You enjoying Horizon XI? XI is a big blind spot for me in the series and I'd like to check it out eventually.

I played ffxi retail way back in 04/05 but quickly moved onto other things, so horizon really hits the sweet spot for me since it's that era of the game.

it's fun, about 2k players online at 8pm est on any night. everyone's really friendly and helpful, way more than when the game launched even. but the game is a different beast than modern mmo's, and even different that mmo's of the age.

a lot of care and focus was put on the game to, by design, make you team up with others, and make everything, like literally eveything, require effort. there's very, very limited fast travel and basically none to start until you're at lvl 20. monsters that seem "like a decent challenge" are a legit coin flip if you'll win or they will. the maps are huge. the gameplay is turn based rpg, but in mmo.

the entirety of the game is played with at least one menu up on screen, usually 2. it simultaneously plays extremely chill (grind low lvl mobs while surfing the web/watching tv) but also is extremely intense (high lvl mob aggros you and you have to run off the map or they'll kill you). deaths make you lose exp, you can level down. its just...its different. it's really, really enjoyable though, for me at least.

as horizon xi, it's free, so won't hurt to try it out. shoot me a msg if you do end up giving it a whirl.

Thank you! I don't think I can handle two MMOs at once, but I definitely think I'll check it out when I'm finished with the FFXIV MSQ

That's an old piece of queer lore: a carabiner is an essential lesbian accessory. You wear it on your belt loop and it acts as a signal as well.

40% of these will certainly happen, so your fear is legit. 7% will certainly NOT happen. The remainder remains to be seen. I'm sorry you're feeling all this fear, it sucks.

Hope your doing alright Mike, V. Sorry if things are looking a bit crummy for you right now.

No one’s life is all plain sailing, which sounds insensitive, except that I mean to say I think everyone fears more than they need to, especially when your younger and the future is unknown of course. It’s one of the few benefits of getting older, I think. It gives you some perspective (and some regrets which replace fears maybe). That doesn’t sound hopeful, but it is. As you get older, life isn’t a mystery anymore.

And yes, I typed the wrong “you’re”. That’s the kind of thing that keeps me awake at night now! I might go have a warm milk.

I too have now realised I've used the wrong "you're". But I'm going to do the stereotypically English thing and have a cup of tea instead.
