Introductions… I was never good at these.

Well, for starters, this is a blog about my character on FFXi named Atemfulten, on the Bismarck server. I’m a Hume, naturally struggling in a somewhat successful journey to become a known (or, really, accomplished) player on my server.

But I think I’m going to hop right into this blog. No point in introductions when eventually, I think you might end up knowing me better from my posts than my introduction. So, that said, eyes closed… Let’s go.

FFXI

This week has been interesting. Well, “interesting”, really. My friend’s linkshell (of which I was a member), Shadowoftheday, merged with CelestialDreams, my friends’ friend’s linkshell. It seemed as though I was one of the few who actually wanted it, others in the linkshell seemed unaffected. It’s a shame, I figured it’d give us a kick in the ass to get things going, but even now some of the members are considering stopping play. I guess I should note that most of us had played previously and are coming back after a couple years break, and suddenly three of the closer friends of mine haven’t really broken into full-fledged FFXi yet… And a lurking reason inside me has me thinking they most likely won’t.

I have aspirations in FFXi that are taking far longer than anticipated to acquire. In terms of leveling goals, gil goals, and linkshell goals, each of which have pretty much fallen through or taken flight in other directions. I suppose now is the time to take action in an attempt to maybe get things off the ground. I don’t like the “stuck in a rut” straight-line situation my FFXi career has me bent on, and it might just be time for that to change.

Wish me luck.
