Well, I’m having trouble sleeping and decided to make this post.
After my last post about being off for a month, temptation got the best of me and I signed up for a 14-day trial.
I can admit that there have been many changes since I last really paid attention, and most of them have been for the better. In only a few days I’m already level 14 and have my subjob items. My gear is still total crap, as it took just about all of the money I had managed to accumulate (a vast sum of 7K) to buy the basic armor. Oh and I accidentally found a check box in the config which will disable your sound. And then I somehow unchecked this box.
I’m playing with some people who I got to know from WoW. I have to admit, this is the first time in a while I’ve really said that I need to go reactivate Pyra now.
At the same time, its quite sad that my friend from WoW (who is a THF in FFXI) far outgears my own THF, even though he had stopped playing a year or so before I did. They are quite a good group of people. Maybe I can convince them to move to Caitsith.
It is, however, disappointing that the friend to whom I loaned my WHM account to has decided to sell some of my old items and keep the money. The account was loaned so he could PL himself and run a salvage group with 1 less person. He was also free to use the crafting skills or use the character to farm with as much as he wanted. I don’t even mind that he made money in the server transfer (our original deal was that he could transfer the account to his server, but would pay to transfer it to a server of my choosing when I took the account back). But not to sell the items and keep the money, at least not yet. Especially when he asked me if he could sell it and I said ‘no’. At least he didn’t unsign my gear.
It really was my fault. I knew how he is and I let him use the account anyway. Oh well, if all I lose out of this is a few items I wasn’t really using even when I still played, I’m doing well, and in reality, all I know for sure that he sold was my Uggalepih Pendant (which is worth 700K on Diabolos and only 480K on Caitsith) and some misc crafting materials that I wasn’t able to sell.
