thistlechaserFFXI is a little like Las Vegas: With no clock displayed, you have no idea how long you've been playing. (You can check the time with a command, but I'm used to using the time in the corner of the screen to track how long I've been online.) I started playing at about 6:30 this morning, and stopped just now, about 10:30. That's... *counts* 16 hours! Wow. I'm very tired, I think I've been on edge for most of those hours! (I did log off twice, but I was gone less than one hour total.)
I'm at level five now (a third of the way to level six), and I died once. BAH! Stupid goblins! I could have taken one, but then two others rushed in and in all my fumbling I couldn't get away from them before they took me down. Bah. Oh well.
On the other side of the coin, I had a lot of fun randomly healing people who were in battles. Most of them were so thankful! And amusingly, twice while I was looking for people to heal, people healed me! Hee. (No one raised me after I died though. This wasn't surprising, as it was a low level area.)
Very, very tired. Forced myself to log off. Here are a couple of screenshots though. (I still haven't figured out how to make them save larger files. I'm 99% sure it can be done, I just haven't figured it out yet... like so many other things in the game! Heh. There's no learning curve to this thing, it's a learning cliff*.)
Where's the best place to hide when someone's trying to make rabbit stew out of you?
The weather, sun, time, and shadow effects are beautiful! (That's *not* the best screenshot ever -- I'm always stuck in the middle of trees when the sun rises/sets.)
See why I hate fish? ;) Or: The most violent fish ever!
* I didn't make that line up, I borrowed it from someone who I can't recall now.
