Crashed at 8pm last night, only to wake up close to 2am, so I did another Empress Band's worth on my BST40 (two hours for 3K EXP, with the gear-swapping and teleporting, then auctioning all the Dhalmel Hides afterwards) before oversleeping again. Still, with the exception of competition at a camp, easily remedied by moving to another, it feels good, soloing. Beastmaster is the final frontier in FFXI for me; I've done damage dealer (MNK), party support (BRD) and hate control (PLD). My social foray into the MMORPG has come full circle, and as anywhere else, I've grown weary of the same ol' same ol'—i.e., it's just me and my weiner.
