempt to do Ecos, which is a shame because its a chance to really get to meet some people whether you accomplished the quest or not.

After the dreams, after the thoughts, as my char stood out in bibiki bay, the sun began to set. It was beautiful. I haven't been even close to seeing everything in the game, but please guys, you have to check out this place if you haven't yet. I attacked some random nearby mobs, and let them release their fury on me. In a matter of a few minutes, my char ate the dirt, and my adventures on FFXI were at an end, and I turned off my PS2 without the care of logging out.

Bye my friends, you know who you are. Bye to the people who I partied with. Bye people who I only know from the forum. Bye to those people who sent me random /tells. Bye people who were dumb and did dumb /shouts.

I will miss you guys more than you know. :) Please keep playing for your fun.

And yes, I was really tired when I typed this, give me a break. :P

This will most likely be my last post on Allakhazam.

Goodbye Alla.

Goodbye Danyu, you may not remember me, that's ok.

I too am feeling that i will be leaving vanadiel soon, i've had the same feeling for awhile now, and after a short break it remains, i think that very soon i will be giving my closest ls friends some very nice, very expensive gifts before i say goodbye.

Well then take care friend, good luck in RL and your char will be missed, I may quit also, once I have accomplished everything I wanted to of course: Get full Drk AF, get Guillotine, and do it without leveling a thf or sam for a sub.
