GIANT GIL GIVEAWAYFollow

#1 Dec 09 2004 at 5:12 PM Rating: Default
Well as real life goes on, I'm very much considering quitting the game for the 2nd time >< . I've spent the last month pretty much watching the Casino thing get way outta hand, and i feel partly responsible. People please...I emplore you, just to let u all know the major casinos have been making millions off of you for quite some time now. Being that I rarely do the Casino anymore Im starting to understand why it annoyed so many people. People like Mistah spends 15hrs a day raping people of their gil. I did the same for a long time. So for one I wish that everyone stops gambling because if people stop , then it will go away. Second if i do quit, which i should decide in the next upcoming weeks, Im going to give my gil away. Rather then sell my account or something I'm going to give back to the community. If someone comes up with a really good idea or reason as to why the need or deserve the gil, I will consider it and get back to them If i do quit. Please dont get mad if i dont end up quitting, and giving away all my gil lol. But the future will tell. If u dont want to post on the forums, you may just send me a /tell in game and let me know what you think. Ok thank you for listening ^^

Hellkid - we PT'ed once or twice before, and I know you are/were in EK for a while too.

It's nice to know that you see things in a different light. I don't gamble so Casino's have always been annoying to me by their spams, but since I've /blisted a bunch it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't really care about Casino's as it's not my problem that some idiot is getting raped by Casinos. People who are betting I'm sure have gil to burn anyways (or at least I hope so).

I think you just feel a little lonely perhaps, because maybe you lost friends for running a casino? Perhaps people don't respect you? I don't know what the reason is, but there is still lots of opportunities to make up for the Casino business or ways to gain respect back from others.

Helping out lowbies with Missions, Quests, AFs. Volunteering to do BCNMs...things like that. Try to remember the times when you wanted help from others so badly but no one will help you...then offer to help others that are in that situation now. :) I don't think...giving money away would solve anything. It'll just create rich n00bs. (Believe me...I've seen them in the Dunes @@) If you don't want to PT - use that money and level up crafting. You can further help your friends this way by offering to make them the things they need for a long time, instead of just dropping gil.

No reason to quit. You've adventured all the way to lvl 66. Take pride in that.

Hey im just a poor war/nin on shiva! I could use some of that gil when you get rid of it!

No seriously, you should keep playing shiva needs high lvl ppl who arent complete asshats. We are running low on those lately.
#5REDACTED, Posted: Dec 09 2004 at 6:15 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) damm uchipu you totally missed my point. I dont think any respectable person could get depressed/lonely blah blah blah playing a game. Thats pretty pathetic, I was just trying to be nice, and thought instead of making a few hundred dollars by selling my account I could give back to the community instead of becoming a gil-seller, whom I've always hated. Thats all lol, Im quitting game mostly because I have too much to do in the Real World which is about 99999999 times more important then this stupid game.

im a DRK whos most expensive thing i own is a royal gaurd collar ,weither u give me gil or not it doesnt really matter because ill still go on, as for casinoes, if ppl wanna toss theyre gil away its up to them, u dont wanna hear the shouts? blist and forget about it, its not like they r doing anything immoral, the ppl r giving them the money of the chance of a radomizer, its not like real casinoes where the dice or wheels r rigged. and as for u quiting, i might of seen u once or twice in passing and while i dont know u personaly, all are missed once they r gone, well thats my 2 cents <ps im not a casinoe, i just watch both sides of the dispute>

You don't know me at all. But I'll accept any and all donations. I'd be good for it if you came back too ><;; I'd just rather not part with it lol.

EDIT: A good reason, eh? How about I'm in a similar boat with you about the game. I don't care to waste my time with it. So donations would keep me from doing so.

And I'm a thief that has best gear costing millions more than many other jobs ;)

Sounds more to me like you want someone to hold onto your stuff for a while.

lol.... hellkid quitting?? Riiigghtt.

