Is this really worth playing anymore?

So I don't really understand the point of this thread.
On one hand, it looks like you were looking for a genuine discussion on whether it's worth playing this game after so many misfortunes (mostly caused by your own ignorance), however, reading further:
Quote: ..Okay cool cool..... but stop derailing my post!! ;; I wanna see more replies like the first few. lol Quote: Talking from experience eh? lol Apparently you never grew up because you still release that hatred on other posts which I find even more so childish. lol I released ***on my own post. Wanna talk about your problems? Post your own and see what others think, or....just stfu. ^^ Quote: That's what I've been waiting to hear for some time. lol
It just leads me to believe you're looking for people to pat you on the head and say "Everything will be alright."
I guess I just don't see the point in seeking therapy on an internet forum. You're probably going to turn around and say "Tell something that everyone else HASN'T told me yet" but if you seriously contemplated SUICIDE over an INTERNET girlfriend, you have serious issues. That's not a FFXI problem, that's a YOU problem.

Perhaps he was seeking peers who have had similar experiences or others to relate to so some light can be shed on what would be an idea solution to the given dilemma.
It isn't necessary to delve into the psyche or make anti-productive posts made simply to ridicule others and/or stroke your ego. We all got issues, we all got skeletons in the closet. At the very least he's open about it and got some down to earth and straight to the point input/advice.

Sounds like he's using his FFXI as a scapegoat for his personal issues. Yes, FFXI was the setting in which his problems existed, but they were, by no means, the CAUSE. The CAUSE was his own ignorance. Of course some people are going to feel more....comfortable in using and abusing others with the shadow of anonymity protecting them. Once the game shuts down, your reputation in said game doesn't matter anymore. That's just a fact of life.
I also don't believe that "support" means giving someone a false sense of hope or security.

By support I mean giving a simple reality check and giving suggestions to overcome an emotional obstacle, regardless of what medium it took place in.

Here's a suggestion: Get therapy.

You got your emotionally vulnerable, your typical forum trolls and those who put in their two cents and try to help out. Kinda sums up everything yes?

If by "emotionally vulnerable" you mean "people who refuse to develop healthy ways to deal with bad situations and stress" then yes, you pretty much described the OP to a T.
And if giving the kid a reality check is "trolling," then I'll take that title gladly. The problem with people like you is everyone is so blinded by self-inflicted issues from kids like him, they feel sorry for them and refuse to tell them the cold hard truth.
The truth sucks sometimes. Best you learn that early.

It was suggested, on more than one occasion.. and in a far more constructive manner. You don't have to be so abrasive all the time Katarzyna. Unclench a little.

Glad to see everything is sunshine and rainbows for ya Kat. But you aren't really one to say what is and what isn't for someone else. As others have said, would this really be different had it been experienced in RL? I have no doubt the effect would be the same.

Katarzyna is a troll. Every single post I've read of her was to put someone down. Maybe she was nicer before, but I didn't notice her until recently. Just because she's a girl doesn't give her a valid point to be utterly annoyed by every emotional person on this planet and sue them about it... >.> Oh wait, maybe she's a guy. Damn, I completely missed that part. I say he's guilty of trolling.

Actually I think you're right, her/his avatar was like Toph a while back and he/she had a rough yet gentle aura about them. Or maybe that was me projecting traits from the character onto him/her.

Ok, you guys can play My Little Therapist as long as you want to. You guys can log off your PCs tonight feeling all warm and fuzzy inside because you've managed to hold an umbrella over this kid's head instead of letting the rain drench him until he finally thought about seeking shelter. I don't care. The OP can quit the game, commit suicide (DISCLAIMER: Not saying he SHOULD. In fact, he SHOULDN'T), admit himself in a residential treatment program, or simply stop posting and none of you would know the difference.
I was told to offer a suggestion, and I did. And then you guys start bitching about it because I didn't offer it "constructively." (READ: sugar coat)

It's funny really how it all turns out to be. Anyone remember that first feeling of playing FF for the first time? lol You run around with RSE gear killing lvl one mobs and loving it.. I'll never forget that feeling. Then you make friends and meet wonderful people who become closer than you'd ever imagine from a video game.
But after years of playthrough and broken memories I've come to realize FF is now nothing more than a place that people seem to forget about what matters in life.
Every single friend I met has forgotten me. I spent hours helping them get what they wanted just because I enjoyed it. In the end I'm tossed aside. It's as if I was just another NPC to them.
I met a beautiful girl on here once who became my best friend. We did everything together lol, farming, quests, duo, you name it. Eventually she became my girlfriend. It lasted for 6 months...six entire months before I found out she was married and only used me as a play thing for pleasure. You'd think it's nothing but when I really believed....when I really loved her...it honestly broke my heart.
Eventually while trying to love FF again I met another while trying to sell an Enhancing Sword. We ended up talking all day and night. lol It was...amazing. For some reason I came to really enjoy her presence. So I told her my life story...about my very first gf who died on her birthday, about my abusive parents, everything.... and about my ex-gf on FF who almost had me at suicide.
And so it went on....she comforted me and I fell for her. She promised to love me forever and be at my side. She promised to never hurt me and I did the same. Perhaps now it sounds so foolish but believe me at that moment of romance....reality changes.
Perhaps she loved me too, I'll never know. We were together a few months before she began to act strange...to have me question things. But whenever I asked she'd push away.. I began to fear that maybe it was happening all over again. But I also fought to hold the trust I had for her....I mean...she swore with all her heart that she loved me. And all I ever gave her was honesty and compassion.
....Today I found out she switched servers and tried to hide from me out of nowhere. Just like my ex... After swearing to never hurt me she did just the same as my ex-girlfriend did.
Laugh at me as you read this, while I cry as I write this. I'm merely a stupid kid who fell in love with the most beautiful girl he's ever met, but in the end she hurt me more than anyone will ever hurt me. I loved her...I still love her. But a few minutes ago I was forced to find where she fled and tell her that I loved her and if she truly never wanted to see me again I'd let her go...because I only wanted her to be happy...
I won't write any names because it's the manly thing to do. They know who they are...they may even be reading this at this very moment. The only thing I want to say is that even though this is merely a game...there are real people playing with real feelings and real lives. Is gil and gear really worth destroying someone's life? Whatever happened to playing for fun and personal enjoyment? I have no regrets for helping out the people I helped before...but for Christ's fucking sake stop fucking with my heart...
Call me emo. call me whatever the hell you want. But I'm just another regular player who loved playing this as much as anyone else. And I see what really happens in this game. I know how people truly are... In this game our true personalities come out and my god...lol...if this is how humans really are..then I sure hope that some fucking meteor shatters the planet. Because I'd rather be a worm than a human being.
If you took the time to read this then thank you... I have no one else to talk to so the FF community seemed just.
Someone please hack my account and delete all my shit because I don't have it in me to quit this prison of a game.
*EDIT* NEVER MIND ABOUT THIS LAST STATEMENT WTF???? EMO MOMENT MUCH?
sigh... edit#2 for those who misunderstood this statement: "But after years of playthrough and broken memories I've come to realize FF is nothing more than hell itself." People seemed to have taken it literally. I meant people in general. And all the bad shit that happens on it.
