Just letting everyone I've known the past four and a half years that my FFXI days are done (most likely). I just got orders, much earlier than I planned on, for Camp Bastion, Afghanistan and I leave for training with in days. Going to spend the remaining time I have here at home with my wife and finding a way to tell my mom.
I know what you all are thinking, I'll be back. Maybe so but by the time I get back from Afghan it's going to be summer of 2010 and this game will be dead or dying out for FFXIV (as long as SE doesn't screw up ... wait, what am I thinking, SE will screw it up).
When I get back to the US, I'll have a baby to take care of and it's probably best I don't start playing again. I'll keep in touch for the next couple weeks before I actually get to Afghan since I should have some free time here and there. If you want to keep in touch, PM me and I'll give you me email address. I'll be sure to check here a couple times.
Take care everyone,
Randy
