The Spectacular Failure
Remember that one time I got real busy with life and stopped logging onto FFXI, and the very day I decide to come back on I come on in the middle of some sort of SymbiosisX meltdown? When the officers all decided they had deep-rooted hatreds for eachother and their arguments had to destroy the entire shell? And the the entire shell was broken because of it? I remember that.
Yeeeaahhh...
Getting straight answers at WHY everyone had apparently been fighting over the past week or so was like trying to get water from a stone. Apparently Phacia (linkshell leader)'s girlfriend was made an officer, and some people didn't like this person and called out what a bad job she was doing. And something about Franz being the new leader. And something about Chard leaving the shell and people deciding it was okay to leave at that point. Long story short, Phacia got mad enough to blow everything up.
I'm not sure how I feel about this right now. On one side, FL239SDFJKLSO finally get a group that has enough power to do stuff and they blow up a few short months after I join! On the other side, eh, the members all had so much history between them that I always felt sort of left out. It was a good linkshell to be at during events, not so much during social times. But that could have been improved by me being on more.
On the upside, having been away for the entire period where it happened, there's no real way this can be pinned on me! It's always nice when problems aren't my fault.
Honestly though, being away for a month makes all FFXI problems seem pretty stupid and petty. I find myself just not caring too much about all this. Some people that I didn't really know but seemed sorta cool got mad at some other people that I didn't really know but seemed sorta cool, and because some people involved were real-life friends and some people involved were officers, the whole damn shell had to die. I don't want this sort of BS to involve me, ESPECIALLY since I haven't even been on the game, but it did since I don't have a linkshell, so that's pretty annoying.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't even know if I want to play FFXI anymore - not because of this drama, of course, but because I've been busy with real life. I log on for one day to see what's up, and apparently nothing good. Chard's starting a shell-in-exile for people that weren't quite done with endgame and want to keep the same group. I talked with some various AXI people and they seem willing for me to go back there, at least on the surface. I dunno where I'll end up. I'm not too worried about it really. Maybe I'll just take the time to level dancer a bit and not worry about linkshell obligations.
This entry and the events surrounding it annoy me enough to come up with the "damnit" tag, which is essentially the opposite of "awesome" - reserved for really bad stuff only.
In other news, Kailani quit today, which is actually a little more depressing. I LIKED Kai. Promyvion - Dem run where the RNG and WHM d/c'd! Airship battle where I ordered the entire party into combat against Ultima WEAKENED. Kailani was awesome. She will be missed.
In other, other news, I got dancer from 39 to 42 in an amazingly good party while listening to the dust settle. That was fun. So maybe I'll spend more time on FFXI after all.
