I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred more...

Okay, maybe not miles. In an effort at things, I'm trying to work up to that whole "walk 10,000 steps a day" thing. (I know for some of you out there, that's a joke. But for me, who is on a computer all day at work, then on a computer all day after work, it's not ever anything I've even gotten close to.) Apparently you can break that 10,000 steps ( Read more... )

Aftermath of early retirement is tough... we had some teams go down by 80% as a result of it. And, I mean, those people were backfilled with internal transfers or (cheaper) new hires, but all that experience lost. Things normalized eventually, but there were several months of chaos.

(It is also nice to have a remote boss, yeah)

Yeah, we're thinking at best the empty spots will be filled with new, cheap, inexperienced people. But that would still be better than just splitting up the work between those of us left...

It's so nice to have a remote boss. Makes life so easy and calm!

Good for you for getting extra steps in!

I need to get my stupid pedometer thingy going again. I used to be on https://www.walking4fun.com/, pretending to hike different trails.

Yeah, I really need to get a fitbit or something. I just count in my head and keep a tally on a Post-It note. So low tech!

"these purchasable packs can flag scenario quests from the former Realm Reborn and Heavensward story progressions of the game as complete, allowing you to focus on the current and latest expansion. The yet-unnamed "Job boost" Tales of Adventure will be available for every job (except Red Mage and Samurai), and will raise said Job's current level to 60 upon purchase ( ... )

Welcome back to the game!

Yeah, unfortunately Balmung IS that full. We have way, way more people than the next highest server, and that's only counting level 50+ people. The server is teaming with low level RP alts. Counting them, we're more than double the population of the next highest server.

Luckily the transfers aren't closed for good! But still a pain now, for people who want to join us...

Yeah, the jump potions are causing a lot of disagreement. However (unfortunately) some people just don't care about the storyline, they just want to raid. So SE gets money and they get to do what they want... Plus RPers will be using them as well. My FC leader has leveled sight alts to max and completed the MSQ on them all. He said he would have used them if they had been available at the time.