(just so everyone know, i work with Hellkid in RL. and i hate my life cause of him....... lol j/k)
(and on a side note: it was hellkid that got me hook on this game > <)

i been with hellkid when he quit for the first time, when he was a lvl 55ish elv drk. and after 6 months or so, he join FFXI cause it was too addicting. and he couldnt resisted. now for the second time, he will be quitting as a lvl 65ish taru blm.
Anyone see a pattern to this??

you all guess it, after several months, he'll feel the pull of FFXI, and he'll join the ranks of FFXI again, probably as a mithra/ galka/ or hume, in a different class... and maybe this time, he'll lvl that character to 75.

LOL ^^



and after that, he'll quit for several more months... join FFXI again ( is this the third or the fourth time?? lol XD ) and maybe take a class to 75 and another class to 55......
(by then, SE would probably raise the bar from 75 to 85ish to maybe 100)
(we can only hope^^)

So, overall, this will be an endless loop for hellkid.... he'll never completely break away from FFXI, just like his smoking/drinking/gambling habits. ^^

What do you have to say to that, HK?

edit: the sad thing is, he been lvling like there no tomorrow... getting to 65 blm in like 2 months.... while i'm still in the lvl 56ish ranges and it been almost a year for me.... now that sad
(of course, i been experimenting in 3-4crafts, and 2 jobs in the 56ish, all else, in the 1-25 ranges)

From what i hear, u are a great player and i dont see any reason for u to quit!
But, if u decide to, hears my reason. my highest lvl is a 30 thf. second highest is my 10 war, followed by my 5 DRK. I am total broke, never been over 12k at one time. Kara (a mihtra) and i have decided to get married for the fun of it, and seeing as both of us can never get any money, we cant get married. She walks around most of the time with only a Lether Vest on and thats the only thing ive ever seen her wear. If u give me the gil, ill get her new equipment, the wedding, and possibly (if theres any left over) buy myself something.

But seriously, if i were u i wouldnt ever delete my Char.
#14REDACTED, Posted: Dec 10 2004 at 11:22 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well after some talking to some of my friends online in game last night for now im going to quit. I couldnt leave game knowing theres good guys out there, that I want to continue to stay in contact with, and the best way is to stay in the game. I hope everything goes according to plan Rabbai, I guess you will be letting me know today ^^. But I've also decided if I was too quit, I would split my gil between people who have helped me most in game. LOL rabbai would probably get like 5 million, hes spent countless hours helping my ***. And of course my friends from SOB, you guys know who you are. And probably some for that punk Darkflare lmao.

How sad, quitting now? why not wait until you hit 75 and have Rank10? Huh? then its like you completed the game. Eh? Or even.....>.> Rank 10 in all nations XD. Thats kinda cool giving your gil out like that, but keep some on your character at least, in case you decide to stay no? Oh if you dont mind, can you please send some gil to me? Lv 65 whm with no erase, kinda sad >< /slap me for it too, but...heh i have to support blm with gil so i was never able to get erase ><. But keep that in mind, dont quit till you're lv 75 and rank10 =^.^=

Hellkid, despite meeting many fun people along my year of FFXI, I don't know if i'll ever return. I am glad that gil sellers are being dealt with though, that was a major issue for me being the sniper ring wannabe melee I was.

But, I'm playing WoW now with koci, imfour, and a bunch of r/l friends from my hometown.

So that'd be like 30 bucks a month in MMO bills.

Keep in touch HK.

if you quit please dont send your gil to me, im nearing the max capacity and it would just create more problems thank you.

If you do decide to quit for good, why not go out with a bang. buy one fairly good item for each job class, advertize for 1 hour in lower jueno that you will be giving that item out if someone can answer the question you make in /shout correctly and have a question for each job so there are a couple lucky people that get some stuff. ^^

Go to one of the town AHs, not jeuno, select some kinda cheap easy to find crystal, like a single earth, or an easy to get item in the area, like a insect wing in windy or a rabbit hide in sandy. and spend it all on that so some newb gets it all.

Do a /sea all (whatever) and do eenie meenie miney mo, and send your money to that person

Or do it to the people asking for money in this thread

Other than that, give it out to peeps you know or buddies or something. I dun really have anything creative, not when you can't just toss the money into the middle of lowjeuno so people start killing themselves.
