looking for a new home. Open to anything

[cadoxangelus]

Hey everyone,

Recently I have been logging in less and less over the past two months or so, due to lack of motivation. Most of you may be thinking, it's maybe a good time to quit, but the reason why I'm posting this, is because i'm not just ready to give it up, I have yet done any hardcore endgame events, and yet to finish some storylines. Currently I am in a Sky/sea/dyna shell that is decent, the issue I have with them is the personalities within the shell. Some of the members like most EGshells are cocky, self centered, greed before need group of people.

I'm not looking to be engulfed with the drama started by the leaders/members between other shells on my server. I've always been the one to do my job, keep to myself and just get the event over with so I can worry about the next event or job to level for my ls.

Possibly I'm ranting, but I'm looking for a new home, a new ls, a new perception of this game in a light I may be able to enjoy my time online. No real prefernce on server, looking for est, but other run times can be worked around. I have Both thief and Corsair to 75, lolmnk at 73. I have sky/sea/einj access, and some minor experience in all 3. Any suggestions are gladly appreiciated.

Honestly, it sounds like you just need to find yourself a good social linkshell to plug into when you're not doing an event.

I've tried that route. The event ls im in, doubles as a social shell when not doing events, but like i mentioned before, theyre the kind of group who constantly belittle the members or players outside of the shell, flaunting things other people dont have or want. Also i should mention, Most of my friends list consists of people who have gone off to RL heaven or so entwined in their egls to the point we dont speak because of it.Another factor, not being able to make new friends via parties or merit parties, is because im stuck in the ls parties as cor. I know it seems like im whining, and not doing anything. I am to an extent, thats why I came here before BG to see what the "sane" community of ffxi players have to say before i get flamed for saying the same thing.

I'd wager that an endgame shell doubling as a social doesn't really work unless you like the people in it, and it sounds like you don't.

I'd recommend sneaking off to try out a new social shell, and maybe find an excuse to party with other people. Do something that isn't merits at 75. Round up people for a quest, level some oddball job with new players. I don't know. I'm still trying to figure out how to meet new people in this myself. I've found parties that have some down time tend to lend themselves to the idle chatter that lets people get to know new folks, but there's also the obstacle of there just aren't enough worthwhile folks around some nights.
