Ok, ok, gonna share one of my deepest and darkest secret related to FFXI
Few years after I had started playing it, i was maybe at the peak of my addiction.
I still feel like im a person that struggles to control my addiction, but at that time, it was too close to being insane.
Well, one day the power went off in my street. Without any signs of recovering.
I had planned to farm some abyssea seals with friends, and then i found myself unable to play.
The urge to play was so intense, that i just grabbed my backpack, tossed my notebook there, and went out to find a hotel to play.
The closest one with lights on was a love hotel relatively close to my house. I just entered there and rented for a night a room. Getting there, i setup my notebook, connected to love hotel internet and just played for a couple of hours till me and my friends got enough to upgrade our gears.
I suppose before going to sleep, i checked out the TV with the “hot” channels unlocked, so i decided to “make the most” of my stay.
The next day i left early back home. The receptionist asked me to stay a little longer, but i just wanted to play at home, at that point.
