Yes, I DO INDEED LIVE for all of you who I usually only kept in touch with on here. To be honest I'm quite surprised how many people kept me on their friend list o_O. I haven't updated this thing in forfreakingever...so I guess I'll sum up my life, to an extent ^^.

"At this point I should probably mention that you know your friends have your best interest at heart, right? They think they're doing the right thing... but fuck guys, it's not time for an ultimatum. That's going overboard. It's time for support, not drama."

First off please don't blur my response with Mitch's. I dont feel an ultimatium is the proper way to handle this it wouldnt' be fair to make someone elses choice for them. Second i'm not shooting for drama.

I know your a great buddy of Jim's, hell he's traveled many a mile to come visit. But the point is you don't see him as often as us and see what is happening. Blatenly saying that the game isn't causing his depression is just being dillusional. It may not be the actual game of FFXI, but the fact that anything that you spend over 2000 hours playing, in 6 months is not healthy for you. They are other things that are contributing to his depression but before they are solved the game needs to be eliminated. Hoef was never like this before FFXI. He was always online doing something productive like writing in this very LJ, or working vigorously in photoshop or on our old website.

All of the decisons Jim has ahead of him our his and his alone. I merely want to guide him in a way that I believe is in his best interest. Some of the hardships in his life right now are not even his own fault. But they are being abandoned.
