I killed an automaton! But seriously, nothing special, and I managed 15k as well.

9. Find a large group of people to play with. Found some but would like to find more people.

The billing changes made me decide to waste my crysta on FFXI instead of it waiting in my account.

What I did when I returned (well now I play both ffxiv and ffxi, crafting on xiv mostly though, I can't handle the battle changes yet)

1- Was horrified by how empty White gate is, then I /sea alled and found 3k people online.... what?
2- Was horrified by how empty Rolanberry field is. I still don't know what happened to the mules...
3- Was horrified by how people claimed that they duo Kirin.
4- Realized all my PLDness is now not as hot. (atonement nooooooo)
5- Took 2hours to remember what happened to my HQ hauby, PCC, Cerb+1 mantle and other shit I had (gave away).
6- Lamented giving away above stuff and over 30mil gil. (I have 9k though!)
7- Checked AH, turns out I can rebuy everything I lost for around 1mil. ( /facepalm?)
8- Did abyssea, went 75 > 80 capped buffer and 4 merits in 3ish hours. (OH LORD!)
8.5- Was ing how great FFXI's UI and battle system is.
9- Went to read up on the new gear and stuff, I still dont know jack shit on how get this crap.
10- Did abyssea NMs, was fun.

Basicly I wasn't sure I want to get back but I kinda want to get 90 on my jobs (since thats super easy now) then get gear as some sort of a challenge while leveling up my sub crafts and Miner on FFXIV. (Crafting and gathering is enjoyable in FFXIV to me)

That'll probably be what I'll be doing until the battle aspects and UI of FFXIV is good enough for to play on a keyboard w/o wanting to kill myself.
