The Adventure Begins-

So around this time marks the day I officially started playing the extremely engaging game of FFXI.

I've always wanted to play but the idea of paying monthly for a game AFTER already having bought the game had always been a bit of a turn-off for me. I've been watching Ashriel play for 2+ years now though, yet when I reached that stage where I became nominally more financially independent enough to start playing on my own, she quit. Obviously I didn't want to play without her, yet about a few weeks back she started picking up the game again, and this past weekend literally shoved the FFXI friendscode pass into my face, and forced me to play it. Needless to say, I got hooked pretty fast. Right now I is a level 9 hume F thief starting out in the wonderfully pretty and witty and ghey land of Elvaan men aka San D'Oria, bravely smashing small bunnies, for it is the manly thing to do. (Duh)

Starting out the game with a friend who's already been playing for awhile is a very fortunate thing. I've been lucky enough to get into an LS since day 1 of playing, Ashy made sure to give me a linkpearl right off the bat as well as gilsies and advice to start me off. Knowing that gil does not come easy though, I vowed to pay her back soon as I can. But for the moment, enjoying a brand new level 7 leather set is purddy nice. Not too much else to say today, other than I'm enjoying my FFXI experience so far. :D
